93 - Icon
Not that bad of a card ngl. I think people naturally think icons like van basten are bad bc of the 3* sm, balance and what not but with an engine he isn't that bad really. I enjoy using him even though it was painful getting him from the icon pack. But I do think he is a solid card. Shooting is obviously insane, Dribbling is alright, pace is meh and passing is better than expected. Just can be a bit big ingame (H&A+).

At first, I like tall Players which have some pace. Before I played van Basten, I tried Drogba Baby and Kluivert Prime. Both of them had 4 Star Skills and are quicker but they had some trouble with finishing and the ball control was some times really bad.
Now you know I have a bit of experience.
- A bit obvious but shooting. Most times very clinical but not 100%. This is normal but if you buy a player with 97 finishing you expect more than a Rashford.
- Dribbling: Very good Ball controll, fast turns and not as clunky as one might think.
- Headings: quite solid, win nearly every header after goal kicks or long balls
- Also obvious pace. Its just one con but pace is the most important stat. If you think he will outpace cb with his sprintspeed. Forget it. He is a support player. You cant do quick steps and surprise the opponent.
