86 - Conference League

5.0

The True Prime Ikone

By sAucebOi, 02-11-2022

When I packed this Ikone out of a moments pack, I was excited to just have packed a special card this FIFA. Little did I know how ridiculous this card would be. Ikone is the best feeling card I've used this game. His dribbling is as fluid as anyone's, and with 96 pace and 99 agility, he's fast enough to run by any defender in the game. I decided to put a deadeye on him (to boost his shooting ability), and was pleasantly surprised at how much better he was as a facilitator in the middle of the field. As a center CAM, he plays somewhat of a false 9 role behind Benzema and Thuram, and although his size is minimal, that plays to his advantage with him being able to dribble around with ease. For only 25k, this card might be the best dribbler in the game. Not only that, but being French and from the Serie A means he can link to many top players in the game. The only downside to Ikone is his strength. With 62 strength, he get pushed around somewhat by bigger and much stronger defenders. However in order to push him, the defenders have to catch him, which rarely happens. Ikone is my favorite card in FIFA so far, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who can link him.

Ridiculously fast: 96 Pace is insane and means he can run by anyone in the game.
High agility: He literally has the highest agility in the game, and it feels like it.
Good shooting: With a deadeye, he has 99 shot power and 85 finishing, which makes the open runs on goal almost guaranteed to score.
Good central passing: Since I'm playing him at CAM, the 97 short passing with deadeye is key to why this card is so good.
Okay stamina: He has 82 stamina, but I've never had issues with his stamina going all the way down. This should also get upgraded with his upgrade to 86.
Linkability: He's French, which means half the cards in every promo will link to him, making him very linkable long term.
Upgradable: By Friday, he should be an 86 and be even better than he is now.

Defense: Defense doesn't really matter for a CAM that stays forward, but he doesn't make that many tackles due to being small and not strong with 42 DEF
Strength: He only has 62 strength, which means he isn't going to push past any defenders or even be able to stop many tackles with physicality.
(New Gen Only) Not Lengthy: I don't care about this because I'm on old gen, but if you're looking for a lengthy player, Ikone will never be that.
