Rüdiger is nearly as good as SIF VVD. I have yet to try out Sachez UCL Live (and have no plans to), so I feel as though Rüdiger is the second best CB in the PL. Rüdiger has the height, the stats, and the work rates. He's as close to perfect as you can get when it comes to a central defender.
Unfair pace. It doesn't make sense why a CB of his size is that fast.
Can shoot the ball if needed, but don't rely on it going in
Doesn't make errors when passing like some CBs do
Perfect defending and physical
Low balance and low stamina
So, let's start off with the standard of FUT player I am. I'm no pro, usually getting gold 1 in squad battles and in Div 4 in Rivals. I've racked up over 500 games of FIFA, which I must say is fairly embarrassing (Also on Xbox but let's all forget about that for a minute hey). I've written a couple of reviews, and this is a very positive one on a very valuable player in my team.
I play 5 at the back (not 1 depth, not that bad lol (if you're really interested, 5 depth balanced pressure)) with Ampadu and IF Bailly partnering this guy. I'd be joking if I said Rudiger was as fast as Ampadu, however it does seem like I have two Baillys at the back.
Rudiger is really composed on the ball and feels fairly smooth for a CB. I don't notice his 63 agility at all and with an anchor chem style he turns into a 93 rated CB. For around 100k this is one of the best defenders EA will release, especially considering the handy league/nation combo. He is a tank at 6'3'' and along with his 95 defending he also has 84 pace, more than enough in the game at this point. Below are his many positives and any negatives I can think of in the next couple of minutes.
*(PS if you like the review do like it.. if not dislike it looool)*
84 pace
All round defending
Height and threat at corners
Physicality combo (86,64,91,99)
Passing (really nice for a CB)
Really high reactions
Value for money
Low balance
Stamina for some
Can't really shoot, but that isn't what he's there for
I use rudiger to strong link to david luiz, I had 85 van dijk and decided to sell him to get this sbc, only ended up costing me around 30k but the real price is 80-90k and in my opinion thats a complete bargain. With an anchor rudiger is a 93 rated centerback with 89 sprint speed. I love this card being a chelsea fan and german its a bit bias but it is so worth the coins.
Pace
Strength
Aggresion
Defending as a whole
Heading
Stamina (doesn't really effect a centerback)
Balance
