Player Review

90 - UCL LIVE
4.5
The Name is Bond, James Rodriguez.
By Jerre17, 15-01-2019

So after 41 Games with this man, I´ve decided to write the first Review on this page instead of learning for my exams :D

I 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 sprint against the meta defenders like vanDijk or Varane but he´s still quick enough to be playable!


Shooting:

His shooting is just outrageous! He finishes almost everything around the box. His long shots are insane, even without using Timed Finishing!

The only Con for me might be his finishing 1s1 against the goalkeeper because he hits the post pretty often, at least for me.


Passing:

Well, its just awesome with his left foot. His vision is just so good that he can find even the smallest gap between the defending lines of your opponent!


Dribbling:

It´s so good! 88 Dribbling (because I am not using any chem style to boost it), and you can totally feel it! Ball control, dribbling, composure, this man has everything you need for a Cam!


Physical:

Well, his Stamina is pretty bad, so you need him to be subbed off in the second half. But it doesn´t matter if you have a good sub! I´m using Ibrahimovic for that.


Defending:

Imo it is underrated because he is very solid at defending in real life. Nonetheless, its no issue for me ingame because I´m not using him for defending. It might be a problem if you think about playing him as a Cm.



All in all, I would recommend him for that price! And if this guy gets one or two upgrades when Bayern advances against Liverpool. this card will just be even more awesome!


Thanks for reading and sorry for my English :)

James

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...

James Rodriguez (The Sniper)

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 ...
