92 - Icon

A must try if you packed him

By Arkaiser, 26-02-2023

Here we go for my first review !

I packed him when the prime icon came out, now I am totally satisfied with this gem. Firstly, i was truly sad when i saw him coming out my icon pack, but when i tested him i was surprised, in the good way. That's why he is still in my team after 135 games overall. I played him in Rivals (Div 6-5-4, it depends the time in the season) and also in squad battle but more in Rivals for sure ! I scored with him 119 goals and lots of assists, playing him on Striker or CAM now in a 4-2-3-1 with Mbappé gold as ST, Neymar gold as LM and Brolin WC as RM and behind him Alonso Toty icon and Park Ji-Sung WC. He feels sometimes really slow but always with a great positioning to do a pass or a very nice shot. I used him with engine to boost speed, passing and dribbling and he is great with this style to play as a CAM. His finishing is insane, one of the best i try so far. His passing is great but not elite as Messi gold can do for example. He can shoot with his two foots, with his 4 stars WF, and i don't dribble too much, so i think his 4 stars skills are enough for me.

With a 200k card, you can imagine he has some cons, and you are right ! Firstly, he can't jump and doing heads, for a 6-footer, it could be a problem for some plays. Then his physicality is also bad, he can be destabilized easily with only 77 strength, and low speed to escape defenders. Lastly his defensive skills are not there but, that's not his job !

To conclude, if you see him on your icons pack, just try him, and you will be pleasantly surprised, even him you are disappointed when you see his face with the Netherlands flag during the animation. For 200k he is a good player, not an elite one, but a solid starter if you search a dutch boy of CAM with a astonishing shooting !

Thanks for reading.
