86 - Icon

2.5

Small L for sure

By pipespipes, 10-02-2021

When I opened this "Base or Mid icon pack" and saw Netherlands flag, I was hoping for Gullit, Cruyff, Rijkaard or Seedorf. My dreams were gone when I saw "N" (polish translation to "ST"). Anyhow it's good for me I get Kluivert - no Dennis, RVN or MVB. I used to play Fifa 2001 with Fc Barcelona and changed Kluivert's name for my own (I got same first name).

I played 25 matches - 13 in fut champions and 12 in rivals with that guy on front and he's decent, quite usable, but has also very narrow range of options that allows him to score. I scored 18 goals and get 16 assists in these games. Let's start with some drawbacks:

He can't score with finesse shots. At all. I tried finesse shots with his sidekicks - Mane, Gnabry, Rashford, Robben and even Koopmeiners - each of them did score with finesse shot, he couldn't. It's such a shame for me.

He's not that strong. He's not that agile. I felt it's my car on the street covered by huge amount of snow.

He's not that fast. Even with hunter he can't overrun easily defenders. He can't score with a header even though he's tall.

What are the pros?

He got INSANE long shots. I can't believe it's 77 on his cards. I scored almost half of the goals outside the penalty box. He perfectly finish simple shots, the same for chips. He does find nicely spot to finish.

Would I buy him? No. Do I recommend him? Not that much. I say: give him a chance if you have him, I though he's worse than that. I play with him 45-70 minutes and then I sub him with Fati POTM / Rashford etc.

Very good long shots (77 is deceiving for sure)

Clinical simple finishing

Good positioning

Pace is a lie

Not so good in dribble

Not that strong

Can't score finesse shots nor headers

How to make Kluivert Usable

I know why everyone is on Futbin looking at this card trying to make themselves not feel depressed after grinding for a base icon pack just to get Kluivert, but he is usable is the right situations. First of all, Kluivert is meta, but only with the right chemistry style. It's tempting to use hawk or hunter or catalyst, and us him as a CAM/CF but this isn't what Kluivert is best at. In my experience ,after packing him in a b...

Target Man

I will keep this brief - You are buying a fairly budget icon (500k on PC) - 4star combination with nice pace.

Atrocious

After many hards hours of work, i finally had a team a would consider decent. Nothing could go wrong for me i thought, so i tested my luck in an icon pack. Got Bobby Moore. Shit, but half usable.When the second pack came around, i thought to myself, "well i can't be extremely unlucky once again" but again, i was wrong. Instead i got 188centimeters of unu...
