The Best Striker I've Ever Used
By MajorLeeEvil, 05-11-2020

What words do I have to describe this man? He's literally unbelievable. I packed him on the second week of divison rival rewards as untradeable, and I can tell you that I'm never going to get rid of this card. He's incredible, and I've never used a card like him. If you shoot across goal, it's going to be a goal every time. He is the best striker on this game at the moment, hands down. The goal record he has includes NO SINGLE PLAYER GAMES. All of my games have been online in rivals and weekend league.

  • Shooting (Shoot across goal with what can only be described as a 'whomp cannon' of a left foot, and it'll definitely be a goal)
  • Dribbling - This man can dribble through Trafalgar square traffic with one foot
  • Pace - Slap a hunter card on him and he chases down everything, winning it the majority of the time. Continuing taking big touches with him and he's like usain bolt racing your grandma in her wheel chair, except she makes it look like your grandma has one wheel and one arm to push her
  • Strength - Surprisingly better than I was expecting. Does shrug off defenders from time to time
  • Passing - He has 85 passing and has good short passing as well as long passing. Used in a partnership with Mertens, the 'one, two's' he plays with strikers and wingbacks are very good. Additionally, with the wing backs over lapping, he does put a good through ball pass to the attacker.
  • Weak Foot (3* but doesn't really matter in this game to be honest)

stoichy
By YioryisOnline, 02-01-2021

the reason I am writing a review is because i need to spread the word. i am a very lazy person so i will keep this short and sweet. i am a regular gold 1 player (sometimes elite3 sometimes gold2)

this weekend i started with a record of 6 wins and 7 L's i was using an untradeable team because of toty market drop i had gone liquid and i knew i needed help from a special player to get back on track. i got butra, he didnt work i then thought to myself that stoich last year was cracked for me and i bought baby stoich and he was cracked at the st position. i started winning after i got him, i managed to pull it back and got gold 2, he ended with 14 games played 23 goals and 13 assists in a two striker formation with mbappe.

finishing

dribbling (feels responsive, not like mbappe obviously)

physical, very hard to dispossess

pace (with hunter)

finesse shots

positioning was veryy high IQ

work rates didn't affect him

3* wf (in the sense that it felt like a 4*)

passing ( very underrated stat for strikers)

volleys were beautiful

fantastic coin value

Versatile (could use CAM and even apply engine for dribbling especially if using mid stoich)


stamina starts lacking around the 80th

doesn't have finesse shot trait or outside foot shot

lacks 4* wf or 5* skills

not too many negatives but could use an improvement dribbling to make him super responive

Excellent card
By JediPurpleSquirrel31, 01-03-2021

I was over the moon when I opened my base or mid icon pack and saw the Bulgarian flag flash up on my screen. Stoichkov has been an excellent player for my team ever since I first packed him. His card has very good pace, shooting and dribbling - the left foot is particularly insane. He also has good passing for a striker. Free kick accuracy, curve and penalties are brilliant, making him excellent for taking set pieces.


For me, there isn't much wrong with this card. The only issues are the low strength and the three star weak foot. Even still, shooting on his weak foot at close range will still sometimes get you a goal, it is just shooting outside of the box with his right foot is bad.


Overall, i would highly recommend this card. Very fast and agile with excellent shooting and surprisingly decent passing. Base Stoichkov is by far the best value icon under 500K coins.

. Excellent pace, shooting and dribbling

. Decent passing

. Four star skills

. Excellent at taking set pieces

. Three star weak foot

. Low-ish strength means he does get bodied

Not Worth Using
By tport7, 11-01-2021

I pulled this guy from the base icon pack in swaps. It honestly could have been a lot worse but still could have been better. His face stats look insane and his in game stats are also really solid. But the card is absolutely ruined by the 3* weak foot and the medium/medium work rates. If you are able to get the ball onto his left foo (strong foot)t a little outside of the penalty spot he's usually able to whip it in, but in 1v1 situations with the keeper he's garbage on both feet. It's shocking how many chances he's blown and kicked straight at the GK. Im a gold 2 for champs and div 4 rivals player, but he cant finish on anyone rated higher than 82. His weak foot also affects his passing a ton. I don't trust him to play through balls to anyone. I put him in for 88 Haaland who was an absolute monster. Stoichkov is alongside neymar and sancho and 88 gnabry in attack.

If you can get the ball onto his left foot in a not 1v1 situation he may score. With a hunter he can show a decent burst of pace on occasion. Thats literally it.

77 strength but gets bodied by every player on the pitch. His dribbling is not great but not terrible. Passing is average and gets worse on the weak foot. 1v1 finishing is terrible. Misses easy headers all the time and loses arial duels. The medium/medium work rates make him a pretty small presence on the pitch.
