88 - Icon
4.5
Bald beauty.
By Amecii, 03-11-2021

Great card honestly. Play him in a 4-2-3-1 as cdm/cm and he wins the ball so much. Going forward his passing is great, doesn't feel to clunky and can move up with the ball. Although I'm personally not shooting with him, his long shots find the back of the net often, and finishes most chances he gets. Can realistically play anywhere in the midfield, but I wouldn't recommend using him as a lone dm because his defense is great, but he can push the ball up, so I feel as though it would be a waste. I really don't have anything negative to say, the only negative I can comment on is his dribbling, but he's not a forward where it matters, and it isn't even bad.


This card is great and can do it all in my opinion, and 300k for him (current market price) is a steal.

I packed Veron mid from a random 100k pack untradeble. It´s my first ever packed icon (if you don´t count icon packs) so i thought, why not try him?. Nothing special when you just look at the card but i gave it a chance and i don´t regret it. He is such a beast at the midfield and i recommend you to play him att defensive mid in a 4231. He is very tall and big with decent pace, but if you put a shadow on him his pace won´t let you down. A downside is his agility but it doesn´t really matter when is used as at tank at midfield, same with the pace. He can also join you in attack with some really nice shooting (especially the finesse shots). His passing is also just amazing with a 4 wf aswell.


Veron reminds of players like Goretzka, Llorente and kessie (rulebreaker) and i would say he is better than all of them. I prefer to play him next to a shorter and more agile midfielder. For example Kanté, De jong Renato sanches and Barella. I play him along the new winter wildcard Etebo in both 4231 and 352 and they just work perfectly. I´m playing him in the elite division and i usually finish 18-2 in WL so he definitely works on the higher levels too. Last but not least, he is super cheap, only 140k on xbox right now and i can´t understand how.


So i would definitely recommend you guys to try this card out because he will not let you down.

His price (140k right now on xbox), he is a bargain

Can feel a bit clunky sometimes

Quality all round midfielder
By EdBennett, 22-02-2022

Used as a CDM, functioning as a deep-lying playmaker, he makes for a quality all-round midfielder with very few weaknesses for the price.


Pace

Pace on shadow is perfectly fine; He's certainly not fast but it's not a weakness either. Good enough for a CM/CDM.

Shooting

Shooting feels like it's at least 90, without a boost at all. Was pretty surprised by this since I bought him to play a more defensive role, but his shots in and out of the box have ridiculous power and never miss

Dribbling

Pretty clunky and rigid feeling, but not unusable. Personally don't really find this a problem as his passing and ball winning is so good, but it may bother some.

Passing

Top notch passing- never misplaces a pass, making him very effective in any midfield role.

Defending

Surprisingly really good. You're never going to get Maldini-like tackles off a player with 84 defending (on Shadow), but he wins most 1-on-1s and his interceptions are top notch. His heading is pretty poor, though.

Physical

Strength feels a lot higher than 80 which I think is a real asset in this game, and his 89 aggression really helps contribute to his defensive ability and tenacity when winning the ball back. Although 84 stamina is far from ideal for a CM, I usually find it enough to see the whole game out due to his Med/Med workrates.


Overall

Overall, if you need the links of an icon like I do, then he's definitely the best Icon CM/CDM available for the price (100k & under). While he's not a flashy player who'll singlehandedly win you games, he'll never feel bad to use no matter what team he's in. A real all-rounder, he can defend well, distribute the ball like Pirlo and his shooting is absolutely lethal. Only real downside to him is his dribbling is very clunky, though I've not actually found this to be a problem since you just learn to use him differently. Overall, I'd definitely recommend giving him a shot- literally.

Very good for the price

Shooting is sublime

Passes never miss

Great at winning the ball back

Good positional player both offensively and defensively

Very physical

Dribbling is clunky, though not unusable

Juan Sebastian Veron Player Review-AIFIFA
By AIFIFA, 12-02-2022

I packed Veron in the mid icon upgrade pack. I wasn't fascinated with him at first as his stats weren't the best, however after using him, I was surprised. He is quick enough after you put a shadow on him and is a brick as a CDM. His outside shooting and free kicks are also really good. He can produce THAT goal at any moment when he has control of the ball. He is just a beast as a set-piece taker on any side. He is decent in transition and is really good when you're playing the ball forward, whether you're building up or looking to counterattack. He is always dictating my midfield alongside a more pacey CDM. Overall, I have to say I'm quite impressed with this card and it is usable enough for you to keep in your starting XI.

Great at breaking attacks

Amazing set-piece taker

Decent in transition

Great passing through the lines

Nice dribbler

Not too quick

Low agility and jumping
