Player Review
94 - Icon
I will keep this review short. If you have any questions please write them below. For reference, I am a div 1 player. All games has been in Div 1. I have not yet tried him in WL.
Passing:
He got that icon presence and he finds passes even I didn't think of. He can bend passes around players and into spaces in a way that I have not experienced with any other player in the game, de Bruyne and Messi are not even close. Passing is really his outstanding attribute. He can find open space with both feet and deliver it exactly where you want it. Doesn't matter if the forward wants it on the run or standing stil, he will make that pass. He is really godly in this area.
Shooting:
He also has a sublime shot with both feet thanks to his 5 star weak foot. Finess shots are really his thing and he has scored some amazing ones. In addition he can power shoot as well.
Dribbling:
To be honest, you should not expect him to dribble like Neymar. He is somewhat fluid but sometimes a bit stiff when dribbling. It took me some games to get use to. However, with his physical presence and his 5* 5 * he can still dribble pass his man and run towards goal or find space for a pass. I stil rate him highly is this regard. He gets control of the ball instantly and is always a threat when going on a dribble run. Don't be afraid to dribble with him, just don't overdo it.
Physical:
He is strong and can hold his own, however he is no beast like koubially or Van dijk. You can feel he got power as he wins headers and duels but don't expect wonders here. He does last all 90 minutes for me. Not a problem.
Defending:
He is good. He can play the part of CM but he doesn't pick up/win lose balls as well as for example Kante.
Summary:
Great card, I would even say Amazing. I absolutely love this card. I previously tried pele 91 and Eusebio 91 and for me Zidane brings more to the table as I play a lot from the midfield. I need someone to feed my attackers and Zizou plays this part to perfection. His presence is really felt and he has won me several tight games already. I usually drive the ball up field with him, takes on the defender and then go for a pass. When you get an the opportunity to shoot, go for it. He really got a cannon.
Information:
I played him with a shadow as CM in div 1.
