Player Review

89 - Icon

5.0

Mans is Hungary for goals.....

By LouSanis, 28-01-2023

I don't know where to even start with this Hungarian 5'9" (or 175 cm for our metric friends) behemoth of a card. As you can see in my squad, no one comes close to the 600k price tag and I was lucky enough to get him in a base icon SBC, so I cannot say for sure if he's worth it compared to other 600k players. What I can say though is the guy is phenomenal for me. He is HIM (aka Himmy Turner, President Himmy Carter, etc.) His best comparison that I could even give is a more ST oriented Winter Wildcard Payet. The stats almost perfectly match up, where Payet has better strength, Puskas has better shooting. They're both compact, quick, and most importantly absolutely devious goal scorers. I've now used this card for 150 games and have no intention of taking him out even after another 250.

First and foremost I will say, I am an average player. I play in Div 2 at the moment and normally win about 13-15 of my FUT champs games. So can I say if he stacks up against the pros? Not at all. But I can say that this is a very well-rounded card that definitely will not lose you any games. 2 words... Game Changer.

Pace: While he is not the "Fastest" option that you can find, his acceleration and agility definitely make him feel like one of the quickest. The Hungarian Sonic the Hedgehog is very shifty and always seems to use his quickness to be exactly where you need him to be at all times. With a Hawk, he gets 97 acceleration and 92 sprint speed, so if pace is your game then maybe a hunter is a little better for you. Either way, this guy is no slow poke.

Shooting: Now this is where the money maker for this card is. His shot is so gosh darn good that I don't even have a hyperbole that justifies its greatness. Power, finesse, driven, volley, I cannot stress enough how little it matters, if the shot is open and from a decent angle that net is getting its S*** rocked. Here are some stats with that ever-so-fun Hawk chemistry style; 96 ATK POS, 98 FIN, 99 Shot POW, 99 Long Shots, and last but not least 89 Volleys. As if his left leg was crafted by MOFO'ing Hephaestus himself, the stats don't lie..... this guy does not disappoint when he catches it clean. As for his right leg.... 3* weak foot definitely leaves a little to be desired, and might even be a deal breaker for a lot of high-level players. Understandable to say the least. I still view him as a viable option right up until the higher echelon of FIFA.

Passing: Ready for some more great things? Good. Cause guess what? He can pass too, ladies and gentlemen. A real jack of all freaking trades. But seriously, every one of his stats in the passing category is basically at 85 give or take. (Pretty decent for one of them ST fellows huh?) So while he's not gonna look like Luka Modric out there, he's not gonna sell you on any passes either. I mean he's a striker.... what else can ya really ask for? Ya greedy Gullit loving jackals.

Dribbling: Alright before I continue absolutely fanboying over this card, I wanna clear one thing up. This guy obviously does not dribble like Neymar, Pele, etc. With that being said his dribbling is very very solid. He's responsive, agile, 4* Skillz to pay them bills, and has 91 balance so even at 5'8 he's not easily pushed off the ball. Call me a liar, but I can honestly say I've seen him push off gold VVD while continuing a clean dribble. Plus, with a 93 composure stat, this dude is cool as a freaking cucumber at all times. The guy is all provolone, no swiss baby, he's got no holes in his game.

I know, I know, what a real shocker that I even have a single bad thing about this card. I really wish he was perfect, I really do. But you know what they say.... If wishes were fishes the world would be an ocean wouldn't it?

Weak Foot: The 3* weak foot isn't a card killer, he's not completely lost using the right, but he does lose a lot of those crazy shots that make shooting with his left just oh so so buttery. What else can I say? If this guy had 5* weak foot I would sell just about any body part for it.... heck I'd give a finger with the 3* truth be told.

Physical: Look, the guy is no ninny. With a hawk he gets around 80 strength, which when coupled with his balance and composure makes for decent use. Also, his jumping even with a hawk is a 76, he can win headers cause of these goofy ah FIFA 23 animations but he's not coming up with a corner over VVD. So with these Physical stats he obviously does struggle with some of the much stronger CBs, but that is also only if they can actually get a hand on the speedy little Hungarian ginger bread man.

Defending: The dude is a ST.... I certainly don't give a hoot about his defending, and please don't try to act like you do. Do yourself a favor grow up, and move on, why did you even attempt to read a part of this review on his defense?

I played him as a RAM in a 4222 and he is pretty good.
