88 - Icon

4.5

Feels like a true Legend of the Game

By MrSchool, 29-10-2019

After applying amazon's sales strategy to the FUT market I have coins for the first time ever and got him for 650K as my 2nd Icon ever after being dissappointed with Shevchenko (88).

And let me tell you he is on a different level. His shooting and dribbling are superbe, his passing is great and he is quite fast. At first he felt not that fast, but he is with the ball just as fast as without it. Together with his god like acceleration he gets in shooting positions very easily. And that is where his finishing does the job. Especially the near post finesse shots produce goals 9/10 times - regardless of keeper positioning. Also his dribbling, especially rb drack back, turns, ball rolls and close space L1 movement are just soooo good. His passing his also good, played some nice (back-heel) through balls which came better than expected. His right foot was good as well - but not insane. He didnt do that many runs himself, but i use LB/RB anyway for all my plays. His positioning inside the box is great. Scored in almost every game and also very usefull in the build up.

His biggest weakness is his strenght and lack of aggression. Hawk did not help here. Gets pushed off the ball very easily and doesnt put up much of a fight when tackling defenders/ball shelding. That took some time to get used to. His pace is good, but is precessor (lucas moura) was noticably faster without the ball, providing more counterattacking opportunities. But with the ball he does not slow down and his great acceleration can create a lot of chances.

Will be keeping him for a while - fun to use and is a god in fifa 20. Seems underpriced to me compared to other Icons.

Mad early-game card

Bought him for 720k last week (PS4), since I see icons rising in the future. It was definitely a good choice to spend my money on Raul. He is scoring goals for fun and provides some nice linking options. Although he is not on the level of 1,5M+ icons (obviously), he is levels ahead of the defenders you´re facing at the moment. I can only recommend him. The price of 770k seems fair.

This card is a BEAST!

Let's talk about Raul. First this card is really versatile and he can play everywhere in attack but, for me, the best position to use him is ST. I use him as a ST in 4-2-3-1 and mostly in division rivals and fut champions and he is a beast, he can score from everywhere, he can do skills and strike with both feet and he can make long and rapid runs. The only flaw is the passing because sometimes it's not very precise, but al...
