Player Review
92 - Icon
I was looking for a new striker to fit my first squad and thought I give this man a chance during the WL.
Well, where to start? I play him as right striker in a 4-1-2-1-2 in first half and if this is not as successful as I want it to be I usually switch to 4-2-3-1 in second half playing him up front.
As I was lucky enough to pack TOTY De Bruyne (I will never complain about my pack luck again) and did SBC Villa back in the days, I have a very decent front three to shine in every single game.
Raul is a clinical striker, no doubt about that. I would highly recommend him as he improves most of all squad I've seen in Fifa 20 so far. Speed and shooting is superb (Hunter chem) and his dribbling let you pass every defender you come up against. Last weekend he scored 16 Goals in 21 Games (had no time to play all 30 games) and assisted 17. A huge impact as you can see.
But there's his price... Don't get me wrong, you receive a top striker for your coins but I just can't give him a 5 star rating there bc Villa was like 200-250k and is nearly as good as this guy is.
Now you could say that there's no chance to do the Villa SBC at this time but give EA some time to re-release his SBC (and maybe for 100k or whatever)....
Conclusion: Raul is one of the best strikers I played with (significant better than 87 Butra, but I miss his 5* WF). Next to Villa and with DeBruyne at CAM these guys are unstoppable. But for this price you maybe find an Icon (or two) that suits your playstyle or your squad a little more. Nevertheless I give this guy a 5 star overall ranking for his outstanding performance during the last games.
Speed: 10/10 Hunter chem, no explanation needed
Shooting: 9.5/10 can do everything and loves to score
Passing: 9/10 as a striker his 89 short passing is perfect for those passes in and around the box
Dribbling: 10/10 look a defender! thank you, next
Def: -/- not needed
Physicality: 8.5/10 his 88 stamina won't let you down, could be a bit stronger but just run around every defender and you won't notice
sometimes his 4* weak foot let's you down a bit (if you're used to 5* players)
