Only OG FIFA Fans Remember How Sweaty This Roma Front Three Was

Only OG FIFA Fans Remember How Sweaty This Roma Front Three Was

Pace, pace and more pace...

Name a sweatier trio, we'll wait. Roma's front three on FIFA 15 will forever live long in the memory.

The Giallorossi had Ivory Coast duo Gervinho and Seydou Doumbia along with Colombian international and long-time FIFA favourite Victor Ibarbo and it was just something else.

Gervinho had 93 pace and 83 dribbling, Doumbia had 93 pace and 82 dribbling, while Ibarbo, playing on the right flank, completed the utter sweatiness with 91 pace and 82 dribbling.

And if you wanted a fourth Roma speedster to add into the equation, Argentine Juan Iturbe, with his 92 pace and 84 dribbling, was also capable of tearing it up.

The trident were so good that literally your whole game plan would literally be to play a through ball in behind and wait for your attackers to explode off the blocks.

Many controllers have been destroyed on Xbox and PlayStation thanks to these three players doing absolute damage on the counter attack. We'll never forget how overpowered they were.

We could well get the chance to relive the glory days thanks to EA Sports' new feature this year. They've introduced a new addition to the online mode with 'Flashback' cards, meaning some players will receive the same overall they had in previous titles.

First up is Atlético Madrid's Juanfran, who has received a spicy bump in his FIFA 19 overall in his Flashback version.

There are several mockup designs popping up online that'll make any Ultimate Team player feel nostalgic, with FIFA fans well and truly behind the idea.


Just imagine the scenes if Ibarbo, Gervinho and Doumbia pop up. Filth will ensue and the amount of angry FIFA players will increase significantly.
