Best Left Foot On The Game
By OleForPresident2020, 21-04-2019

I first acquired this card when I was getting tired of my prime Zola and was searching for a fitting replacement. When I saw Rivaldo (and his 900k price tag at the time) I decided to try him out. At first, he didn't quite fit well with the team. I felt as if he has about 70 pace and his shooting was nothing to be amazed at. THEN I TRIED LONG SHOTS. I'm not a player that uses many long shots, but boy, this Rivaldo can shoot from range. On his left, from the edge of the box, Rivaldo hits the top corner every time. He has even scored a few headers for me, and is solid in 1-on-1 situations, although nothing to be marvelled at. I ended up doing his SBC for the packs (from which I got nothing, typical) and have continued to use his as a first-choice LF in my team ever since. I have never had much of a problem with stamina, and playing with him doesn't become repetitive or tiresome because he can always surprise you with that 30-yd finish on his left that really shouldn't be possible. To summarise in a review type way, he is really well rounded and a good bet for a high-budget LF, the only problem being a large amount of alternatives, although Rivaldo is still a favourite of mine!

-Long shots on the left foot

-Strength: For an LF he is remarkably powerful

-Penalties: He has never missed to this day

-Pace (with the right chemistry style) he can get in behind

In general his stats are very solid and well rounded, with decent agility/composure

Ah, the ol' weak foot. I think weak is an understatement. The 2* weak foot means that you must, and I stress 'MUST', always shoot with his left. His Kryptonite is when you have a decent chance with his right and he scuffs it all the way into row Z.

#BEASTMODE

Firstly... Always take untradable packs from rewards. I was lucky enough to pack an 85 rated Icon the same day this was out. With my insane luck continuing I managed to complete this SBC challenge with players from my club +250kI then packed Aubamayang. So in total this cost me 30k to complete!

The agile beast

Right boys, I'll try keep this simple. Saw this SBC and thought, you know what, that's cheap for a player of that quality. I was lucky enough to pack Aguero, D silva and vertongen in the packs which got me back about 280k so the SBC in all cost me about 580k which is class. I'm bery unlucky atm, on a bad streak, BUT even in thos awful games, Rivaldo is bossing it. I use him in CAM and I have used him as a RS and lone strike...

More than I expected!

First of all, I want to state that it isn't an icon that fits elite 1 players and higher He's kind of a Bale 2.0 pretty predictable because of his weak foot, anyway I decided that fuc* it I ain't gonna give up to this fear of having an untradable item, and I'm not regretting it gold 2 thanks to this guy my first gold this FIFA like the title states I expected to be predicted and blocked every tim...
