Richarllllllison - Overrated

By ctman770, 19-11-2018

For me, Richarlison is a value winger, but don't count on him to win you any games. Although his stats may sound like a great value for under 30k, I found more often than not he is out performed by cheapo 1k wingers. He needs at least one or two more upgrades before he can contend. In all honesty, he might be a lost cause now that Felipe Anderson is the LW to own for Brazil and EPL teams. Richarlison is doomed to always be below Felipe.

I played him in a Brazil + CSL (4-3-3) squad early in the season alongside POTM Lucas, Alex Teixera (try this guy out!). He woefully underperformed as a scorer (PGP 0.21 Goals) and was out performed by Carrasco who is only 1k. I moved him into a LM position in a 4-1-2-1-2 EPL squad recently with POTM Aubameyang up top and he can't seem to out dribble, out pace, nor out pass anybody. He's like on an island, and as soon as he gets the ball I find myself rushing to pass back to my CAMs/CMs. I basically use him to just ping pong passes between my backline and CMs.

His outside shot is not great, his passing is not great, so the only way he provides value is if you dribble him well inside the box and shoot/pass from there. I remember the frustration of him missing shots and making poor passes once inside the box. I did not get that same feeling with OTW Quincy Promes or POTM Lucas, some other wingers I've featured in his spot.

His strength and Def WR is useful in winning the ball back on the wings, but he's not so great at one thing to warrant a place on any of my squads. Maybe we get lucky and he gets a few more upgrades this year. For now don't waste your time.

5* WF although you need to be in the box to score with him
High Att and High Def WR
He can back down defenders and win headers at 5'11". He can hold the ball
Stamina is decent, but less of an issue now that new cards are coming out

Agility, Balance, Composure too low to dribble around anyone. Loses the ball at first sight of contact/challenge
Bad passer/crosser for a LW/LM. You will need to make extra passes to CAM/CMs or pull back ST to get ball in
Feels slow for his pace rating
Cannot score from outside/top of the box reliably

Underrated

i bought richarlisons otw when it was around 20k and i thought it would be a decent investment. i decided to use his normal card in my team and thought he was okay but nothing special. so when hes card got an upgrade i thought let me try him before i sell him. i decided to use him as a left cam in a 4-2-3-1 formation and all i can say is he is quite simply amazing. hes finesse shots are so OP and virtually every finesse goe...

Pombo: What a striker

Play him as lone striker, this is guy is a beast, in game formation 4231 alongside Baby Rivaldo, 88 Reus and 85 Malcom, every single match he scores, his positioning is awesome, 5 WF also awesome, and 4 star skills is very good for a tall striker, of course he cant be compared with Ronaldo, Cristiano and other legends, but for his price he is a beast, use with hawk, never mind his 80 composure, doesnt matter for this guy

What a beast

I bought this card to try as a replacement for Jesus and it is easily one of the best purchases I've made. He's incredible in front of goal, from both sides with his 5* weak foot and from all distances despite only having 74 long shots with Deadeye.While using Deadeye he has 99 Positioning and 96 Finishing, paired with his pace he is easily one of my favourite strikers and definitely my favourite Brazilian striker be...
