I was saving around 2m coins for this weekend in order to build a new strong squad during the lunar new year market crash and the most difficult thing for me was finding a good CDM to fit into my 4-1-2-1-2 squad. But luck was on my side and EA dropped Frank's prime SBC. I was torn between doing him and Larsson since both cards looked great but I went with this guy and man, did I make a good choice.
As I said, I used him as a CDM in a 4-1-2-1-2 narrow for 15 games and he was just amazing! He has it all! He has strength to outmuscle pretty much anybody off the ball, his height is great for winning headers, his passing is beyond great, allowing him to create great chances even from a CDM position. He always seems to be there when you need him to intercept or land a decisive tackle. He's also quite quick, feels a bit more than 77 (I recommend you use a Shadow chem style on him), but don't think he is a mad speedster ( I never had an issue with his pace). And on top of all this, add a 4* weak foot.. he'll score goals as well if given the chance.
I haven't used Vieira or Petit, so I can't really compare, but Rijkaard is a monster and for 600k, he is a steal! I would 100% recommend anyone who is still thinking about doing the SBC, to do it ASAP, while it's this cheap.

Some say his balance, but it hasn't honestly bothered me at all
