I've really enjoyed using Drogba, he has the best record of any ST that I've used in FUT this year and it's great fun to run riot with one my childhood heroes.

He's strong, clinical with both feet and surprisingly fast for someone of his build & height. His shooting is incredible, shots inside the box fly into the goal and his finesses & power shots from long range are consistent too. He's also a menace in the air and can completely dominate some of the smaller CBs. He is a gamechanger because he's capable of scoring from anywhere.

As with most big players in-game, Drogba's dribbling is a bit of sticky point. His low agility & balance are evident, especially in sluggish gameplay although his physical power means he can walk through some challenges. This is probably stating the obvious, but if you're someone who prefers to use strikers capable of beating defenders using dribbling or skills then I'd steer clear of this card.

Despite the drawbacks with dribbling, Drogba's biggest issue is undoubtedly his price. He's currently 900k on the PS market, I paid just over 1m a couple of weeks ago and I wouldn't be surprised if he continued to drop because there's so many cheaper alternatives available who are just as good.

If you're a Chelsea fan, or someone who enjoys using a target man upfront and have the excess coins spare then I'd highly recommend Drogba as he is a fantastic goal scorer, he's just a little too pricey at the moment.

So, I did the SBC. I love playing with a strong, tall target man. Last Fifa my absolute favorite player was prime moments Kluivert, and I am getting almost the same vibes from this card (except that Kluivert had 5* WF). So far I’ve played 50 games with him, where he has scored 61 goals and 12 assists. So I do believe that I have played him enough to give a fair review.

Firstly, let’s start with the downside. This man’s agility ain’t just a number. I’d say his movement is as flexible as your average refrigerator. Don’t expect the man to pull of the kind of quick turns you’d get from Neymar. Instead, take into account about the time it takes for Saturn to orbit the sun when you want to launch a 360 spin with him.

Now that’s out of the world, let’s get to the good stuff:

Since I previously used the refrigerator metaphor let’s stay on that. Just as moving a refrigerator is at least a two man job, moving Drogba too takes at least two average sized men and a very angry father. The man’s a tank. When he moves with the ball it cannot be taken from him. But whatever you do: do not stop running. Don’t stop to make a quick turn, to show of the new skill your big brother just taught you or whatever. Imagine he’s Forrest Gump on steroids: RUN, RUN, RUN. As long as he is moving forward in a straight line he cannot be stopped. Defenders who try to tackle him are sent to the stands by this force of nature. It’s a shit show.

Now to the best part: his finishing. No matter if he shoots or heads the ball the power of his finishes are just too strong. Goalkeepers with broken wrists are keeping the hospitals busy once again, making them think there’s a new pandemic on their hands. Hands down best finisher I’ve used in this Fifa. Didn’t even know you could score corners in this game before him.

In conclusion, if you like playing with a target man up front then Drogba is you guy. However, if you want a small, agile dribbler then it’s just a disgrace.  

Used him after packing him in my Icon pack, I was kinda happy to pack him cause he was my favorite player. I used him in my 4-5-1 squad woth Zola next to him and he was really good. Scoring headers with this card is as easy as it gets, even shooting from the distance is no problem with this card. What is a problem is his balcance, he plays and moves like a refrigerator. Putting a Engine on him helps a bit but you can still feel his low balance. His stamina though is great, with 89 on his card he can play the entire match without any problems. Overall he is a good card but you should definitley play him next to a fast and agile player.
