This legend of the game is the definition of sheer class. His intelligence and elegance are both iconic and nobody can doubt his legacy.
For gracing the cover of FIFA 20 Ultimate Edition, Real Madrid and Juventus legend Zinedine Zidane has his Cover Stars Icon SBC available in FIFA Ultimate Team now!
The France World Cup winner’s SBC is expensive, coming in at a price of 1.9M coins and needs 21 segments to unlock the card.
This card is near perfect, with incredible stats and characteristics such as:
- 93 Acceleration and 92 Sprint Speed with his Controlled AcceleRATE type makes him very fast over moderate distances
- 95+ in all outfield shooting stats with the Finesse Shot Trait makes him incredibly effective both at close range and long range shots
- His ball distribution is literally perfect with every single in game passing stat being 99
- 99 for all dribbling stats except his 88 Balance and 90 Agility with the Flair Trait will allow him to make the most of his Skill Moves and responsiveness on the ball
- Incredible defending for an attacker with 95 Interceptions, 83 Defensive Awareness and 88 Standing Tackle
- Being 6’1 with his 87 Jumping and 99 Heading Accuracy makes him very good in the air
- 94 Stamina means he won’t need to be substituted for 85+ minutes
- 92 Strength with 83 Aggression will allow him to come out on top in most offensive duels and 50/50’s
- 5-Star Skill Moves and Weak Foot will allow him to maximise the use of his already amazing stats, especially his dribbling and shooting
His ideal position in game would be as a Central CAM in a 4-2-3-1, a 4-3-3(4) or the attacking CM in a 4-3-2-1. His stats make him incredibly dangerous in and around the box, waiting to play the final ball, create a chance with his dribbling or take a shot.
He has a similar player profile to that of Level Up Kevin De Bruyne. De Bruyne is more physical while Zidane boasts the better Pace and Shooting, but overall these 2 cards epitomise the complete midfielder in FIFA 23.
The card does have a couple drawbacks such as:
- His Average body type will make him slightly clunky while turning
- His Medium/Medium workrates will need manual run triggering and player instructions to make him move in the way you want him to
What Chemistry Style to use for Cover Stars Icon Zinedine Zidane?
The suggested Chemistry Style for Cover Stars Icon Zinedine Zidane is: HAWK. The boost in Pace and Shooting brings them as close to perfect as they can be and the massive +8 in Aggression pushes his physicals to all be in the 90’s as well.
Cover Stars Icon Zinedine Zidane: Complete or Yeet?
As we wrap up FIFA 23 in preparations of EA Sports FC 24 spending 1.9M coins shouldn’t be too much of a concern, especially with repeatable SBCs such as the 84+x10 Upgrade and the FUTTIES Crafting Upgrade being available for a potentially infinite grind this card is very easy to craft and will most likely make your last experiences in FIFA 23 memorable and worth it. My verdict: Complete!
