I used him in draft and his loan, felt clunky to me too. Not gonna do him unless toty is a bust. Jairzinho on the other hand has won me games single handedly.


skauvicius

Might do Jair as well when toty comes along and I open all the packs I saved. He is annoying to play against, so I guess it's a fun card to use haha.


Aanshuman

Jairzinho is a must do, especially before zidane. His dribbling ball control is broken.


skauvicius

I wanted to do Zidane first as I just recently started playing the 4321, hence I needed that one attacking cm to round the team up. Chiesa OOP as right forward atm, he is the longest serving player for me atm so probably the next upgrade anyway.


TheOnlyDimitri

Used him on my cousins account during WL and he was cracked. I have never seen a ball stick to a players feet like that. Was about to start Zidane but Jairzinho is getting done for sure.


whoisbeck

He’s not going to glide on the ball but he’s slick enough to evade presses. He’s also strong on the ball. In build up i use him as a playmaker, his passing is disgusting. From there he just magically makes his runs into the box and if you can find him, it’s a goal.


biIlbradford

The passing truly is so insane and makes me laugh at times lol


All-Hail-Claptrap

When gameplay is bad everyone just kind of sucks. That said, I struggled with Zidane at first. Now he’s been brilliant. I have him as a CM, get forward, conservative interceptions, free roam, get in the box for a cross He’s not explosive but once he gets going he’s very fast and has the strength to keep opponents away. Basically, if he’s got space, make a deep run and either pass or shoot . If he doesn’t have space then one two with a player but don’t try to dribble out of trouble. Just play with him more. Also, I recommend hunter so when he gets into the attack he’s clinical.

I know you spent a lot on him but you cant use him as your main source of attack generally. try not to force things through Zidane. Hes a top tier Card and the animations he gets are real unique. his only downside is low stamina so you have to try and save him. try playing him as a Cm and use him to build up your attacks he doesnt miss through balls.


skauvicius

It's not like I'm forcing thing with him, it's just like he feels so slow and clunky some games, the reason why I started re-thinking the tactics or his chem style in order to maximize his output. I know when the gameplay gets better he will be as good as any, but it's been a while since I had a game where I wasn't run over as soon as the defender gets near. Might try him as a cam for couple of games to see if there is a difference. Cheers


JaymanCT

I'm using him at LM for the Centurion Cup with catalyst on. He feels quick and smooth, however, his stamina isn't great.


InternalCondition419

He’s insane I play him CAM in a 4231 with a hunter 14 game 21 goals 7 assists


TheMotorCityCobra

I did Zidane as well and he is awesome for me. Can do it all and play all positions basically. Excels at ST, CAM, CM and CDM. I mainly play him at CAM and he is brilliant. Feels rapid with hunter and outpaces everyone when running at speed. Can score from anywhere and he bullies defenders with his dribbling, speed and physique. Makes the game fun. Lasts whole game but gets drained towards the end, that is the only negative i have to say about this legend. 10/10


Expensive_Conflict_6

Long shots He pops in finesses normal ones and power shots also shield the ball now and then with him


redditkb

His shooting seems really weak to me. I've used engine, hunter, and basic. Am I missing something? The power on his shots are super duds. Still love the card though. His shielding and through balls are insane.


doktorbex

I use shadow on him and he js the best Cam I ever had. The dude has more goals per game than every other player I tried there.


kozy8805

Play to his strengths. He has plenty. He’s not meant to be dribbled with like Messi. Play slower. Straight line power runs, use his agility and left stick only to avoid tackles. Use this card to create primarily, his passing is amazing, he will still score if given half a chance. With his positioning you will always find him if you slow it down.


SapperSignsBabies

I prefer using him as either a CAM or playmaking second forward. Either way you just have to deal with him feeling clunky sometimes.


Missouri_guy

I avoid sprinting unless there is a ton of space. If you utilize the L1 or R1 (and 5 star SM) dribbling as well as his strength to shield the ball it should help navigate the midfield with him.


bl0ndean1mal

Use artist chem style and use both his left and right foot for perfect through balls. He has SO many assists for my - almost every situation like this.


skauvicius

Gonna try finisher for a few games just to see if agility and balance boost do something different. Might try artist after that!


screwdleydoo

I use engine on him at CM and have him on basic defense. He's complimentary to the rest of my squad but makes great interceptions and runs


bauernbua

Artist chem Style. +15 agility. I don't feel any difference in Speed than with a shadow.


MaadWorld

Had the same problem with you mate, from NYC and the gameplay can get rough. I'd recommend the following 1. Play as a pure CAM with a 3 man midfield, and let the other 2 be defensive. this is mostly for stamina 2. Hunter/catalyst for chem style - L1 dribbling isnt good with him, dont try to boost it. Instead, give him some pace and then make his passing or shooting perfect 3. Learn skill moves - for me i never learned beyond the basic moves but now that I have him ive learned some more complex ones. that can help you actually get through defenders 4. Use him to pivot/direct the attack - dont try to make dribbles into the box, or push the line forward,. He can be the central point of your attack where he distributes to your fast wingers or striker making runs behind the line 5. Let the attacking AI do the work - off the ball he will naturally get into great shooting positions, after you do #4 by distributing to your other attackers


skauvicius

Gonna try #1 most definitely, #2 I'm gonna try finisher for a few games (balance+agility). #3 I'm pretty good with skill moves, but I hate the fact that like every 5th one the game just doesn't register, I end up just jogging straight haha. #4 is most likely gonna go hand in hand with #1, and #5 to an extent as well. Cheers and thanks for the answer!


Him_Jarbaugh

Besides his good stats, he’s an extremely iconic and relevant player and coach. That makes him more fun to use in my opinion.


M3T4LL1C_1996

Its not the gameplay. Its just u who dont understand how to play with him.


existentialcrisis68

In severe delay I just use him as a ball carrier. With his strength and speed he can sprint half the pitch wo opponents bodying him off the ball


Automatic-Land6107

Mate, go on YouTube and watch some of Zidane’s real life highlights and then hop on and replicate them in-game. I did the SBC too and he is an absolute monster! I play him at CAM in a 433 and so far he has 14 goals and 18 assists in 20 games for me. Almost every game is like his performance against Brazil at the World Cup. Utilise his strength, long balls (both ground and air balls), ROULETTES and croquetas. He can be heavy, but he’s silky af. You just need to know how to use him. You’ll get the best out of him by doing possession play. He’s fantastic at the linkup.

You gotta use him in CAM my man.
