87 - Icon

2.0

Gonna keep it short

By rohitas, 28-02-2021

Yeah... I got him out of my mid icon pack.

Gotta say I wasn't TOO disappointed at first cause he looked okay.

I'm a div 2 gold 1 player and I have to say this card is lackluster, in this stage of the game his stats don't hold up and he's gonna bring you more bad then good.

Not really his fault and his prime might be a tad better then this one, but the mid just lacks the stats in the right areas to even be considered competent.

I'm quite a casual player and still have normies in my team like Alba and Lenglet(even though I have the coins for Mendy and Varane) because I dont really care about the meta and just want fun, so of course I was gonna give this barca legend a chance considering it's my favorite club.

Pros:

Defending is good
Can make some good passes with that right foot
Unique body type makes him feel less sluggish
You can have Pep be the manager of Pep:)

Cons:

He turns slow
Even with a shadow I find him too slow
Can't shoot
Can't play CB
Not game changing in any way
Kante is better for 1/3 of the price

The problem is, he doesn't add much to the attack which would be fine if his defensive contributions were really good, that's the case with the 87 rated Makalele that I have. At CM he's just trash, unless you use him as the middle CM on stay back while attacking, he was decent for me in that role. CDM can be fine and he might be the best low-tier CDM icon but if you have a good team throw him into a sbc if you packed him, don't even consider buying him if you're teams good, atleast try the prime in that case. You're better off using storyline Dembele (85) if he fits into your team, he's a quality midfielder. Hope this helps and thanks for reading.

guardiola the tank!

i've used this man for 20 games so far and i think he is one of the most underrated icon cvm's in the game, and why you may ask? because this man's defence is so good, i think he is one of the best tacklers in the game. his standing tackles are so good. its on vieira and mathaus level.also he hase 78 pace but with the shadow he keeps up with most attackers, he also doesn't look very agile but i actually don't ...

A Genius on the pitch

At first, i just bought it for the chem, and then just buy a better icon, but after i tested him in the weekend league, he surely will stay on my team.I thought he is so cheap because he will not be good in-game, "maybe the stamina, the pace, and strenght" are poor, but in-game, he didn't feel like that...

Just a beast!

So let me start off by saying this man got me transfer banned in march bc I needed him for a separate team to get Thiago full them as he had two red links etc.. and I've got to say, It doesn't bother me whatsoever, I have used Guardiola for 158 games now and consistently he is amazing. This mans recovery speed is ridiculous! He will win tackles all the time and he feels absolutely solid and you may be thinking he may be clu...
