Player Review
90 - Icon
I just finished my first WL with my new squad. I can tell you im a Gold 1 player and quite often I struggle to get therem but this weekend was just so easy, and Rijkaard was the main reason.
I played him alongside prime Petit (4231 narrow) with a SHADOW chem style, which I would recommend you to apply on this card. Petit was inmense for me the last couple of weeks, using him with 87 Kanté, but when I saw Rijkaard was only like 600k (SBC) I did it inmediately and man, what a great decision it was.
You can really feel his presence, his medium-medium WR are perfect in my opinion, because I wanted him to create chances and he did.
PACE: very decent for a CDM/CM. He doesn't feel rapid, but hes quick.
PASSING: just superb, he never misplaced any. He feels even better than what his IG stats suggest, only managed to get 9 assists but he was so important on every single build up play.
LONG SHOTS: insane, better than Petit in my opinion. He scored 18 goals in 44 games for me so far, and he's my CDM.
DRIBBLING: he's not the kind of player that can dribble, but for me that's not an issue since he's my CDM.
DEFENDING: 10/10 as expected, he intercepts everything, he can make some insane tackles and then start an attack.
PHYSICAL: another superb area, he's tall, has fantastic stamina and strenght. I was worried about his agression but it's not a problem at all.
He has became my favourite midfielder, I think he's better than prime Petit, and he's cheaper so I would recommend him 100%
