90 - Icon

5.0

The one and only R9

By thijzz97, 11-11-2018

So I never wrote a review in any kind but this card was defenitely worth writing one. I play fifa since fifa 07 and ultimate team since fifa 12 so I know the dynamics of fifa and fut. I played on Xbox but got the Playstation from a friend so I could play with his beast team (around 5 mil coins) (see link). I had the oppurtunity to shuffle around the team and buy/sell some players. I started playing a weekend league with henry ((90) and CR7: I wanted to play 4-3-3 Attacking /4-2-3-1 when in defensive and played Henry as a cam behind CR7. He just didnt work for me. I love Henry but his 90 rated card just did not perform: slow, not very strong and just not fitting my playstyle. So I decided to go for 90 rated stoichkov. Man what a card he is at CAM. I think he might be the most underrated icon but makes him cheap so I wont complain. But if you have 1.2 mil lying around: just buy this guy.

Although I loved the CR7-Stoichkov combo I wanted to try a very expensive striker so I came up with the Ronaldo-Ronaldo combo. I played R9 at striker (90) and CR7 at cam.. and man this guy is just a Monster: His shooting is insane (although he sometimes miss sitters) but his dribbling is outrageous. Just dont look at the aggression stat; its bullshit. When he runs with the ball and comes in contact with the defender somehow 9/10 he will get away with the ball and the attack will continue.

One other very very amazing aspect about the card is how op the LB (L1)- Fakeshots are. He can do like 5 in a row and no-one catches him. Another thing; the 5* 5* combo is ofcourse a 4* 4* for the 90 rated card: dont care about that: his shooting with his left foot is as good as with his right. Remember that when buying R9 94 you spent more than 2 times the amount for the 90 rated card and you could easily buy like a Eusebio of Stoichkov for that. So really dont hesitate and try this guy: you wont regret it! I scored 48 goals in 28 games with him. Where ronaldo is 122/136

Pace 9.5/10: This guy runs away so easily by defenders: he has the trait try to beat defensive line and for the first time ever I really noticed it: his runs are so good and if you press l1 (lb) he always makes good runs into the space.
Dribbling 10/10: The dribbling of this guy is nuts: I know it only says 91 but dont care about that: the fact that he is relatively tall and strong but has the dribbling like that is so fluent makes him so hard to stop.
Shooting 9/10: Okay its not the case that literally every shot he takes hits the back of the net: he misses some but he also scores some inpossible volleys etc. IMO every player misses some shots also CR7 just because of the mechanics so for me his shooting was incredible.
Skills 10/10: Im not a skiller okay.. I almost never use skills but with this guy: just do some weard stuff with the right joystick and he will do the rest... absoluetely insane how fluent he comes out of skill moves as well.
Passing 8/10: I know he has relatively low passing. but as striker its not really necesairy to give perfect passes. However even with the true balls on my wingers (lucas and hazard) I found him to have very nice passing.

Stamina: 6/10: after the 75 min he starts to be somewhat more invisble. Just make sure to score all the goals before that and make your oponents Rage quit ;)
Aggression: For some this would be a con. For me it didnt effect him. Found him to be really strong and didnt notice the low aggression. So I just put it here for you: for me it was not a problem!
