87 - Trailblazers SBC
4.5
Rodrygo 2.0 (more like 3.0)
By StainVox, 16-10-2023

Prior to completing this SBC I had no experience with Rodrygo in game. All I heard from friend was that he was actually very solid.


Given that he would fit my team perfectly, I decided to do him with my untradeables (almost entirely), given the alternatives in SBC was Son and Leao, this seemed a no brainer.


In game I played him as a RST in a 41212 and I have to say, he is VERY good. Especially for a formation such as mine. The new Playstyle+ allows him to receive driven ground passes with ease and close to the foot, it's genuinely very useful.


He did lack in the clinical department at times, but his off the ball movement and attacking AI was superb. Letting me just play and wait for his move at times.


I would think he'd be a waste playing wide, CAM can be useful, but as a ST with 2 STs is where he'll shine most.


Definitely suggest you do this, especially if your team is heading in that direction aswell.

So i saw Rodrygos sbc and saw it was 400-500k and was wondering if he was worth it(he was)




I use him as a striker in a 4231 position. He was making amazing ai runs and when i send him through he always scores even with weakfoot



When he gets the ball in small areas i used R1/RB dribbling to get free and scores and the first touch playstyle+ helpes with his ball control



I am currently halfway through div 6 and is on the way to div 1 and since rodrygo came its been a dream



I used him around Son, Nkunku, diaby and it was perfect for him.





Pros:


Pace


Shooting


Dribbling ( Espacially R1/RB)


Ai runs






Cons:


58 strength ( i put a hawk on him to get 4+ strength but the strength doesnt matter much because hes so fast with hes feet)


Med/Med ( it doesnt matter ingame with 4231 )

I had high hopes for Rodrigo. I played him up front with Haaland and as a CAM and he disappointed me.

Im not the kind of player who likes to run to the edge of the box, do a few turns and play it in for a tap in. I like playing through the lines and put some decent passes together and a few simple skill moves.


however the silver lining is putting him on the wing replacing Raphinha. He seems at home on the wing, and will often get passed his defender or make a good run down the wing. However if I try to cut inside, more often than not he will lose possession very easily.

he’s not the best at tracking back even with balanced defensive.

Pace

Close control of the ball

running in behind

can cross a ball well and his playstyle means he can put in a corner well.

first touch and go is good.

He will get knocked off the ball too easily if someone gets close to him.

poor long through balls
