Player Review

93 - Icon Moment

3.5

Luis Figo - Moments - July 2021

By YoutubeSkyro, 09-07-2021

As a content creator that does player reviews on YouTube, I have used many icons in this game.

Let me ask you a question. Have you ever wanted to love a player in Fifa 21? But no matter how much you want to love them, you just can excuse the poor performances that the player produces?

Yes? Well... me too. Luis Figo is my perfect example for this you see.

High / Low Work rates, well rounded stats and 400k, what could possibly go wrong?

In my Youtube Review I used him for 3 games. Figo had 4 goals and 0 assists (2 goals were pens)

At the time of writing this review, I have now used him for 12 games and he has amassed 6 goals and 2 assists.

I have listed my pros and cons down below :

Pace - Luis Figo feels incredibly quick, especially for a player that is 5'11 in height. Manually trigger a run for him to get in behind the defence and he will out pace many wing backs and central defenders.

Shooting - Arguably my favourite stat on PIM Figo's card. If you want a rough idea of how his shots feel and execute, then I would say he is extremely similar to Ronaldo 92 (CR7). No matter if you use his laces or the side of his foot, he will rifle it into the back of the net.

Passing - I have to say, he very rarely, if at all, misplaced a pass. No matter if he was on the wings or in the centre of the field. Very consistent.

Physical - This is a deceptive stat you see. Figo, similar to CR7, is able to hold off defenders remarkably well. This most likely comes down to his average body type and 5'11 height. Because one thing's for sure - 80 strength and 78 aggression isn't what allows him to hold off the likes of Tapsoba, Kimmich and other defensive powerhouses. Granted, he won't hold them off forever, however, he will offer you just enough time to re-evaluate your next move.

Dribbling - Now we are entering difficult territory. 94 face card stat for dribbling... hmmm... I'd have to disagree. As you will see in my video review, he isn't very responsive. Intricate maneuvers feel impossible with this card. You have to preempt every movement when going up against defenders. If you don't, Figo will feel useless. The best way I could describe it is like having 1 second delay in-game. You enter the ball roll or body feint and your thumb has already left the stick before the skill move has been executed.

Movement and Positioning - Now these were hugely disappointing. High / Low Work rates are a huge eye catcher when I look at attacking players. I know they'll be good for counter attacks and quick passes up field. Figo on the other hand, Figo doesn't quite follow the same expectations of a player with H / L Work rates. Figo can often be seen doing literally nothing. No movement, nothing, nada. So I decided to slap the get in-behind instruction on for him. nope. no change.

As for positioning... ohhh boy. I'm convinced he plays poker with the ball boys for the majority of the game. I feel like I'm playing with 10 men for large portions of the game due to his lack lustre positioning. Whenever he was available, I had to work to get him the ball. (Does that make sense?) 93 Positioning? Please, "why you always lying?"

And last, but certainly not least... His body type. Average. Both literally and figuratively speaking. I'm a firm believer that body type makes or breaks a card in Fifa 21. As for the average body type, it's very lackluster. It doesn't provide much in value but certainly takes away from many different players in this year's instalment. I believe the average body type is the main reason as to why his dribbling and movement is so poor. And it's a shame! Because no matter what, you can't do anything about it!

Overall, Luis Figo Prime Icon Moments is not worth the 400k price tag. I would say he is worth 250-300k MAX. There are many better alternatives now that are available.

Lethal Finisher

I picked him up for 1,48 kk a week ago because I knew I needed a strong link for FUT Birthday Renato. Actually hadn't played Figo before in any FIFA and therefore didn't really know what to expect. Ended up using him as a RS in a narrow diamond formation with a Finisher Chem Style. Played 27 games of WL (23:4) and 11 games of Div 1 with him and he racked up 38 goals and 22 assists in the process.His H/L wo...

If only he was 5* 5*...

He is the perfect outfield player, he misses no stats, his pace is insane - dribbling perfect, passing too perfection. Strong, powerful and clinical shots. Outside foot shots are insanely good, All he misses is my most important stats; 5* sm and 5* wf. I am a skiller so I find i enjoy the game 2x as much with a 5* sm player within my team. However with this god you cannot not have him in your...

Mejor de lo que esperaba

For several weeks I was looking for alternatives for the Right Wing position in my Real Madrid thematic squad, as close to the goal as possible; I tried with Raúl Moments, Benzema TOTS, Puskas, but there was always something that did not convince me.That's when I came up with a way to put Figo on the team; stud...
