89 - Icon
5.0
Finally useable and cracked!
By SundayLeague97, 29-10-2021

Like every FIFA my first Icon I am going to buy is my all time favourite player Paul Scholes.

To be honest in the previous FIFAs he wasnt useable in top tier divisions / competitive gaming cause of low pace.

BUT in this years FIFA he is not just useable - he is cracked!


Position: RCM (4321 / 424) box to box player with balanced instructions and stay on the edge of the box for crosses

Chem style: Engine

Division I‘ve used him: 2 and 1 (currently)


Review:


  • Passing:

As reliable passing is that crucial in this FIFA, his absolutely perfect passing is outstanding. Every pass hits the target with both feet.

If you switch the play or press R1 or do long passes you‘ll feel his class.


  • Dribbing:

He feels kinda smooth cause of his height and high balance and exceptional ball control (engine boosts it even more) but sometime he loses the ball if you wanna turn to quick. You can compare his dribbling ability with Kante.


  • Shooting/Attacking:

Well haha… If you want to score outstanding screamers, Scholes will deliver them. Learn how to do timed finishing and every green outside the box shot will go in the net.

But whats super special and what you don‘t get out of any gold CM is his offensive positioning and hard work. He always runs in spaces either to shoot or to pass deadly to you strikers. So don‘t put him on stay back it will destroy his best impact.


  • Defending:

Solid if you defend manual. Of course his defensive awareness is bad but you don‘t need it if you have a classic CDM who stays back all time.

Don‘t put shadow on him cause it won‘t improve it. He will intercept many passes of your opponent but in 1 on 1 situations he isn‘t great.


  • Pace:

Thats the big difference to the previous FIFAs as every CM/CDM was unusable below 80 pace. Now as something around 75 pace is more than enough Scholes‘ pace won‘t let you down.


  • Physicality / Presence / Stamina:

Outstanding for his height. He is everywhere on the pitch and all day long. He is able to shield every ball if you hit L2.


Summed up:

You can buy an outstanding box to box Icon for just 250k.

He will improve your build up and link up play massively and you can score easy screamers.
