The Real RAUL

By Massi20889, 31-12-2018

I did the SBC for Raul Prime and I want to spend some words about him. What to do you expect from him? GOAL!

He is a scoring machine, like the Raul in real football, he can create gol from himself by dribbling and shoot or he can score through assist because its movement without ball are amazing.

I play him as a ST in a 4-2-3-1 with Messi at central CAM and Dembele IF and Di Maria IF at wide CAMs, Raul can play football and brilliant passing with them and when he is in the last 25 mt he becomes a real monster.

Since the Price is similar to CR7 (I had him in Fifa 18) i would like to compare Raul to him:

SHOOTING: its shot power and accuracy is unbelievable, its almost gol every time you shot. Its finesse shot are perfect, even without timed finishing. Volleys and Heading are very very good and accurate. This year I have tried Baby Crespo, Suarez, Messi and Rivaldo but the shoot of Raul is better. I think here he is similar to Cristiano. In this category the most amazing stat is positioning, if you look at what he does without ball and pass him the ball with the right timing it is easy goal. 10/10

PACE: he isn't Sane or Douglas Costa, so don't expect to run like an horse with the ball, but his speed and acceleration are sufficient to gain some advantage on the opponent CBs and shoot without pressing. I think CR7 is faster. 8/10

PASSING: his vision and short passing are amazing, he can create a lot of chance by passing and if you like to play with short passes and a sort of tiki taka he is perfect. I think here he is better than CR7. 9/10

DRIBBLING: great agility, great ball control and dribbling. If you are 1vs1 near the box you can do everything with him. I think here he is similar to CR7 but for those that like to skill maybe CR7 is better given that he has 5 star skill and Raul has 4 star skill. 9/10

PYSICALITY: the strong is sufficient to protect the ball and to resist against CBs when you run with the ball for shooting. Clearly he isn't Vieri or Trezeguet so the strong isn't a Pro. The elevation is very good, he can shoot with heading even when marked by the top CBs if the time of jumping is good. 8/10

So what to expect from him? A top 5 pure ST of FIFA, with CR7, Eusebio, Ronaldo and Henry. He is very complete and easy to manage, a real game changer because he can score out of nowhere and he can decide games.

Raaaauuuuuull!!!! The war horse

He is totally worth for every penny spent . You can feel the "Prime" in this card . Pace , Dribble , Shot is way above the stats mentioned . He can score with any foot and any shot ( Long range thunderbolt, Finnes inside and outside the box , low driven , Bazooka from middle of the pitch ). Bout him for 1.65 mil and used in weekend league 12 matches played 21 goals 9 assist . He was there to save me in many of the crucia...

Raul - The Spanish Armada

Where to begin? Well as an opening statement I would like to say, how is this guy not considered to be one to the top tier icons?!? I picked up Raul on the recommendation of a friend who explained that he had just been sexually assaulted by him in game. Paraphrasing of course. So after having just sold Prime Crespo and having had 400k sat in the bank anyway I decided to purchase Raul. I started out cautiou...

RAUL! The Magical Left Foot

Since the beginning of Fifa I've been wanting to do an Icon SBC of a ST.. and after looking at all the choices, I thought its gonna be either him or Butragueno as both looked very good.. When his SBC dropped I immediately did the loan to try him out and after having 20 games with him I can defo say he's on of the best STs I've ever played with so lets get to the review.
