89 - Icon

4.5

The Maradona from the Carpathians...

By Bucur, 17-03-2021

I grinded icon swaps for him because he is legend for us Romanians, and I'm so glad I did. Absolutely transformed my team and puts in great performances every game. He's an excellent advanced playmaker and has done wonders for me, so I definitely recommend him to anyone especially considering the value and quality you are getting for his rather low price, and when combined with a hunter chemistry style will start running riot across the virtual field. He has truly amazed me since I got him months ago, and I will likely be keeping him until the endgame.

Vicious shooting

Hagi has ridiculous long shots and shot power, and despite not having the finesse shot trait, he's able to pull them off excellently and easily put in these chances from outside the box. A clinical finisher inside the box, as well, and all of this combines to make him a threat from all areas of the pitch. I seriously feel bad for any opponents who dare to give this man any shred of time and space, as he will gladly lash out efforts from anywhere and bury them tob-bins.

A true playmaker

Hagi's passing is simply phenomenal, able to link up and play crisp short passes as well as making weaving and weighted through passes to strikers or wide players on runs, picking them out with ease. Coupled with outstanding dribbling as he's able to weaved his way through players especially in tight areas allows him to dictate the tempo of any game, and alongside his decent kick of pace, allows him to be influential to all parts of your team.

Positioning

Hagi occupies his space very well, linking up with the mdifield and facilitating great interchange with the strikers, lying just behind him. Despite him not having the best work rates, I find him always in the right positions and constantly making runs to my surprise, sometimes even pushing as far up as my forwards. I would heavily recommend putting him in this attacking midfield role, as I feel he languishes and doesn't shine as much in other spots.

Physicality

Hagi is far from the strongest player, and will get muscled off of the ball if you're not careful. While this is nicely balanced and counteracted by his great balance, it can be a nuisance.

Stamina

You'll likely see him getting a little tired as the game goes on, but I usually have no trouble playing him until the end of the game, and in turn he has gone on to score plenty of clutch, late-minute goals for me.

Top Class

After a culmination of losses on FUT Champs and sitting on 13 wins with 8 games left I was in desperate need of some inspiration, I had 800k in the bank and wanted a player to come in and change everything. I had been a big fan of Hagi for a while and he was always on my radar, I took the chance and got him for 720k, it's fair to say I haven't looked back since. I ended up winning 7 out of my last 8 games with Hagi in the s...

Mr. Fantastic

In real life I am his huge fan. Powerful left foot. Pass, dribbling he has everything. In older FIFAs I used to sell him after a few matches because he was somehow really weak in-game. But not this year. He floats, he flies... I use him mostly as CAM behind SON and WERNER IF. 11 matches I played with him, 10 wins in rivals. I was in div 6 before Hagi... Now I'm div 4 player. This guy is literally a captain. All team's attac...

What a player...

I got Hagi by doing icon swaps, and since he only costs 9 swaps, I can say I haven't grinded too much. I use him as a CAM/CF in 4-4-1-1, behind freeze Joao Victor, and the midfielders are TOTGS Coman, IF Goretzka, base Zakaria and silver stars Wamangituka. I recommend using a hunter on him. With the chem style, his pace is great, maybe not Mbappe level but pretty good. His shooting is incredible, especially the long...
