96 - Icon
So i somehow mannaged to pack this ridiculous player in an untradeable 25k pack from a winter wildcard SBC (https://youtu.be/R-ZMDHWdrLQ). (Yes i know crazy lucky). As you can imagine, the 15 million beast went straight into the team as well. Now to the review.
At first i did not know what chem style to use on him, so i have tested both hawk and engine. I liked him a little better on hawk, because his shooting, pace and physical become untouchable. He glides past defenders with ease, and even when i use him poorly he still somehow struggles to loose the ball. I played him either as a solo striker in a 4231, or as the left sided striker in either 4222, or 352. His five star weakfoot and skills are also a massive plus, and as you can imagine he does not often miss. His shooting is absolutely crazy. He can bang them in from far, finesse one in the top corner from anywhere or just slot it in 1v1 on goal. He is also always in the right position for a tap in, to make the final pass or just to get the attack started. He is the best player i have ever played with by FAR. And if there is any way to get a hold of one of his 5* 5* cards, you wont regret it.
There are so many pros with this card, everything he does and touches turns into a goal.
Pace
Shooting
Dribbling
Passing
posistioning
Impossible to get
R9 is by far the best striker in the game, the way he performs the skills and the speed at which he does it is insane, and the body type allows for him to do the skills without being knocked off the ball. His agility and balance feel like 95+ he is crazy good this year. With that being said, IF mbappe will provide you the same output, but the way R9 does it is miles ahead on any striker in this game.
Super strong on the ball
5*5* is always a massive trait for strikers
Shooting is the best in the game, get him to a angle and he will score
Free kicks are also top tier
Very expensive
Not on the market
In bad ping he can feel slugish
the workrates can be a issue if he is in a one ST formation
I got Wright from my Icon Pack with 8 tokens... I put him into the Icon PP and got him, I screamed so loud, trust me. I used him in Div 4 ( I dont play that long) and WL. I thought he would be the best, his shooting and pace on the card... 98 finishing, nice, but thats a lie. He often does not even hit the goal, when I shoot, even if he is in a 1v1 with the keeper.
I dont have any, maybe I have to play more games with him.
-Stamina
-Shooting sometimes
-Price (I would either buy Pele instead of him)
