94 - FOF

4.0

What an ironic nickname...

By IansReviews, 21-08-2018

Arjen Robben's 88 rated card was by far one of the best base cards I had used in this installment of fifa, period. His crippling stamina was overshadowed by his precise dribbling and insane finishing, so naturally when I saw this card come out a couple months ago I was refreshed to see him having 80 stamina! But, after five games, I was left with a sour taste in my mouth!

HE DOES NOT HAVE 98 PACE! I do not care what the stats say, he plays like he is 93 paced AT MOST. He is incapable of creating solid space from defenders and is caught more times than not by average defenders. His pace is super solid, but it prevents him from being classified as a game-changer.

Robben's shooting would be 10/10 if it wasn't for his 2 star weak foot. Out of 31 shots taken, 6 of them were squandered by his weak foot. His left is incredible, and if you are capable of keeping shots to his left foot alone, he's money.

Dribbling was exactly what you would expect from Arjen, and his ability to create space via skill moves is almost unmatched! Speaking of creating space, Robben is incapable of bodying a bug! He will always lose the physical battle, and his dribbling alone isn't enough to consistently keep possession.

Conclusion:

The stats on this card made my expectations skyrocket, so naturally I was disappointed by his negatives. But, this is still a great card! I just wouldn't build a squad around him, as he seems far more suited to be a creator than a finisher. Don't use him at RM, as his Defending is nonexistent.

World Cup Robben

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...

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...

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...
