Player Review
89 - Icon
Coming from the Czech Republic, my fellow countryman and childhood hero Pavel Nedvěd is always my primary target when it comes down to player icons in FUT. Every new iteration of FIFA I rush and grind the game to be able to afford his card as soon as possible. This year was no exception and I must say FIFA 22 gameplay fits his playstyle perfectly. It focuses more on the fundamentals of football and Nedvěd with his attacking versatility will make you fall in love again with this simple, yet beautiful game.
Nedvěd's mid icon card is based on his time spent at Lazio and having watched all his goals for that club multiple times I tried to reproduce that excellence to the best of my ability. If I succeeded or not please judge for yourself from the attached highlights.
I used Nedvěd in the 4-2-2-2 as a left striker (bearing in mind his crucial 5-star weak foot) with the "false 9" instruction since I believed he would provide the perfect link between the midfield and attack given his passing mastery. And did he deliver just what I expected him to. He dominated the area in and around the 18-yard box providing pinpoint accurate passes and even scoring bangers with either his left or right foot, holding onto the ball with his decent strength or fighting to win it back utilising his aggression in re-pressing the opponent. He really was the busy bee of my team, relentless in finding the right space and providing me with the passing option constantly with his 91 stamina. Dashing along the sidelines or through the centre, with hunter chem style he will give FBs and CBs a good run for their money.
Already looking forward to his prime and moment versions, this guy was the one I could rely on while climbing the Division Rivals ranks. So big win for you if you have just recently packed him from you icon pack or, if you are planning to purchase him from the market, I encourage you to do so, hoping you will enjoy this card as much as I did. Just stick to the basics, do not overcomplicate things with sharp twists and turns while on the ball, focus more on the positional play and build-up and you are guaranteed to reap the rewards.
Thanks so much for reading.
