Player Review

To start this review off, I wanted to let you guys know that i packed him in the 92+ Prime/Moments Icon pack. Yes, I was one of very few non-content creators who did this ridiculously expensive SBC, but because I had saved a lot of fodder the last weeks, I wanted to give it a try. Thankfully, I got lucky in this pack, unlike my many other non-successful icon packs, but enough time wasting, let's start looking at this amazing card and player!

First of all I want to mention that I use him with an engine, and that I play a 4-2-2-2, with him and Messi TOTY up top. I then have Eusebio and Vinicius Jr. on the wide CAM's who both can provide an amazing cross into the box where Cantona usually appears. That's the first pro of many, his heading is literally outstanding. When coming up against shorter CB's than him, such as Cannavaro, and Cordoba, but also CB's his size, this man destroys everyone. His movement leading up to his enormous leap is outstanding, and with the Power Header trait he smashes the ball into the net 8/10 times with his extreme power.

Moving on to the shooting, his biggest pro by a country mile. This guy could destroy the net, if FIFA was realistic, with both his feet. Even though FIFA states that he has a 4* week foot, I find this completely inaccurate. My first goal with this guy was with his left foot, a shot i wouldn't even count on Eusebio to score with any of his feet, ended up in far side-netting, which lead me into a state of shock. Wow, was this the type of shots i could expect to go in? Oh, i was in for a treat. His right footed shots are even more impressive, and along with his outside the foot shot trait, he can shoot the craziest curve shots from anywhere. Although he doesn't have a finesse-shot trait, he still scores the same finesses as my TOTY Messi. His volleys, which he might be most known by (along with his aggression), are also crazy. If you want to get a good taste on his volleys, check out Schmeltz's video on him on YouTube. You'll be in for a treat ;)

His pace is also good, and he often sprints past the crazy fast CB's of this game. He's no Vinicius Jr. or Mbappe, but he is still someone to rely on when it comes to through balls.

His passing is also outstanding and he can both provide good crosses, short and fast passes, aswell as over-the-top through balls.

The dribbling can simply not be matched. Yes, he's not the most agile player in the game, and he's a tall and strong player. His ball control and balance have to be the most impressive with this card. I found myself several times trying to out-run the CB, and then easily pushing the CB off balance, leading to a 1v1 against the keeper. The 5* skills are also an amazing addition, as it lets you to the craziest flick up's and skills.

Last but not least, his physical stats are, along with every other stat, amazing. He can run the whole 90+ minutes, jump over any CB, and push off any player in the game. His aggression is also very noticeable, as he can often win duels where the opponent has the ball, even though his defending is quite bad.
