Ibrahimovic - A Timeless Classic
By CJennett, 23-09-2021

After using him for about 600 games last year, of course he was the first card I was going to get this year.


He only cost me 1.6k, has 5* skills and can finish his dinner (Which at this stage of the game is severely underrated).


His record for me so far is 10 matches 24 goals (These are all in rivals, admittedly I did play at 2200 skill rating last year).




Overall, he's very good as a solo striker, I wouldn't suggest using another faster striker along-side him as he can finish on both feet and is fantastic in the centre to hold play up or meet a cross.

4411, 4231, 433, these all work a treat with Zlatan. The goalkeepers have been ridiculous so far, but he still keeps scoring absolute bangers.


For 1.6k this guy is a GEM.

Shooting: Need I say anymore? He of course has incredible shooting stats, but this card is reliable. If you're able to get him facing towards goal, use a brief skill move to get half a yard and just hit it, goal.


Passing: He actually does Ibra acrobatics in the game now?!? I did a fancy pass and he did some sort of mid-air extended back-heel flick which lead to a goal, that sort of thing is why he's my favourite player. To do it in game is SO satisfying.


Dribbling: Now he's of course not the most agile or well balanced of chaps, but once you get the ball with him his first touch is brilliant and you can just take the defender out of the game with one well placed eft stick dribble. Of course having 5* skills is huge, use any skill you want, he won't care, he'll just do it for you.


Physical: this guy is a MONSTER. He bullies literally everyone! Makes it so much easier to keep the ball with him and hold up play for your midfield to pull forward. In the air he's mostly dominant, you'll see inconsistency against someone like VVD but for the most part wins every header.



Pace: Now of course this is a con in comparison to other players, but you really shouldn't be trying to break through the back-line with this card. Play to his strengths and the pace is irrelevant. But he is slow.


Dribbling: Agility and Balance can be inconsistent, he may just fall over for some reason and piss you off.


Stamina: Not fantastic, play him to stay forward with conservative interceptions - I can get 90 out of him but he's at about 15-20% fitness..

THE LION- Ibra Review

I was casually opening promo packs and then suddenly I got a wildcard. I was expecting somebody like Florenzi or Taremi but no. This God pops up. I decided to give him a go and its safe to say that he plays beyond his stats. He scores every shot and with the 5* skills, he cannot be tackled. Him being 6'5 also helps a lot because he wins every header against your physical defenders such as Van Dijk, Varane, Kimpembe, Marquin...

Zlatan (flashback ibra)

So to start with before i say anything i think everyone will agree with me when i say 3.2 million coins is disappointing for zlatan. Not because of the stats just due to the fact that i know so many people (Me included) love this guy as a player and loved his classic FIFA 19 card and the hefty price tag means that only people with a lot of hours or packluck can afford him. I am an elite division 2200SR pla...

Ibra the Beast

He's probably the best striker in the game. He's fast, pushes all opponents over, has an unbelievable header game, overview like Toni Kroos and has an unbelievable conclusion. Every shot is a torpedo. This guy is insane.
