87 - Icon
5.0
Incredible
By Didiervies, 26-03-2021

I decided I wanted a striker that had some physicality to them, that could go up against big centrebacks and dominate them, I particularly wanted them to be strong in the air as well just so I had more ways to score.


I chose the 87 version because he had more agility and pace which would allow me to turn and just be quicker, in general, to go with the strong physical stats. I play him in a 4-3-3 and make sure he is on stay forward and to make runs in behind. I have two wingers with decent crossing attributes so I can feed him if I get down the channels. There is something about this card that just finds ways to get into space and beat a defender to the header even when it doesn't look like it's going to happen. You cross a ball in and it looks like it's not going to beat the defender and he manages to leap and latch onto it and head it with a lot of force.


If you want to play him in with his runs in behind then he does that perfectly as well, he has great attack positioning and makes those runs, and has incredible pace to beat most defenders in this game. On top of that, he is incredibly strong so he is like a train once he's in. The finishing is superb as well with the 4* weak foot meaning he can pretty much score on either side comfortably. I scored two free-kicks in ten games with him despite the free-kick stat not being incredibly high. Long shots felt fairly strong as well.


He will also give you support on defence, for example defending corners he is going to save you a lot of the time.


This is the best card I have used this FIFA so much that I felt the need to write a review on it. I have chopped and changed my team a lot and tried different Icons, but this one is just incredibly fun and strong. If you're looking for a striker that is going to get you goals from all kinds of positions and bully some centre-halves then I would highly recommend this card.

not Meta.. but very fun

I got him out of my Base Icon SBC and was pretty happy to not see the Danish Flag (no offense). As mentioned in the title, Drogba definitely isn't meta in my opinion. He just lacks the dribbling, especially Agility and Balance. BUT he just finishes everything in front of goal. His shooting just feels phenomenal and Pace combined with his 91 strength is definitely enough to outrun most defenders. Another thing that just stoo...

Class.

Hi. I packed him from my base icon pack and after first games I was very disappointed, beacuse he was clunky and annoying. After playing 50 games with him I have to say he is one of better strikers I have used this year.Use him in 2 st formation alongside some agile player like Werner, Rashford etc.Very nice card overall, but a bit expensive. I will save for his better cards, beacuse I liked him : ).
