92 - Icon Moments

4.5

THE FLYING DUTCHMAN

By pokeopolis, 13-03-2022

What a player! Couldn't believe I packed this guy in the Mid/Prime Icon Player Pick. With his moments card, Van Persie gets a SIGNIFICANT dribbling boost which helps this card IMMENSELY! His shooting stats are pretty much perfect and with his High/Low work rate, he can get inside the box at the perfect time. Now, he is 6'2" so even with a dribbling boost and Engine chem style boosting the balance, he can still feel clunky on the ball. However, this wasn't much of an issue when I used him. As long as you know how to left stick dribble, he will do fine when moving around and into the box for the goal. He is currently extinct on the market at 1.2 million but honestly I could see him settling at 1.2 or 1.5 million coins after the price update. Definitely a physical type striker for sure, but if you like Van Persie and know how to play with bulky strikers (Lukaku, Haaland, Banza), you will enjoy this card.

Robinnnn vaaan Peeersieeeee

I've packed him from one of my Weekend League packs. First thing i thought: Sell. But in the start of the season I've tried is baby-icon and was pretty impressed, so I thought: Let's give it a go.No regrets. He feels strong. Has a good pace, is in the right place at the right time and the finishing is absolutely phenomenal. I used to play 4-4-2 in general, but this new one I changed it to a 4-1-2-1-...

Mister targetman

In Champs I normally get rank V/IV. I still needed a complete target man, and RVP is an excellent choice for that task. In combination with the hawk chem style, he is an excellent finisher within the box, who in the fifty games I played with him also managed to score headers very regularly, (love the power header trait on this card). I don't really play on pace or through balls, so RVP his pace was not really concerning for...

Sadly huge disappointment :(

RVP has always been one of my favourite players irl and as soon as i saw his sbc,i knew i had to get him. Even before doing the sbc,I expected him to feel slightly heavy and I knew he wont be as agile as top tier strikers such as Mbappe,Neymar etc..After few games I sadly had to bench him. This card felt just way too clunky which makes his pros (shooting) pretty unusable,his stats feel just...
