So, this FB sbc concepts are so good, in my opinion, this Icardi is a must-do card. So far he's scored 12 goals and has 7 assist, I used him as a ST in all the matches, that 90 pace, 90 agility, and 88 balance are a big W, despite being 181 cm tall, he is fast, he can easily win races to fast defenders like kimpembe and varane etc
- Insane pace
- tall
- Good shooting stats
- Links
When I saw this card pop up as an SBC it got me feeling some kind of way. Icardi has been essentially unusable in the last two FIFAs, and I feel it is only right to give him a try now that he actually has a usable card. I was able to smack him together with some fodder that I had from the 81x25 and 82x25 Icon Swaps, saving the 82x25 to open at TOTY. So he cost me nothing but fodder and fit right into my squad next to 86 UCL Vini. I smacked an Engine on him, and before he drove off with my wife, we played some games to qualify for next WL.
I was not disappointed in any way whatsoever, his agility on the ball was just what was needed receiving passes from my SIF Tchou, and as I did not expect him to be blazing fast, I was able to take advantage of the 99 Positioning that he has and waited for him to make a break for it before hitting the ball up. His finishing was great, not perfect, but definitely enough to get the job done with the rate that he was getting in alone on goal. I tried him as the starting ST beside Vini in a 41212(2), and also as a super sub coming on in the 60th minute, he was class in both roles.
I did not feel that he was slow with his turns at all (as some have said) maybe this is because I was not expecting that with his agility being 85 (with the engine) however his balance was absolutely insane for me, and it was very rare that he got knocked off the ball once he was in the box. His dribbling, ball control, reactions and composure all made for an absolutely magnificent on ball experience, and had me making defenders looking foolish in the box, despite the fact that he only has 4 star skills.
The one thing that I did notice was that his finesse shots were a bit lacking for me, pretty good with the right foot inside the box, but any where outside the box, or with the left, he definitely left a lot to be desired.
Overall I was quite happy with this card for what I had to invest in it, and I would recommend him to anyone that is able to link him into the squad without much issue. Mind you TOTS is coming out soon, and hopefully we can have some good SBCs from that as well, so if you decided to save up fodder for that, I would not blame you as well.

Things weren't going particularly bad for me with WW Daka up front but I felt that I could get something better. And then this Icardi got leaked and I knew this man would be the perfect fit for my playstyle, so I saved the exact amount of fodder to complete him, and I got him for literally free, and I can confirm this is the best striker I've used this year. Playing in game as a striker in a 4-2-3-1 with RTTK Sane RM, mid Best CAM and Fire Claude-Maurice LM, with stay forward, stay central and target man for custom instructions. This man is a beast. With an engine on him it's almost like you don't even notice the 80 agility, and i was very pleasantly surprised with his passing, getting some assists and passing it round very consistently. Now, his best parts are his shooting and strength. His finishing is some of the deadliest I've ever used on any fifa, even with 80 long shots. Anywhere inside the box and on the edge of it, it's going to go in or give the keeper a lot of trouble. His strength is so good, you can hold L2 and literally no one will be able to take it from him. I've had strikers bullied off the ball by defenders, but this guy bullies the defenders out of his way. With 25 games played he scored 28 goals and assisted 13 in elite division and in champs qualifications. As I said, he's an incredible strong player, and with an engine you almost don't feel the 80 agility, but it still might not appeal to people that are more used to very quick and agile players. You can pair him up with a very nimble striker or CAM and he'll work really well.

Agility (fixed with an Engine chem style)
Long Shots (haven't really tried many with him, but I'd stick with shooting from closer with him)
I am currently in div 1 and using him beside if neymar. Icardi is too good. He finishes everything. Feels a little clunky. But because of his strength, he is good against koulibally or sule type cb. His shooting is top tier. It feels like another version of benzema fb. If you are abusing corner glitch , he has 99 jumping and 95 heading accuracy ;) . Even if EA fix the glitch, you can use usual corner to score goals.

Just put an engine chem style and he will be a goal scoring machine.
