i tried so many Cdms but this guy is a world class CDM he is everywhere on the pitch strong and good always intercepting the ball i got him from swap icons im glad i did, im using him with shadow he is beast he helped me alot in futchamp so if you cant buy his prime go for his base card he never let you down
strenght 88
intercepting & defending beast
composure 94
passing awsome
stamina (you dont need to sub him in 70th minutes use stay back)
pace
shooting
Got this guy for 5 tokens, because the grind is too much for me to do more.
Moving on: Rijkaard is a very very good player.
His Stature is enormous, so at the CDM position with a Shadow chem style he really does the job for me. I have a decent team, nothing spectacular but i must say he really shines when he gets the oppurtunity. I paired him with N'Golo Kante in a 4231 formation and they work like magic.
Other than his clunky-ness, there's pretty much nothing bad about this card
If you're thinking about completing the card, go ahead, you will probably like him. Just Don't expect him to be Vieira or Gullit
I rate him 9,5/10 performance wise and 10/10 for time spent completing him.
Interceptions and passing are the dominant Pros about him. Really long legs and big stature make him intercept most passes around him
Strength: cannot be pushed by most players
Pin-point shot passing, above average long passing
Composure: 94 ( i don't really know how this stat affects him but he is very cool when he has the ball, idk)
Tackling : rarely misses it
2 big cons ( not for me but can cause trouble for some) : Pace and feels clunky
His shooting is very average (cannot be played as CM or CAM)
I got this card from icon swaps a while ago and have been using him since then. For 5 tokens, he seemed a steal and played very well for the first 50 games or so, cementing his place in the team.
Since then though, he has been up and down in form, only playing consistently for a lack of a better option. The following review will be focusing mainly on the most recent weekend league where he played in a 4231 at CDM alongside Seedorf.
Overall, the team used was rather disappointing, but Rijkaard pulled his weight, unlike some of his teammates. I used him with the most defensive an best (in my opinion) instructions - stay back while attacking, cut passing lanes, cover centre.
With a lackluster 12 wins over the weekend, Rijkard was inconsistent at best, leading to many goals being conceded due to a lack of defense in the midfield, particularly looking poor against players such as Kante, Son and Mbappe.
But when he was good, he was very good, making consistent tackles and turning the match on its head with dangerous through balls to my pacey attack. His strength really helped and distracts from his very poor agility (64), balance (48) and stamina (75). And with the shadow, he felt quick enough, keeping up with Seedorf.
Unfortunately for him, Bakayoko just came out, and I just packed CDM Ferland Mendy from the Party Bag SBC, leading to the CDM spots being covered, leaving him without a place in the squad.
