86 - TOTGS

4.5

Excellent

Packed TOTY Bonucci as an untradable and needed to fit him into my squad so picked Rodriguez up to replace Alaba. Wasn't thrilled about having to drop Alaba to the bench but after a couple games with Rodriguez, I quickly changed by tune. If anything, I'd say I prefer him over Alaba at this point. I've played him for a significant number of games as both a LB and LWB and he's stood out in both positions. I play him with a Shadow chem style to maximize his pace and defending and I can't say he's lacking in any other ratings after doing so - he's very solid defensively and his passing/shooting are phenominal. He's my primary free kick, left side corner, and PK taker and he excels in all those areas. Crossing is excellent and he gets back on D quickly. Highly recommend him.

Free Kicks - he's deadly when putting shots on goal or sending them into the box for aerial threats

Two Way player
Strong link to TOTY Bonucci

Only con from my perspective is stamina - I end up having to replace him around the 75 min mark in many games as I tend to attack a lot with my LB/RB. A more conservative player with those positions may not have the same issues.

BEST Serie A Fullback

This year I have used his NIF, IF, and now this one...he is overpowered by FIFA from the start. If you play a cross-into-the-box game, this is your man. He's an absolute assassin with 95 base crossing, Early Crosser trait and Crosser specialty. All you need is a target forward like Icardi or Immobile and he will send in some long range missiles that are unbelievable. His base DEF stats are good enough to run him as an Engin...

Thank you Nepenthez

He might be a very good starter in a Calcio A team, I use him in my BPL team as a super sub though. I got the idea from Nepenthez. He is an insane CDM, I can't even describe: the tackling is insane, he reaches so fast and clear that your confidence will rise because of him: and after he tackled, he delivers the most confident passes ever, because of his insane 88 passing (!!!!), in which curve is key, because he can deliver...
