91 - Icon Moments
So the other day I had only 120k on my RTG account and one free spot in my starting eleven just up front in 3-5-2 formation. And because I made a resolution to test out each and every Prime Icon Moments card until the end of FIFA 22 (and not just the meta ones, I wanted to cherish and enjoy every single icon) I hurried instantly to the market and bought the cheapest one of them, Filippo Inzaghi. An unsung hero, an undeservedly underrated icon in FIFA.
And this card did not disappoint me, quite the contrary, it pleasantly surprised me. Of course he is not the fastest of attackers (I used engine chemstyle because I prioritized boosting his dribbling, agility and balance rather than his pace), but is very clinical in front of the goal. More than once Inzaghi scored the goal, sealing the victory for me, and prompted my opponent to rage-quit. In highlights video below you will see plenty of such examples.
Of course I surrounded him with some talent up front (FUT Birthday Mkhitaryan. MID ICON Eusébio) but Inzaghi was only slightly below that level performance-wise. He linked up with the rest of my team pretty well. I just advise you to be patient, wait for the gaps and provide accurate passes, Inzaghi will be there to convert them.
My only gripe about this card is that shooting with his left foot seemed to be a bit of an issue and he does not win a lot of headers because of his height (despite having 92 jumping). Also him having only the medium attacking workrate, I occasionally had to wait far too long for him to arrive into the penalty box (but it was noticeable only in counter-attacks).
All in all, if you are feeling cheeky and brave today, go and give Inzaghi a chance, you won't regret it.
