Cruyff Player Review
Pros
Elite Dribbling & Joystick Response
One of his biggest strengths. Cruyff’s dribbling is ultra-smooth with instant joystick response. Effortless turns, tight control, and silky directional changes make him extremely fluid in tight spaces and very hard to dispossess.
Pace & Acceleration
Cruyff feels incredibly quick on the ball, accelerating sharply and making fast directional bursts that help him glide past defenders with ease.
5★ Weak Foot Advantage
With a perfect 5-star weak foot, he can shoot, pass, and dribble equally well on both feet, making him completely unpredictable in the final third.
5★ Skill Moves & Effective Stun
All advanced skill moves execute cleanly. Elastico, lane change, and roulette work very well, while step over is decent though not extremely explosive. The stun rate is highly effective in One on One situations.
Finishing & Long Shot Threat
Cruyff converts chances effortlessly inside and outside the box. Power shots, placed finishes, and quick strikes are consistently reliable. Capable of scoring stunning goals from distance. Well-timed power shots are dangerous and often beat top keepers.
Deadly Finesse Shots
His finesse shots are exceptional, with great curve and placement. Cutting in and curling from outside the box feels automatic.
CAM & ST Versatility
Naturally elite at CAM, but extremely effective at ST as well. His dribbling, movement, and finishing make him dangerous in both roles.
Elite Playmaking Ability
Delivers pinpoint short passes, through balls, and accurate long distributions. Can control tempo and create high-quality chances consistently.
Outstanding Off-Ball Movement
His offensive positioning is exceptional. Makes intelligent runs, times movements perfectly for through balls, and is always in dangerous scoring zones.
Strong Stamina & Work Rate
Maintains sharpness throughout the match. His H/L work rate keeps him active near goal without dropping too deep unnecessarily.
Key Traits
Flair, Playmaker, and Outside Foot Shot traits further enhance his creativity and unpredictability in attack.
Cons
Not Elite-Level ST Pace
While his pace is very good, it’s not at the absolute top-tier level compared to the fastest pure strikers in the game.
Conclusion
Cruyff is a near-complete attacking card. Elite dribbling, flawless weak foot, top-tier finishing, and intelligent movement make him one of the most dangerous CAM/ST hybrids in the game. Slightly less explosive pace as a pure ST is the only minor drawback.
Rating: 9.9/10
