World Cup Robben

By Glubb123, 28-06-2018

So finally, finally there is an usable right winger from the Bundesliga! I've been waiting all Fifa 18 for this, so as soon as I've found out about this card I just had to get him.

Never been a big fan of his personally, I decided to give him a try because of those unreal stats and rating. And I haven't been disappointed at all!

I am currently playing a Bundesliga-only-team, mostly thanks to Robben. Prior to that I had an All-Ligue 1-Squad, featuring Prime Henry, Depay TOTS and Mbappe TOTS. As mentioned before, I found out about this card and off we go - sold all of them french players including HENRY and got myself a Bundesliga-Team.

Chem-Style used here is Finisher as I tried to boost his strenght and jumping. Nothing else to boost left, really.

My formation of choice is 4-3-2-1.

First of all: you cannot play him as a right mid. He won't work in the back due to his work rates being High/Low.

His attacking however is absolutely brilliant and I mean it. Literally every single shot he takes goes in. He is just as deadly in the box as he is from the outside of it. A real nightmare for defenders.

Probably the best thing about this card or Robben in general is: He is absolutely predictable! 2*-WF makes him, just like in real life, speeding from the right side into the middle of the pitch to shoot (and score). That's not a secret at all, his right foot really is bad, in-game and in real life. But somehow I've figured that this makes him pretty brilliant. I mean, just in the moment when my opponents think "now he's doing the Robben-thing" I turn and pass the ball into the middle, where Werner TOTS is patiently waiting to score. Do this twice in the same match and then just take on a long shot with him while doing so and I'll guarantee: He will become one unpredictalbe bald god!

Just brilliant, I mean you can use his weakness for your advantage.

I've used sooo many players this year's FIFA, including dozens of right wingers. This one, pink Robben, is my favourite by faaaar. In my opinion Messi TOTY is the only one to compare him to. For me personally, Salah TOTS cannot come close.

His heading is great (don't trust the stats on this one), stamina is okay (considering the workrates), dribbling is not of this world...but the most outstanding thing is his shooting...just try out, he won't disappoint! Volleys easily go in (in that case often even with his weak foot!), long shots turn to goals 9 times out of 10. His positioning, combined with his workrates makes him a biiig threat to any defender!

Pace: One of the fastest I've tried this year, including CR7's and Salah's
Shooting: Consistent finisher inside and outside the box...get him in position and do whatever you want, he will score
Passing: Nothing spectecular, but better than most. His free kicks are great.
Dribbling: Absolutely sensational. Like Messi TOTY, really. No difference here, at least not in my book.
2*-WF: How could this ever be a pro? Well, just read my review and ask no more!
4*SM
in conclusion: almost everything!

Strenght might become an issue (although 79 is not that bad)
Stamina: 80 Stamina might become a Problem over 120 min, however it is not for 90 because of his H/L-WR
Aggression: 55, but I actually don't feel it.

Arjen Robben

One of the best winger

After spending some fifa points and grinding with coin boosts, trading i got my hands on one my favorite right sided wingers in the game. And hell, does he feels good this year too! It wasn't that expensive, 102k coins when i bought him and still to this day when i write this review he still goes between 100k and 110k which seeing the PL prices is nothing for this...

Arjen Robben

One of the best dribbelers IG

Arjen Robben, The Dutch winger really impressed me during the 15 games I played with him so far scoring 15 goals as well as making 8 assists. Playing him as an upcomming RF he was able to make good runs and create many 1v1 situations. Almost all the chances he got within the penalty area went in. However I feel like his shooting from outside the box is not that good and doesn't reflect his real life...

Arjen Robben

Best winger in the Bundesliga!

Robben is, as the title of this review says, the best winger in the Bundesliga and is a must have in any Bundesliga team.PaceEven though he has "only" 86 pace overall he feels like he has 90+ pace when using him in-game. He can easily beat defenders when attacking, and he has the pace to get back to defend when necessary.Shooting
