89 - Icon
5.0
Johan Cruyff #14
By milan1klas, 17-11-2021

Overall

Johan Cruyff, one of the best players, the world has ever had, and only a 89 rated baby icon card, what a disgrace from EA, but that doesn't change the fact, that this might be the best card in the game, there is a reason why this card is coming in at 2.9million coins right now, he has the pace, the shooting, the dribbling, almost everything you need from a striker, and not to mention the 5*5* which really helps this card out even more.


Gameplay

You can do whatever you want with Johan, as long as you have a normal working controller, he will do the rest for you, believe me. His runs going forward are absolute insane, you know that feeling when your 2-2 against your opponent in the WL, its the 120th minute and there is only one more attack in the game before you go in to penalties, the counter is yours, its a 2v2 vs the GK, with 2 of your attackers, against probably Kimpembe and Varane from the opponent, but your attackers decide to stand still on the halfway line? Well... with Cruyff its a different story, he knows where he has to run, he has eyes in the back of his head, he knows where the space is, etc. Its the 120th minute, you pass the ball to Cruyff, its a 1v1 vs the GK, but at that point, before even hitting the ball, you can already celebrate, cause he isn't gonna miss.

Division Rivals = Division 2 (ended in Elite Division last season)

Chem Style = Hawk


At first, I used him in the 'Numbers Up' friendly gamemode to unlock Bergwijn, it was his loan, because I needed Bergwijn on my bench asap. Also, at that point I had 2.8mil on my account so I couldn't afford Cruyff yet, after packing Ter Stegen his new special card, I finally had enough coins to buy Cruyff his baby card, so all the games I played with this brought version, are in Div Rivals, but in the gameplay, you see me use Cruyff his loan card in the friendly gamemode to unlock Bergwijn, where I did score 2 bangers, so make sure to watch the gameplay as well.


Starting Formation (4321)

I started using Gulacsi IF in net, Cuadrado, De Ligt, Gvardiol IF and Davies in the defense, in the midfield I had Cruyff, Llorente and Nkunku IF, and to fill it up, Okocha as my RF, Carrasco as my LF, with Fellaini in the ST position, everyone on full chem, except for Nkunku who is playing on 8 chem.


Ingame Formation (3412)

since I only had 2 defenders, but really wanted to try out the 3412 formation, I had to drop a midfielder / fullback in to CB, so I decided that Fellaini was the one who will be playing in CB for me, PS: he is a beast, surrounding him with my other 2 CB's: De Ligt and Gvardiol, in LM I had Davies, in RM, Cuadrado, my 2 CDM's/ CM's were Llorente with Nkunku, Okocha playing in CAM, with Carrasco as my right striker, and Cruyff as my left striker.

Text

The text might be absolutely normal for y'all, but at the moment of writing this review, its a complete pink background, So if it is, then my excuses, but I can't seem to fix it anymore :)


  • Pace (he feels really fast, especially the first 70/80minutes)
  • Shooting (with the hawk chem style, he has nearly maxed out shooting, and you can feel that on the pitch)
  • Passing (In the gameplay you will see me give a lot of key passes with Johan, its incredible)
  • Work Rates (High/Low is perfect for a striker)
  • 5*5*
  • Icon Links
  • Finesse Shots (I did manage to hit some bangers without even green timing it sometimes)
  • Chip Shots
  • Dribbling
  • Agility
  • Flair Trait
  • Positioning
  • Attacking Runs
  • Lean Body Type




  • Stamina (The main issue of this card, 79 seems fair, but on the pitch you really notice his stamina after the first 70/75 minutes of the game)
  • Strength (Even with the hawk chem style, he sometimes feels pretty weak on the ball)
  • Heading
  • Balance (You won't really notice it because of the 95 agility, but I still had to mention it)

Johan Cruyff

So I packed him from the Base Icon Pack and I just had to use himI used his 95 Moments last year and he feels just as good as his momentsThe way he lines up in the attack is completely perfect and I don't think he ever got caught off-side while playingShooting is just masterpiece, no matter if it's his right or left, outside the box or a really sharp angle, this guy almost never missesHis passing...

Weak Skilly Cruyff

I pay him 2.5M on PCMy review is gonna be very short, u know all the cruyff quality : shooting, skills, etcBut i have a really big problem with him ( i play him ST in 4231) he's so weak against defenders and midlfielders it's insane, they take the ball to cruyff realy simple. I try a lot of stricker this year like benzema POTM, CR7, Mbappe, Benzema flashback, he's good yes but worth the 2...
