90 - Icon Moment
4.5
Overhated merchant
By Wolven, 24-03-2021

so i've seen loads of people hating on this card, going so far so as to say that there are GOLD cards more value for money than his SBC. Lies. Absolute lies. For such a card, 450 K (and soon to fall because fodder will crash down) is a STEAL. Let's dive in, shall we?


  1. PACE-91 (+5 with Engine)

Brilliant. His inherent stats being so high, getting a +5 from the chemstyle, and being a short 5'9 makes him a tough player to chase down.


2. SHOOTING-93

lies. absolute lies. It feels like a 99 in game ngl. His 4* WF feels almost like a 5*. If he shoots, it's going in. Simple as.

One thing i do want to mention is his positioning. With that 95 POSITIONING, all it takes is a decently placed through ball to split apart the defense. In the 30-ish games ive used him, 90% of my goals came from Through-Balling the defenders' line, Wright's sprint towards the goal, and the inevitable goal. With that Positioning, i rarely found the need to dribble with him since he always got into a good position.


3. Passing- 72 (+6 with Engine )

crossing and FKA? Abysmal. Curve? Abysmal. short passing and vision? Decent. Like i said, he is not going to be that guy who puts through balls in behind, HE is the person who gets on the end of those through balls.


4. Dribbling- 84(+5 with Engine)

Huge L for most. However, with an engine, it's actually quite decent. He doesn't dribble like Prime Cruyff, but he does the job. And like i said, with the elite positioning, you aren't gonna be needing to dance around in the box with him.




VERDICT-MAYBE

Hang on, lemme finish. this is a good card. absolutely. even more so if you don't have a lot of coins or fodder. BUT. I'd recommend waiting for some time, right until he expires, to see if EA release some better icon SBCs that cost around 500K. That's what i'll be doing, since it seems like the smartest option. There's no point in grinding him out only to have EA release a prime Lineker card which is better for around the same price.

good pace

brilliant shooting

dribbling is decent, not the best

passing is sub-par

most people need at least 4*SM

Dynamic Image Dream!

First off I want to state why I did this card; I'm a huge Arsenal fan and as soon as I saw this card was released in SBCs I knew I had to do him. Even though he is not a "meta" player I did him and probably would have no matter what his stats were. Going into this card I did not know what to think. Would he be a player with low agility who couldn't finish? Or would I be able to fix the "issue...

Give him a try (Wright)

I am writing this review because I am tired of watching reviews of this card on youtube and seeing the reviewer trying to pull off skill runs and la croquetas with this guy, failing, and then saying that this is a bad card. Its not. I decided to get the loan for this card in order to see if he could be an upgrade to my prime Owen. I used him as a right st in a 4312 with EOAE Roo...
