90 - Icon

4.5

huge fast car, but missing the highest gear

By natancz, 12-04-2018

Well guys, there are some things that everyone wants to know about. One of them is "how is Rio 90 in game?", so here is an answer.

PACE

Not much to write here, 83 honestly feels like 83, anyway- that is good for a CB, isn't it?

SHOOTING

His longshots are(not sure why) really good for his shooting stat, when he have some space in 20-25m outside of the goal there is a chance for him to score a beauty. He scored 5 goals for me like that.

PASSING

He can easily deliver a long through ball to wingers, short passes are great, especially when you use driven pass (R1 or RB on xbox).

DRIBBLING

Pretty agile, he is decent on the ball when it comes to control, and his balance is acceptable aswell.

DEFENDING

He is an absolute tank when it comes to tackle the ball. Well, he wasn't when I was playing him with shadow, everything changed after i gave him anchor, now he is a complete defender.

PHYSICALITY

And now is my biggest dissapointment. His jumping isn't that good as it should be, his heading doesn't even exist- after 400 games played he scored just one goal from header, but I conceded a lot more with headers when he was marking the guy heading, his strength is good, but nothing more. Rio is agressive and that is only thing I am sure that you will like about his physicality.

workrates, but didn't felt like he has M/M

price, but mostly known as a best CB in the whole game, so he's worth every coin

Boateng on steroids

Back at the start of Fifa 18 i packed an untradeable Boateng and Varane and i was using them 'till now so i'm going to compare Rio to these two.After doing the Schmeichel SBC -i did it the 2nd day it came out, no reviews yet- i realized i traded my Neuer to a bronze keeper in disguise as a prime Icon... But he had it's worth as i traded him in without a flinch to Rio's sbc. Best decision. Ever....

Get Rio'd

Splash the cash on the big man Ferdy. He's so good. Your defence needs this upgrade. He will make the difference in your backline. He'll win you games with his agressive playstyle and amazing interceptions. It feels like your opponents have to pass him twice. The human wall. Have used prime Desailly as well, but he is a class below Rio. This guy can carry your ass all the way to Elite WL.

1.2M is bargain for him!

So i was lucky enough to complete Ferdinand's sbc and after 187 games i can say he is AMAZING! It's totally worth the coins, hell it should even cost more than just 1.2M and if you have some shitty prime icon you have completed and wanna get rid of him, this is the right place to put him to. I did put Schmeicel prime to this sbc and saved me 400-500k. But lets go to the point, why...
