Josip Ilicic - Cheap beast!!!
By Ruxter88hotmail, 26-02-2022

My first review!


Josip Ilicic is another quality addition to the many cheaper Serie A attackers we have in the game. Even though he has potential for an upgrade as a live card, this card as it is now is pretty special. At 6’3 with a high and average+ body type, he’s not built in the same mold as the dainty little meta attackers that this game favors. With that being said he’s got so so much to offer. He combines top shooting stats with the finesse and outside foot shot traits, making him absolutely lethal inside and outside the box with finesse and power strikes, even with a chemstyle that doesn’t boost his shooting. I’m usually a stickler for a H/M or H/L work rates in my CAMs, but his M/M work rates and attacking runs are perfectly fine with 90 base attack positioning. His passing is largely excellent, and while the 82 long passing could be a bit higher, I didn’t have any problems with it in game. The pace is nothing special obviously, and with the high and average+ body type, he can feel a bit slower, but his agility stats are excellent. Additionally, 85 pace is more than enough considering this is a card you should use in the CAM position. The body type combined with his 84 strength and boosted dribbling, agility, and balance on the engine chemstyle made him very sticky with the ball, and with 5 star skill moves, he has the finesse to wriggle out of situations that most players with his size and body type wouldn’t. I would not say he felt heavy, but if you’re dribbling with this card you need to understand that you’re dribbling with a 6’3 player. If you can take that into account and adjust your play style, his RS dribbling combined with the skill moves made him a very mobile creative option. Personally, I don’t have any issues with the stamina although I know it’s low. He’s definitely exhausted at the end of 120 minutes of FUT champions but still playable on low stamina. Currently priced at 39K with a chance at a +1 and maybe more if Atalanta can beat Leverkusen (they’ve got a decent chance), Ilicic offers excellent value for your coins if you’re looking for something a little different at CAM in your Serie A setup.

Incredible value !!!!!!

Josip Ilicic is simply incredible to say the very least. The 5* skill moves boost paired with his tall frame means that he can easily scoop turn defenders and get a shot away and with this mans shooting you simply cannot miss!

The Slovenian Ronaldo.

Well, this had to be the player that finally made me write a review on here. I've used his totw card for months now and he has been by far my favorite card this year. This card is just more of the same, 27 games in div 1 and fut champs has sufficiently proved that this card is probably the most undervalued card on the market. It seems like every game he's scoring a 30 yard belter, or skilling past 4-5 defenders and slotting...

BUILT DIFFERENT!!

I was looking for a partner for my Zlatan and I noticed that Ilicic got upgraded to 5 star skills thus I decided to try him out. He is freaking out of this world. The dribbling, especially L1 dribbling, best I have used, the shooting absolutely broken, whether it be weak foot, finesse or power shot, it just hits the back of the net. The perfect chemistry style is the marksman as opposed to the finisher (30+ games on each) d...
