90 - Icon

4.5

A better Kante

By kingferone, 18-02-2019

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 cdm i had. I have to tell you he felt like another player, he can defend in the midfield alone, he is everywhere, he is physically a beast, 90 defending feels so good, interceptions and tackles are just superbe. Most of the time his cpu will get the ball automatically without your controls. Anyway, the thing that distinguishes Rijkaard from others cdms ,like kante, is passing. When Ngolo was on the ball you couldnt ever try a long passing or something too ambitious. Rijkaard has all the skills to do that, being a perfect "glue" between your defense and midfield PLUS he scored some crazy longshots.

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...

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?

Brought Rijkaard to bolster my midfield. I played him in a 41212 CDM and 4231 narrow CDM, and he did exactly what I brought him for.Broke up the play, intercepted everything, great composure when in possession and good passing. His agility and balance are bit low, but I for a CDM he is perfect for my squad. If you have the coins and are looking for a very good CDM.I recommend Rijkaard because you won't ...
