Player Review
92 - TOTS
I got Rodrigo in a Premium LaLiga Upgrade pack, had one look at his composure and stuck him on my bench. This was a mistake. He sat there until my Ronaldo received a red card and I decided to give him a go, and go he did. This bloke is a speeding bullet and he has outrun every single defender I've come across in the game. I've been running him with Marksman and he has been a revelation, and honestly I haven't noticed any issues with his composure; as long as you make sure you shoot with his left foot. His 99 shot power tears open the back of the net and with 93 curve his finesse shots are sublime. A big surprise for me was his heading ability, he has 99 heading accuracy and Marksman boosts his jumping to 96, and he will leap over most defenders and bury the ball in the back of the net.
If I hadn't packed him untradable I would have sold him the second I saw him, but for his current price (250k PS4) he is an absolute bargain. He's so good that I decided to write my first ever review.
- Pace. Oh my God the pace. Combined with his Tries to Beat Defensive Line trait he's pretty much uncatchable.
- Shot power, finishing and curve. Conjures up absolute rockets.
- Arial ability. Does not disappoint and he pulls off some brilliant headers.
- Physical. While he is no Lukaku he's definitely no pushover.
- Short passing is great.
- Dribbling is quick and smooth. His high agility, ball control, dribbling, Speed Dribbler Trait and 4-star skills moves make him a nightmare for defenders.
- Do not attempt any long passes with him ever, but as a striker you don't really need to.
- 3-star weak foot, although low driven shots with his right aren't too bad.
- 79 composure but I haven't really noticed.
