Marco van basten que loco que esta

My god... I have used Van Basten 89 in FIFA 19 and FIFA 20 and scored more than 2000 goals. This year it could not be the exception. Bought him for 485k to use him in the 2nd Weekend League. 50 goals in the 2nd WL and 42 in the 3rd WL. His shooting is just AMAZING.

-Shooting: his right foot is just like a guided missile. Finesse shots are god. Longshot is also amazing too. His shooting is so elegant and classy. He is always where you want your stiker to be. Inside the box he is just unstoppable
-Physicality: Although he is not the strongest player of the game, his big body allows him to win aerial duels and fight hand to hand with the defenders. He is Joe Gomez and Varane's worst nightmare. He does not have a lot of stamina, but i do not use him for big runs
-Dribbling: He has only 3 SM, but i do not use skills because they have ruined this game and i think they are so fake. His agility allows him to turn defenders back. He moves very well in tight spaces
Value for money: 500k for this guy is an incredible bargain, thinking i paid 800k for him in fifa 19 and 670k in fifa 20. He gave me my second Gold II in WL

Pace: His pace is a little bit low, he only wins in speed when he has already won the position.
Pass: His first touch is amazing, but long passes are definetely a con.
Dribbling: Sometimes you might feel him a little bit clunky with the ball

Van Goaten

Hello guys, i asked you in the comments if you wanted me to review this bad boy and it seems you would like that so here we go. Marco Van Basten is probably one of the best (if not the best) strikers to ever grace the football pitch. When i opened my baby icon pack back in FIFA 20, i saw a Netherlands flag and i was over the moon because i thought i had got the main man Cruyff. But i didnt...

THE BEST STRIKER OF ALL TIME

ok so, im a casual player, i play div4 and gold2 in wl. My favourite striker of all time is mvb, i dont care about all the drama around him, for me he's the best. So when i got enoughh to get him i had to buy that card. I applied hunter in a 4-1-2-1-2 narrow and tbh i didnt expect much from him as he isnt meta. BUt trust me, i was surprised. 10 games, 14 goals, 9 assists. The goat. It...

A decent card

Packed him from base icon pack a while ago. Overall, I think he is a decent card. Pace is not bad, but I recommend improving it with a hunter or engine. The shooting is just sublime - he has an absolute rocket of a right foot, the four star weak foot also makes the shooting even more excellent. His strength and jumping stats are fairly good as well. My main complaint is regarding his balance. Despite havin...
