He was a true Icon of the game, winning the Champion's League and the Ballon d'Or in separate season with FC Barcelona to cement his status.
The Bulgarian legend, Hristo Stoichkov has his Base Icon SBC available in EA Sports FC 24 Ultimate Team now!
The SBC is very expensive, coming in at a price of 569.5K coins and needs 10 segments to unlock the card.
He has some amazing stats and characteristics such as:
- 90 Pace with the Controlled Explosive AcceleRATE type makes him very quick over short distances
- 90+ in every single in game Shooting Stat with the Finesse Shot PlayStyles makes him incredibly lethal at every range
- 88 Freekick Accuracy and Curve with the Dead Ball PlayStyles makes him a great option for short range set pieces
- 88 Agility, 82 Balance, 87 Reactions, 90 Ball Control, 91 Dribbling and 87 Composure with the Flair PlayStyles and the Technical PlayStyles+ makes him extremely good on the ball
- 84 Stamina means he won't need to be substituted for 75+ minutes
- 84 Strength and 91 Aggression makes him very good in physical duels
- 4-Star Skill Moves are good for an attacker
His ideal position in game would be as an RCF in a 4-3-2-1 or a 3-4-2-1. Coming in from the right, beating players using his phenomenal dribbling and then taking that lethal finesse shot with his left allows you to make the most out of this card.
He has a similar player profile to that of Base Icon Ferenc Puskas. The diminutive attackers rely on both pace and technical ability to beat their man and once they're in front of goal it's just over.
The card has a few drawbacks such as:
- 3-Star Weak Foot is an issue up front
- Medium/Medium workrates mean you'll need to use manual triggers to make him run
- Poor aerial presence with 77 Jumping and 80 Heading Accuracy
What Chemistry Style to use for Base Icon Hristo Stoichkov?
The suggested Chemistry Style for Base Icon Stoichkov is: ENGINE. The boost in balance and the combined boosts in Pace, Dribbling and Passing elevates the other aspects of this card and make him a complete attacker.
Base Icon Hristo Stoichkov: Complete or Yeet?
The price may seem a lot at first but this SBC is better formatted than the ones before, most of the cost comes from the multiple 86-rated squads which are expensive but doable rather than the 87 or 88 rated ones. 120K+ cheaper than he was before release, a great attacking card that will stay in your team for months, this card is definitely worth it. My verdict: Complete!
