Player Review

95 - Icon

5.0

EL PIBE DE ORO

By RuThiX36, 23-02-2022

To put things into perspective, I am an elite player but rather than sweat every single game, I prefer to simply have fun in the game. It means that I like testing out different players and playstyles and in my reviews I always try my best to honour every single player, especially icons.

That being said, think of this more as a player tribute than a player review.

We all love a good promo card but this Maradona card right here is just on a whole different level.

Ball control and dribbling are some of the best in the entire game, and rightfully so. Maradona was one of a kind magician and luckily his card represents that in the game.

I played him central CAM with "free roam" in 4-2-3-1 or as a left striker with "false 9" instruction in 4-2-2-2. In both cases I used hunter chem style and also "stay forward" and "conservative interceptions" instructions due to his lower 75 stamina. You simply do not want to deplete his limited physical fund elsewhere but in attack because that is where he shines most.

Some of you might be wary of 3 star weak foot but I am convinced his high shooting and passing stats make up for it, since for me he distributed passes and scored flawlessly with his right foot as well.

"A picture is worth a thousand words." In this particular case it is an absolutely fitting adage since some of the stuff he did for me on the pitch is indescribably good and simply needs to be seen. Therefore I compiled a short video with highlights and you will find it attached to the review as always.

If you managed to pack this card from mid icon player picks or other icon upgrades, congratulations. You are in for a treat. Otherwise this card is still sporting a rather hefty price tag of around 1.5 mil - but nonetheless is worth every penny.

I packed Diego Maradona out of a mid icon SBC some time ago. Right now I have played 176 games with him. So I thought the time was right for a review on him! I'll first start of with the positives and then talk about the negatives. But I can spoil to you already that the latter is outmatched.I use him as a LCAM. This because shooting to the opposite side of the goal is very effective and he would have his ...

Diego Maradona

I expected more...

So i´ve packed Maradona in the Mid Icon upgrade and thought I packed one of the best players in the game. So I put him in my team and played the first games straight away with him as ST beacause i hate it to play with a CAM. Before I played Maradona, I played Butragueno and Di Natale and now use them as a comparison. So the first problem are the 3* WF and ingame he is not that fast that he can "overtake" the CB like Kimpem...
