Player Review
89 - Icon
I like to use icons because some are fun to use and look at in game. I play at least 20 games with the icon to feel the player out and make an honest opinion on the player. I play in Division 2 or higher.
I packed Ian Rush out of my mid icon pack and was pretty bummed out after my friend packs Pele. I knew my icon looked way sexier than Pele with his great mustache but in game, Ian Rush absolutely changed my Fifa experience. (In a good way)
I usually do not laugh while playing FIFA as I am always raging at something but let me tell you, playing with Ian Rush was one of the funniest experiences I have ever had. I am undoubtedly sure he is the worst attacking icon I have used this FIFA, and trust me I have used many.
Rush was tripping over himself when dribbling, hitting little girls in the stands when taking long shots, whiffing the ball for open goals, and eating grass when getting anywhere near Kimpembe. I could not believe some of the things I was seeing. A card with 90 shot should be able to at least finish a one-on-one but Rush? - He'll score when he feels like it. And When he felt like it, I would always run to the camera to see his shining mustache because that is the only thing that was good about him.
I hope I did not get anyone's hopes up when saying you'd have a great experience with Rush because I am truly sorry if you packed him in an icon pack. I deem this card to be unusable in any sense. He should not even be used for fodder. I quick sold him after 20 games.
I tried him in both a one striker and a two striker formation, not good in either. Only scored one-on-ones when he felt like it.
Good luck playing this card against Kimpembe; he will eat you alive.
