i made a mistake

By Yioryis, 29-01-2021

I have made a review previously on this card, i had spent almost all my coins on him and had my expectations too high, since i have tried many others and decided to get Cruyff back into my starting 11. Previously i had said he isn't that good etc. and he isn't worth the coins but i will explain. If you have a bad rare gold team and just enough for him i don't think you should do that. But if you have a nice squad of players who can nicely compliment him Cruyff is a monster. As my ST in the 4-2-3-1 i can say he is all i needed from that position. When i didn't have as many coins i used Neymar in that position and he did just fine but he wasn't quite IT. Cruyff who is now surrounded by prime Kaka, Mbappe, and Joao Felix POTM plays like a player worth what he costs.

Pace 10/10

Even with the hawk applied his pace is insane he feels faster with no chemstyle than neymar with hunter, and with hawk he becomes a torpedo.

Shooting 9.5/10

This cards shooting is one of the best I have tried, (with the hawk) his shot power is blasphemous, it might kill the goalkeeper, every shot inside the box is hit with so much power that any goalkeeper with less than 99 reflexes couldn't hope to save it. His positioning is something i value very highly, he is always in the right position nothing else to say. His longshots are pretty OP to say the least and don't worry that this card doesn't have finesse shot trait because he does but its hiding somewhere. The only flaw with the card (that all cards have) is that on occasion he will send the ball wide, but this should not be a deterrent.

Passing 8.4/10

Nothing crazy to say but he is a very consistent passer whether it be a through ball, long pass, short pass. (I haven't used him for more than 20 games so I cant be completely sure of his passing)

Dribbling 10/10

What did you expect? His dribbling is similar to Neymar in the way he turns and similar to Pele in how responsive he is, when someone says icon stats aren't boosted I will just point them to this card and his dribbling. Far superior to Neymar because his balance can barely be felt.

Physicals 7/10

With the hawk he gets 71 strength and 78 aggression, this compared to Neymar is a very significant upgrade and very noticeable upgrade, although he can still get bodied its not a very common occurrence and the stats he gets are just about the bare minimum to be very jammy. If dispossessed you can count on him to try and get the ball back but most of the time the ball will just fall to his feet. The main problem with this card is that he has low stamina. And if you plan to play him CAM I would say not to. As a stay forward ST with conservative interceptions he will be all right, for me he lasts up to 90 minutes and depending I might push him to 105 as ST.

PS: if you are a running fake shot rat like me you will enjoy this card even more.

If you are someone who swears by Neymar then try this card, if you skill this card will be a delight to use.

GOAT

Ok, so earlier this year I did the icon swaps base icon pack and got lineker. was absolutely pissed with that, so I did the base icon sbc and packed the goat himself, Johan Cruyff. I've had him for a while now, but this is my full review. I play him in a 442 with son up top next to him, and he's somehow better than i expected, and i had high expectations. He cannot miss, it's programmed in the code somewhere, i swear. Hes r...

Babe Cruyf

Hi guys, I was lucky enough to pack him from base icon pack he is insane, used him.with hawk at first to add additional strength then changed to deadeye because I think he is quick enough and it is better to add additional shot power instead of strength, got first gold 1 ever with him scoring most of the goals, he can shoot with both feets and now his shot power feels like puskas's, he lucks some balance and strength but he...
