92 - Icon Moments

4.5

The longshot monster

By Jonasdreesmann, 31-03-2022

This is my first review as I´m usually to lazy to write something longer, but it just had to be done for this guy. I first bought him back in the days in Fifa 19 and he was the first Icon I ever played with. The following years I included him always in my team, annd as I saw his sbc I just knew that I had to do it. I could use many untrades and paid only 60k. He plays for me as a pure CAM and I also thinks this is the best way to use him. I used the engine chemistry style.

His pace is alright, for a guy with his height he feels pretty fast and sometimes can sprint his way past defenders with the ball. Of course he is not that lightning fast, but also his pace feels real and not slowed down simply because he is a big guy.

Next up is his shooting and oh my....its friggin INSANE. First of all, he is ALWAYS in the right position, it´s simply incredible how he does that. His finishing is quite nice, as you can also simply use both feet, but was is unvelivable are his longshots. They are sooo good and as he plays CAM always a solution. Especially if you are trying desperatly the whole game against the op keepers like Maignan or so, his longshots will finish them. It´s also not only these curved op longshots that every good Icon has, but also his straight shots are flying like a rocket.

His passing is simply class, it´s what you would expect from a guy with 92 passing, its very precise. And it also seems that he has a little unique passing animation which also makes it way nicer.

Now to his dribbling and as you can imagine it´s the thing which is most critical for him. His ball control is insane and with the ball on his foot he is hard to stop. With his 1,92m he is turning quite nice and you really feel his balance boost. But I can imagine if the servers are bad, which will most likely happen from time to time, he will turn worse than a cargo ship. But in general it should be clear from the beginning that he is a very tall guy, for his heigth he turns very well and has a perfect dribbling/ball control, but of course he will never be as glitchy like Neymar or Mbappe.

Defense is not important for him, but as he is that tall he is also quite good in intercepting passes.

His physical abilities are also quite nice, he will bully defenders away from time to time and in general can make his way through the defense. From what I experienced if it goes against op defenders, like Varane flashback, he also has his problems, so he is not a player which is able tear apart defenses just by his presence, like Mbappe. But I also think it´s something you can already imagine. Last but not least, his stamina is very good, like the stats say and he can go easily 90min and beyond.

YOU MY DARLING ARE DIFFERENT GRAVY

If you're on the fence about completing Socrates, let me try to push you over the edge. First, my favorite Socrates quote: "Beauty comes first. Victory is secondary. What matters is Joy." Along with being a doctor, thinker, drinker, and smoker, Socrates was one of the most talented midfielders of the 80s. All while he was playing at his highest level, he was an outspoken activist against the military dictatorship and injust...
