James Rodriguez (The Sniper)

By WasabiPapi, 24-10-2018

What can I say about this card... He has single handedly won me majority of my games and gets me out of not so favorable odds. I am a HUGE James fan and has always had him on my FUT since Fifa 15. Most people will see a RW with 74 pace and instantly look past it. However, in FUT 19 slower players are actually usable and can be ABSOLUTELY deadly if used correctly. I start him at RW in the 4-2-4 with the Shadow chemistry and change my formation to the 4-2-2-2 with him as my right cam. With a shadow he goes up to 85 pace or something so he can keep up with the build up play easily. I set him the stay forward and stay on the edge of the box with conservative interceptions. His Left foot is a straight WONDERWAND! Practically any Green timed finesse shot from the top right, just outside of the penalty area is cash at the far post. I usually never have a stamina issue with him because I only sprint while I am defending so I can preserve as much juice as I can for late equalizers/game winners. Dribbling is tight and can shake good defenders. I usually only have trouble going against Walker, Bellerin, etc. and will have to pass it off. Through passes and crosses are also on target given you have the right timing/power. Free kicks are also great, right behind Toni Kroos for me. I understand this card is not for every pace hog out there, but he is always drifting to the right spot to drill a screamer as long as your patient.

The Name is Bond, James Rodriguez.

So after 41 Games with this man, I´ve decided to write the first Review on this page instead of learning for my exams :DI am using him as a CAm in the 41212 paired up with TOTGS Lewandowski and sPotm Reus. Deadly Trio is all I can say!Instructions for him are: Stay forward, nothing else.Pace:Using him with a Hunter Chem style, his pace is solid, but nothing special. He won´t win any ...

An incredible player. Incredible finessed long shots - if you can get him a meter of space on his left foot anywhere within 25 yards, chances are it's going in. I have him as a CAM - Thiago and Rakitic behind. Him and Rakitic together mean I can pick out a top corner on, left or right, from outside of the box.His passing is excellent - threaded through balls, short possession game with quick touches - does...

Makes a Difference!

I have never wondered to play James Rodriguez until I got his FUT Champions Player Pick card (the best card i have ever got by player picks btw) I wasn't sure about it when I put him in the squad with IF Goretzka who made him have 8 chemistry points. BUT, this card is AMAZING. You may say: "It's useless with its 78 pace", but it's really not like that. Yea, you can't win a run to ball with defenders like Varane, but you don...
