Player Review

86 - Icon

3.0

Rijkaard, worth it?

By sp4rry, 07-04-2020

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.

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.
