89 - Icon

4.5

Surprising

By Maxiboy55, 27-01-2022

Many of you will be here because you got him in an icon pack. This gentleman popped up out of my mid/prime icon pack, much to my dismay, but after looking at his stats I wasn't too disappointed. He looked promising in a way. And although it may have taken all my coins and fodder to receive him when I could've just gotten him for a sneaky 90k, the adrenaline an icon pack supplies you with is worth it.

I placed him left striker in a 4222 alongside gold mbappe (untradable, I'm not rich). To be honest I was just fascinated to see the moustache but he is so much more than just that. The meta outside foot shot+finesse shot combo comes in handy, and alongside the power header trait he doesn't do too badly. His pace is pretty average, so is the dribbling. I put an engine on him to boost his dribbling (and passing, but it obviously doesn't help too much. Good luck hitting a pass more than 10 metres away). His stamina is just enough to last the full 90 minutes, and strength is alright too. Main thing that surprised me was his shooting. This man made mbappe look like werner. Finesse shots had me squirming around, and get it on his head no questions asked you've got a goal. His heading was incredible. Volleys and shot power were nuts too. Scored some really tight goals where the keepers rushing and he somehow squeezes it under him.

If for some odd reason you didn't get him in your icon pack and are actually looking to buy him (I won't judge) I would say get his prime, although this card is still a steal for 90k. Much better than headliner Laborde who I also love.

3*skills but it isn't a bad thing, always good to have one person up top who isn't a meta rat
Dribbling a tiny bit low, in bad gameplay can feel clunky or slow
Passing is mostly adequate but the occasional shocker really makes you take a step back

Mustache is love. Mustache is life.

I was looking for a striker with okay pace, good shooting and beeing capable of netting some headers, I came along Ian Rush and for a steal about 300k I was like "fck it lets try!". After a WL with Lukaku up front. Ian Rush felt so refreshing! And then the moment came and he scored his first goal: the close up camera revealed his real strength: THE mustache. This was the moment I fell in love with him. Happily he scored a l...

Great Mustache. Everything else? Laughable

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 m...
