91 - Icon Moment
I luckily packed prime Ronaldinho last week, decided to sell him & beef up my squad. after trying various Icon Strikers (Prime Henry, Prime Torres (who was amazing), & Prime Stoichkov) i fell upon Moments Crespo, and boy did i not look back!
I use the 4-5-1, and switch to 4-3-3 ingame with Crespo at ST, Neymar LW, Mbappe RW, Messi CAM, Xavi and Bruno Guimares as CM's
As a lone striker with the service of Messi, Neymar, 93, Xavi, and Mbappe, he just bangs in goals! Scoring 23 goals in 11 matches so far! (Div3)
Pace 91: - His pace feels about right. i use a Engine on him to boost it a bit. he has no problem with running away from CB's, fullbacks might be a bit difficult.
Shooting 94: - The best stat on this card! 98 finishing, combined with 97 positioning makes him an absolute assassin in -and around the box. he will finish just about everything you throw at him. The 4* weak foot at times feels like 5*!
Dribling 92: - Another great stat thrown into the mix! even though he is of a bigger build & 6-foot tall, he feels really smooth on the ball. Thanks to his 93 Agility, 87 Balance, along with 91 Ball Control, 92 Dribling & 4* skills, he can easily turn the opposition players inside out.
Passing 74: - Not really the stat that i use the most on my strikers. He has no problem with making simple passes. but the 40 yard diagonal will be a bit troublesome
Physical 76: - LIES! might be the Aggression which pulls this stat down. He feels really strong on the ball, the 81 Strength feels a lot higher (feels 90-Ish). His stamina (83) is enough for him to last the entire 90, but might struggle with extra time.
Defending 39: Irrelevant stat for a ST, does well to press the backline though. Is a good presence in the final Third, and snaps up the occasional loose pass.
