93 - Icon
4.0
Shocking for a 93
By TheBigPoppar, 23-03-2021

I was hesitant doing the prime icon pack but i did it and i ended up getting 93 Xavi, i wasn't too excited but i thought he looks quite incredible and he is Xavi so i popped him into my team. To get the most out of him he needs to be your go to CAM and be the playmaker, unfortunately for me i have POTM2 Bruno Fernandes and he is literally better than Xavi in every way imaginable. And for that i couldn't move Bruno out of the CAM spot for Xavi, so now i play him as a LCM in a 4-3-1-2 with free roam and balanced on him, since he has 90 stamina i prefer him not to run too much so he can last well all game.


His stats are accurate, he feels slick in game and very fast on the ball due to the agility and silky smooth dribbling, passing is insane, he whips balls across the pitch and does great outside foot passes. I do find the lack of 4 star weak foot a bit shite, as left footed passes can go hay wire pretty often which is frustrating. Pace is good enough, i don't feel the need for Hunter or Shadow, instead i've put gladiator on him to make really good finishing and interceptions come from the card. he is 5'7 and super weak, he gets knocked off the ball with ease so you have to kind of shield away from the tackle more so.


Overall he is good for a CM, better at CAM but for me Bruno has the spot

The Midfield Maestro you never knew you needed

This guy is AMAZING. I played him as my attacking CM in a 442 at 2300 SR, and I was NOT dissappointed.Originally I just wanted to get someone in my team until I could afford baby Zidane, but that has definitely changed now. I have played 21 games and he managed to get 12 goals and 17 ...

XAVI HERNANDEZ ! - A card that is a pleasure to us

I was lucky getting this item from the mid/prime icon sbc from the icon swaps 1. Xavi is an amazing card for any squad. I use him as a second CDM in a 4-2-3-1 formation with shadow chem style next to someone more defending oriented player. Xavi is totally a box to box player with defending and attacking skill, but overall, a ceative and building player. He is able to defend with his amazing interceptions ability and also ab...

Xavi Review

I got Xavi from Prime icon upgrade, and I was so excited bcs I am a big fan and a supporter of Barcelona. I replaced Jones for Xavi, and I am playing him alongside headliners Goretzka. I really like him ingame, he is the brain of my team, managing and controlling the game. PACE 9/10 Pretty fast ngl, with shadow he has very good acceleration and sprint speed. SHOOTING 8/10 Descent shooting, niice long...
