Such a weird experience (van Nistelrooy)

By ingmaraz, 05-12-2018

I played van Nistelrooy alongside 91 Ronaldinho in a 4-1-2-1-2. He scored 40 times in 30 games and had 10 assists. His shooting was some of the best I've experienced in fifa. Volleys, screamers, finesse, within the box, did not matter. Everything went in. Headers were great too. So far so good huh?

His passing was not terrible, not great either. Simple short passes were fine. Also his 3* weakfoot was annoying, but yeah I mean you could dribble to his right foot and be fine.

BUT that is were the major problem is with van Nistelrooy. His dribbling is horrible. 3* skillmoves make him depends on quick turning etc. Now ofcourse I knew he wasn't going to be anywhere near my Ronaldinho but man.... This guy couldn't go past a tree. He was so clumsy. His strength also did not feel as high as his stats stated.

I enjoyed this card neverthless his right foot shooting is outstanding and I hesitated before selling him. I am not sure that was the right thing to do, but it is a weird card. Try it for yourself if you got 1 million spare coins. But if you don't, I wouldn't reccomend buying him as he could be very tricky.

Heading: wins a lot, played him with hawk. So jumping was boosted too

Pace: felt quick enough

My mind has been changed!!!!

Hi guys, so I wanted to shed some light on this card as it was one of my most anticipated cards coming into FIFA 19. I am a United fan born in 92 so was just a kid when Van Nistlerooy led us to an incredible 2002-2003 premier league title and more. You could say I am a little biased going into this review therefore, but please understand I am aware of the faults with this card and will be stating them in d...

The Ruud Devil (Ruud Van Nistelrooy)

So, I went out to test some Icon strikers, to see who were the best, and after reading some reviews and watching some videos I wanted now to use Ruud Van Nistelrooy comparing him to the other icons I used (Thierry Henry, Stoichkov, Van Basten, Butragueno, Raul, Lineker, and some more) (Reviews will be up when verified). My expectations for Van Nistelrooy by reading his stats were very OK, the reason being b...
