90 - Icon
So I don't see any comments or reviews about using this card as a CB. 95 rated with Anchor, and the added benefit of much higher than average passing and dribbling on a CB. Compare him to the highest rated icon CB, 94 Maldini, and I think I prefer Rijkaard.
I put him into a squad as a CM and change formations IG. 3 ATB with Frank, Pique, and Van Dijk. He's got the pace to cover the wing, the strength and tackling to cover the center, and mindblowing playmaking ability for a defender. Some long passes from the back catch my opponents completely off guard.
Even competing with Pique and Van Dijk for headers, he get's on the end of a few corners.
If you can fit him at full chem into your squad and play him at CB, there are not many better options in the game.
