Frank Rijkaard review

By Hellrizen, 05-11-2018

This Ajax talent was one of the best middlefielders IRL. Although, he confused me in game to a point that i am writing a review to let you know what to expect and not from his prime card. What i liked about the card was his passing, headers and shooting. What i didn't like was his defensive runs, balance and defensive work rate. Sometimes he stands and watches the ball passing right next to him. He has a base of 91 interceptions and in game it doesn't feel at all like 91. In some games he was my best player in others the worst. He is too inconsistent. I swapped to Makelele and the difference in defensive work is huge. Makelele in game is better in every single stat apart from shooting and headers. If you are about to spend 1.2million for an icon you are expecting him to be a beast and dictate the middlefield but this card for me wasnt that special. He is good but not 1.2m coins good.

Rijkaard Prime

SO to begin with last year in FIFA 18 i also did the Rijkaard sbc and i wasn't dissapointed at all with this big boy. This year i said to myself let's do it again because i had a lot of untreadable players in my club. I played him with the Players in the linked squad. as a cm in 4-1-2-1-2 (2) and as a cdm with kante alongside with him. First i want to say: This guy is massive. if he goes shoulder to shoulder with almost an...

Frank Rijkaard

one of the best

sry for my bad english i am from germany. first of all i don't want to write a book about him so lets get in the analysis. His card looks mental but is it the same ingame?

A better Kante

Frank Rijkaard in my opinion is the best cdm of the game right after Patrick Vieira and i will explain why.I have always played in a classic 4231 formation before the finesse patch and i played kante and rijkaard as the two cdms. At first i was not so happy about him, he felt slow, with poor agility and not so defensevly effective. When i switched to a 41212 formation i had to sell kante and keep rijkaard as the only...
