Player Review

84 - IF
3.5
Maradonny
By egmundo95, 19-11-2019

I needed a solid Eredivisie CM/CDM to link Neres and Bergwijn and van de Beek was the best option. For his price, he didn't dissapoint. Before I changed my team, I've used IF Naingolan (85) and Witsel as cdm's. Compared to those 2, van de Beek can hold his ground. I must say that Naingolan was superior in everything besides winning headers. Van de Beek felt slightly more agile compared to Witsel but was a bit weaker and shorter.


The best thing about van de Beek is that he really didn't have any weaknesses except for his weak foot and skills, which aren't that necessary if you play with 2 cdm's. A nice bonus to his card is his shooting. He's deadly inside the box and he managed to get some great shots (and goals) from distance.


He has some decent strong links like Neres, Bergwijn, Dumfries, Tagliafico and other weaker links to Dutch players like Wijnaldum and Frenkie, so if you like to play with some Eredivisie players, he's a must have!

Not really any weaknessess

Cheap

Great finishing from in and outside the box

Great for linking Eredivise players

Besides his shooting, he doesn't really stand out with anything.

Besides ligue 1, every big league has a better CDM/CM option (Gueye is better but very expensive).

Van De Beek - Gullit in Disguise

After packing this guy untradeable, I had to fit him into my team as his stats looked super crazy!First of all I’d like to say that this review is based on 15 games of Rivals in Division 3 - this helped me to get a good idea of how he plays in game. I also used a Shadow chem style as I need maximum pace on my CDMs due to the hig...

Cheap must have

After 40 rivals matches (d4/d3), I can tell you that this guy is literally everywhere, I played him as a CDM in a 4-2-3-1 with Gattuso Baby, and he overshadowed him, I only saw him. He's tall, defends very well in hand-to-hand combat, but he has some gaps in interceptions, but his presence on the ground pardons him. He takes balloons of the head, resists the physical, and in addition he is good offensively. I played him too...

A top CDM

He's a very consistent CM/CDM, he always does his job and is always there.I wouldnt say he's in the top 3, but definitly in the top 5.For his price, he's a bargain.
