88 - Icon
Disclaimer* This is my first review and English isnt my first language so dont be harsh on me.
After I packed Luis Figo out of the base icon pack i was relieved that it wasnt Deco or Rui Costa. After a quick look at his stats i was really happy with him he was 4* 4*, nice pace good enough shooting and really good passing/dribbeling. I used him at right striker in a 442 formations (custom tactics are in the video from RunTheFutmarket). In my first game he already scored 5 bangers in a 5-2 win in division one (skill rating 1920). Right now i have used him for 5 games and i scored 9 goals and gave 1 assist. Btw all my games were played in division 1. Furthermore i want to say i really like his shooting and dribbeling but sometimes his passing is letting me down. Also his workrates arent the best but its good enough that it isnt a major problem.
In the games i played I also noticed Luis Figo is strong on the ball, he even pushed Varane of the ball in some games.
So overall I really like him and I think u should play him as a striker

I recently sold my CR7 because I thought that the market will crash and ended up with about 900k. I was using WIF Caputo as an RM on 442 but after the sale of Ronaldo, he became my left striker alongside 94 Messi. I wanted to buy a player that can pass ( because using 74 passing outside mid was frustrating ). The options for the money I was willing to spend were 91 Baggio, all versions of Pavel and the 88 Figo. In the end, I bought Figo and in the first game I played, I noticed how good his attacking positioning was. He was able to outrun Mendy, Tierney, Berchiche and the thing with him was that he was a lot better physically than expected. His passing was what I expected and his finishing was not bad. The stamina for me was not a problem at all but maybe that's because I do not use any pressure tactics.

Not top tier speed
W or L? That is the question everyones tounge that packed him in the base/mid icon. After seeing the Portugesee nationality your imagination will run wild in the hope of packing a mid Eusabio. Then the CAM postion pops up. Luis Figo is the second best out of the rest although it was only his base. After a sloppy start with only 23 contributions in 30 games he really came to life after moving him into a more central role. His dribling is insane and very rarely misees a pass. With a finnisher his finnishing is sharp and often scores. In my opinion he is streets better than Neymar. And for a similar price i would 100% buy him. He holds his own in div 5 and i highly reccomend in buying him. I would say he's a w out of the icon pack. Using a catalyst makes him rapid too.

I am a gold 1 player and I used him as a central CAM in 4231 narrow. I didn't like the look of the card but I thought it couldn't be bad. He is definitely the worst CAM I've used. He is incredibly bad, every game I subbed him off at half time just because he was terrible. He is very slow on the ball and feels clunky. He managed to score goals but they were only tap-ins and didn't create any. If you can link Neymar just go for him. It is similar price but one of the best. I'll never touch this car again
