Player Review
92 - Icon
Growing up in a Welsh family and being a lifelong united fan along with my dad, Giggs was always our favourite player. I had always wanted to use him in FIFA but unfortunately, I was transfer banned in December. I packed him on Thursday from my mid or prime icon pack and all of my friends were laughing at me when I was so excited about getting him. He immediately slotted straight into my team as my left midfielder. Playing in a 442 he felt brilliant and like one of the most involved wide players I have used so far in this game. I used him for 20 FUT champions matches and in 17 rivals games, in division 2 and in champs I stopped at Gold 3.
- Pace: He feels quite quick due to the chemistry style. Off the mark, he feels quick with good acceleration.
- Crossing: When I got into the right positions his whipped and normal crosses were deadly and they created a lot of chances and got me a lot of assists.
- Finishing: With the chemistry style it gave him a small boost to finishing but also a significant upgrade to shot power which made his close-range shots very good.
- Smoothness: On the ball, he felt fantastic, despite the low agility and balance. The 91 ball control and 94 in-game dribbling stats speak for themselves.
- Cheap: If you support united and/or are Welsh I would recommend buying him as his value for money on the transfer market is very good.
- Positioning: He always makes excellent runs into space and when using L1/LB + A passes you can easily exploit space in behind and he can easily go through on goal due to his good pace.
- If you get him from the icon pack it is an L because of his price, or if he simply doesn't work in your team.
- Height: He is a bit tall for a winger, this wasn't much of an issue for me because I usually crossed early instead of trying to beat players or did one-twos to get in behind. The height makes him feel a bit clunky on the ball at times when sprint dribbling.
- Weak foot: This is not the biggest issue for wingers but when I had no other options but to shoot on his right it was obviously very inconsistent.
- Skill moves: With only 3* skills this will be a major issue for the skilled community and is often what makes players turn a blind eye on this card, was not an issue for me though because I do not skill a lot.
- He is not WAMAN or King Kazu: Speaks for itself.
