86 - Hero

4.5

The agile De Bruyne

By archiec79, 09-10-2022

I said it last year and it is the same again: Aleksandr Mostovoi is the most underrated hero in the game, and he is even better this year with the new chem system. Do not be put off by the pace on this man he is silky smooth on the ball, from the title you can likely tell that I believe Mostovoi's closest comparison is with Kevin De Bruyne. This is because the share the same skills and weak foot and have very similar stats. Now do not get me wrong De Bruyne wipes in terms of passing and shooting but this isn't to say that Mostovoi cannot pass or shot and in fact he can do both very well. As for the other stats they are very similar however Mostovoi is a less static player possessing better dribbling and pace. A drawback to Mostovoi is missing the outside the foot shot trait but with the new manual system it is less of an issue. The biggest difference between Mostovoi and De Bruyne for me is that De Bruyne in my eyes, being a rank 3 fut champs player, is that their prime positions in FIFA are not the same. De Bruyne is better suited CM and Mostvoi CAM. Mostovoi's pace surprises me the most, I don't know if it is hidden hero stats, but he is not slow and feels like a 90-pace player easily (with a hunter/catalyst.) He is also a fantastic dribbler and can really glide through teams and can shoot brilliantly with both feet. Mostovoi also isn't weak, he obviously isn't the strongest of players but can defiantly hold his ground against most opposition. At the time of writing, he is min price at 54.5k on Xbox and PS, so why not give him a go? He will not disappoint brilliant on FIFA 22, brilliant on FIFA 23. I love this man.

Aleksandr Mostovoi

Smart card for smart players

I have started to try it out and it looks like an exceptional card. He's not fast, true, he's not too agile, true, and he's not too strong, true.But his AI is superb, as a central CAM, he always offers himself in passing lanes, either from the CDM or CM, or to bring the ball back from the forwards. His runs are fantastic, his normal shooting is beastly, and his passing is equal or better than Modric.Recommende...

Mostovoi review

First things first. How does he feel? Mostovoi is good on the ball and great for powershots, perfect as a cam. As Im on old gen I dont really feel like pace on a cam matters as much as the last few years. Mostovoi is doing just fine with his 78 pace and 177 cm height, not only that, he feels fast. With great passing he also plays the ball foward perfectly. 4* 5* is also a great bonus coming with the Russian.
