Player Review

88 - Normal
4.0
One of the best winger
By Corty, 27-09-2017

After spending some fifa points and grinding with coin boosts, trading i got my hands on one my favorite right sided wingers in the game.


And hell, does he feels good this year too! It wasn't that expensive, 102k coins when i bought him and still to this day when i write this review he still goes between 100k and 110k which seeing the PL prices is nothing for this high rated card.


So the positives:


I scored in 11 games 14 goals and 0 assists because he was always at the right position at the right time so his positioning in-game is really good.


I didn't had any assists with him because if i got the ball to him he was in a position to score and not to pass through the ball. With basic chem style his positioning and finishing both 90 so... yeah, with

86 composure... perfect. Use his finesse shots, its freakin' OP as he has 92 curve with basic chem style.


His passing is also good, especially with quick 1-2 passing and with high-low work rate, he always started to run by himself and i did not need to send him on a run manually. Crossings is possible but i found them inconsistent, don't know why and to be honest i usually do low driven passes not crossings. I suggest you to set him to get in behind and cut inside to get the most out of him on the wings because he is most deadly inside the penalty box.


Let's see his dribbling. With the basic chem style his dribbling is high nineties, so there is exactly 0 problems there. His first touch is perfect, his close ball control is touch tight and it's very easy to wriggle around defenders with his dribbling and 4 star skill moves. He's quick and reaches his top speed almost instantly so you can run, run and run if you wish, few defenders can catch him.


Now let's see the negatives.


Weak foot. Yeah, its for standing only nothing else. Avoid using it as much as possible. It's virtually nonexistent. None. 0. Forget it.


The another weakness is the stamina. He could play through the whole game, because of his high-low work rates he doesn't exhaust himself that much fast even if you are a pace whore. BUT.

But it shows. After the 60-70 minutes he starts to feel slow as he looses fitness. You need to use him correctly, i usually could go trough the whole game with him and score winning goals in the 90th minute so just don't sprint all the time and build up your game from the midfield and he will be there to finish it any time, any day.


The last weakness is aggression. He is timid as a little bunny. If a defender catches him, and goes shoulder to shoulder he WILL loose the ball and not fight back to get it so keep this in mind!


Lastly there is something i did not mentioned as a weakness but you should consider:


His strength could be marked as a weakness but... i don't know, i don't think it is. He is NOT a strength player, he is someone you use to run down the wings, cut inside with some skill moves and score a goal.


Thanks for reading my review i hope i could help you with deciding to buy him or not!

World Cup Robben

So finally, finally there is an usable right winger from the Bundesliga! I've been waiting all Fifa 18 for this, so as soon as I've found out about this card I just had to get him. Never been a big fan of his personally, I decided to give him a try because of those unreal stats and rating. And I haven't been disappointed at all! I am currently playing a Bundesliga-only-team, mostly thanks to Robben...

One of the best dribbelers IG

Arjen Robben, The Dutch winger really impressed me during the 15 games I played with him so far scoring 15 goals as well as making 8 assists. Playing him as an upcomming RF he was able to make good runs and create many 1v1 situations. Almost all the chances he got within the penalty area went in. However I feel like his shooting from outside the box is not that good and doesn't reflect his real life...

Best winger in the Bundesliga!

Robben is, as the title of this review says, the best winger in the Bundesliga and is a must have in any Bundesliga team.PaceEven though he has "only" 86 pace overall he feels like he has 90+ pace when using him in-game. He can easily beat defenders when attacking, and he has the pace to get back to defend when necessary.Shooting
