Player Review

Where do I even start? I've completed the SBC the same day it came out just with the fodder my club was full of. I remember using Stoichkov last year and he was alright but not a very memorable player in my team. However in December I was looking for a good all-around forward to pair with the WC Morientes (Yes I absolutely love using a lengthy target man this year) and this Stoichkov SBC came in handy.

209 goals and 115 assists in 300 games. Yes you read it right, the man is an absolute beast and will be great for the next 3/4 months. I am a Div 1/ Elite Div player with 12/13 WL wins in average, not a top player, not a meta user and not a skiller. Stoichkov is that guy who will have influence every game, score assist or just be very efficient. His body type makes him not the most agile player however the technical dribbler trait gives him the ability to dribble very well in tough situations. His pace is maxed (with the Hunter), his shooting is insane and what's really great is he got great passing. He even scores free kicks without a problem, literally no major weaknesses for this guy.

You thought that's it, that's the review? Well I thought so too, until I let him play as a Left midfielder/Winger with a free role... Man bloomed with new colors! Scoring hattricks every other game, having a lot more space to do his magic and runs than in the central attacking areas. The change was kind of forced due to the arrival of my idol Steven Gerrard (check out my review on him) to my team and as a preparation for getting the baby Pele version.

My verdict is Stoichkov is a must complete if you have a decent amount of fodder in your team (Hurry up, the SBC expires on the 10th of January). If your club is empty but you've got the coins - go for Prime Stoichkov version which might be even better than this one for just slightly more coins. Now we only need to hope EA will soon fix the random WC icons faces in-game and stoichkov will stop looking like a random pro clubs player.
