89 - Icon

4.5

Hidden gem (Gary Lineker)

By Coys2007, 24-02-2021

I packed him in my mid icon pack and assumed he would be awful but when I looked at his stats I thought I'd give him a try and boy this was one of the best decisions I've made this year. I used him at striker with Rooney as a cam and their link up play was excellent. In division 3 I scored most goals from through balls as his acceleration lets him speed away from most defenders as well as this, he can find loads of space in the box as he can slither away from most defenders. Lets move on to his finishing, his finesse shots aren't very reliable and most times will go past the post mainly because of his low curve. But except for this he is one of the most clinical strikers I've used his across goal shot have a 90% chance of going in the back of the net and his weak foot feels 5 star as he can finish everything. his dribbling isn't the best hence why I put a engine chem style on him after this dribbling and pace boost he feels a lot more agile but still nothing close to anyone like Mane. But overall, he is an excellent player if you want to have some fun with an icon striker at a low budget.

Top striker at a low price

It's the first icon I get this year, before I was using Lewandoski which was strong but also quite slow so I decided to substitute it whit this card which other than having overall good stats is also quite fast in comparison. I have now played more than 20 games with this icon and I feel I have made the right choice. I have a lot of fun playing with it since it is very fast and almost impossible to stop when he starts runni...

The Nose of Justice

Oh, Gary, how did i go so long without you?Let me start from the beginning. I've always had a special place in my heart for 1980's English Football. There seems to be a an aura about that era, a certain je ne sais qoui. Perhaps its the what might have beens that came to define that era of the English game: What if England beat Argentina in '86 or Germany in '90, what if English Clubs were allowed to compet...
