So far this year I have tried a ton of different icons, and so far only Gerd Muller and Garrincha have been the stand out players for me. As for the review, I would put Garrincha as the #1 icon I have tried this year. He is absolutely incredible, he comes with Trickster+ built in to the card and that adds so much versatility and fun with the card. I wasn't big on using skill moves that much until I used this guy. His dribbling is a 10/10, so lets get that out of the way. He can shoot, and finish just about everything, he is rapid on the ball, and can ping passes all over the pitch. He was a joy to use, and when my time with him came to an end I sold him off to try other icons which I will review soon.

Now for the only flaw with this card, the strength. In a world of Centurion Silva, Blanc, and VVD, he will get absolutely smashed off the ball by any of those guys. But that is really my only complaint.

Easily one of the best dribblers in the entire game.

Can score at will, and a fun thing to try is cutting inside from the wing, walk close the line and shoot it through the keepers legs. He could do that very consistently.

Passing is fantastic, can get the ball to whomever you need him to get it to.

He is very quick on the ball, I played him alongside Vini Jr. and he felt much faster.

Strength is a big one, he gets smashed by bulky defenders.

Heading but I don't consider it that big of a deal since this isn't someone you'd be crossing too, or looking to get off corners.
