87 - Icon

4.0

TBH, I expected more.

By andronovm, 27-02-2021

Guy, you might hate it or not, but ETO 87 card doesnt feel any top-level/ elite / META. I expected much more for 1.5 mill coins and those stats.

I start by saying > I was a bit fan of ETO in RL and loved his cards in previous FIFAs.

I finally got 2mill and decided to try base 87 card first.

He played decent. 10 games / 7 goals. But the feeling of the card was not great.

Most disappointing part > his reactions/ first touch movements / acceleration => not great. He feels a bit heavy on the ball and defenders can easily tackle while you make first move with left stick.

His dribbling didnt feel like elite too. Not agile and not quick . Nowhere near to Mbappe/ Neymar type of dribbling.

Other than that.... He was good. Finished most of chances/ had some crazy good long range finesse goals too. When he is fed with through ball on a run.. he will finish everything

But my point is => for 1,5 MIll I would expect the card to be a game changer.... next level..

In reality, base ETO didnt feel better than Prime Crespo. Who is only 650K. ....+ Mbappe gold is better for 600K.....

Value for coins is not there.

Maybe I will try Mid/ Prime version later this year. Or will by PIM Crespo...coz Crespo card felt more complete for me.

The king (Samuel Eto'o)

Jesus Christ, this man should go straight to jail for sending so many kids crying to their moms after getting slapped by Eto'o. His shot is like Cristiano Ronaldo's who I previously had but thought why not get Eto'o. That was probably the best decision of my life. In 24 games he scored 42 goals and had 13 assists. I know what you are thinking, its probably in division 6 or something. No I am division 1 and grinded my assche...

Eto What a Beast 10/10

I was fortunate enough to pack Eto from the baby icon SBC and wanted to wait for a while to write a review before ? had enough games to evaluate him. All I can say is he is an absolute unit. ?f you can afford him you should get him. He is lightning fast, turns super fast (even faster than mbappe). Shots are always accurate with the insane shooting. Such a deadly card.

The Best Baby Icon Striker

This man is an absolute beast! I tried R9 before and was really satisfied but i missed sth. The only payable alternative for R9 was Eto'o imo.He currently cost 500k less than R9, even Eto'o has better in Game Stats. I Played him next to Mertens in a 4-2-4 Formation and i was really surprised how much better than R9 he is.Eto'o is so fast, that you don't Need a Speed boost chemstyle on him. His shots,...
