85 - Icon

4.5

Makelele

I Picked this guy up for my Real Madrid past and present and for 300k this guy is one of the best budget icons around! His stats dont look to impressive but as you use this card you start to realise why it is so good. Hes such a balanced card and the medium/medium workrates make him perfect for sitting in the middle of the pitch breaking up play and carrying the ball forwards. His 3 Star Weak Foot and 3 star Skill moves combination is not really too much of an issue however sometimes his passing with his left foot can be a bit wayward. This guy feels so quick his 88 acceleration and 85 sprint speed are so important in the middle to track back and also latch onto loose balls. Now the shooting is not the best but its not terrible as he got 2 goals and 3 assist's in 8 games however finishing is a little inconsistent on the right foot and shooting on the left foot is a complete no go. The passing on this guy is brilliant the 86 short pass and 79 long passing combined with his 84 vision just makes his passing fell so consistent. But the thing that stood out to me about this card was this guys dribbling, hes crazy on the ball. This is because his dribbling stats are so high with 88 agility 86 balance and 84 ball control meaning hes so good in tight spaces and the left stick dribbling with this guy is so vital as to why this card is good. Now the defending is pretty good especially his interceptions with that high pace and high agility making it so easy to position him to intercept the ball. The only problem i have is that his stand tackle and slide tackle can feel a little weak but can be fixed with an Anchor or a Shadow chemistry style. The physical for such a small guy really impressed me. The stamina was solid he could go box to box for the full 90 minutes without tiring and the aggression allows him to fight and keep hold of the ball. Overall he is one of the best budget icons that you can

Absolutely Horrendous

Thanks to my marvellous pack luck I managed to snag this baby Makelele from the Swaps pack. For some coins, I sold my TOTGS Nkunku to test this man out for the time being. He played as RCM in a 4-3-1-2 and had to fill quite the spot to be greater than Nkunku.While I wasn’t expecting much from the card with those eye-wrenching st...
