5.0

Roberto Carlos is worth the effort!!!

By Dekayman, 20-11-2019

When ICON Swaps were released and I was going through the challanges I definitly wanted to go for Butragueno because of its pace, shooting and 5* weak foot. BUT then I changed my mind and was going for R.Carlos and Nesta to get a solid defensive line. To me it was clear to first aim for R.Carlos because back in the days I loved to see him play and his left foot was not from this planet (I'm a left foot player as well :D). But now let's talk about his abilitys.

I play him in a 4-1-2-1-2 (2) formation as LB with Militao, Lenglet and Walker on defense. I was pretty hyped about his pace and he didn't disappointed me at all. For most LBs like Robertson, Angelino and Roussillion it's nearly impossible to get after a fast RW when you don't have a perfect positioning. But R.Carlos is fast as hell and he doesn't get only after the attacker he gets the ball as well so easiely. I really love his tackling style and how he runs. The only thing I could complain about him is his high rated attacking work rate. Sometimes when you go forward R.Carlos runs down the line like he is a LW (I always use player instructions to let my LB and RB "Stay back while attacking").

In fact you only need 11 ICON Swaps itmes R.Carlos is really worth the effort and you should aim for him if you wanna upgrade your defense. I really think he is the first player I will set in my starting 11 for the rest of FIFA 20.

R. Carlos-"first choice"

What can i say, R. Carlos is a man of "firsts" for me. Like for many, he is my first icon in F20. He blew me away so much in just a handful of games that made me write this review - which is also a first to me - so please be kind.As most of you probably i struggled immensly on what kind of icons select from Swap (chapeau EA: this is great as no one wants to see all the same opponent squads throughou...

Roberto Carlos

HES EVERYWHERE

This guy is exceptional. like i said he is everywhere, he controls the left side of the pitch running back and forth all by himself. One second you attack with him next second he is back in defense making a tackle. you probably wouldn't even need a LM or LW. He is super fast with the ball at his feet that players cant touch him. But one thing stood aside from the rest of the pros about him, his Free Kicks. We all know how d...
