88 - FUT Birthday SBC

3.0

RodriGO or RodriNO?

By Kemeox, 26-04-2020

Right, so I had been saving my coins trying to purchase Shape Shifter Atal. As his price kept fluctuating, I decided against it. This card was released a couple weeks ago and I saw 5* WF and thought, "this is it chief". Lord Almighty was I mistaken. Don't get me wrong, I'd be a bit more frustrated if it did in fact cost me upwards of 200k to complete the SBC but I had a few cards which in turn made this roughly about 80k. Saying that, this card isn't even worth 80k. I had previously used moments Morales who I've now had to put back in my team for the Weekend League.

I've attached a link to the squad I use (yes, I know it's pretty trash. Looking to change this week) I swap to a 4-2-2-2 in game with Rodrigo & Gameiro up top. Realistically I only have Gamerio for chemistry reasons but he's been doing the job so I keep him on until half time. Rodrigo was meant to be my GOALSCORER but this guy can only score tap ins. I've come to realise that if you're above 5'11 on this game, your pace is nerfed. 94 pace feels like 83. Gameiro feels much faster in game @ 87 pace standing at 5'8. Rodrigo is weak. Lord is he weak. He is pushed off the ball constantly and has the touch of that guy out of Scary Movie with the weird hand. It's awful. Occasionally he scores an outside of the boot worldie but it's not enough to warrant him being in my team. Looks like I'm going to have to continue playing for Atal.

5* WF - due to composure, majority of shots inside the box go in like a laser.

Weak - is easily pushed off the ball. Stays on his feet due to good balance but what's the use in staying on your feet without the ball?

Dribbling - having previously used moments Morales, I thought these two would be comparable. Rodrigo turns like a 1996 Cheverolet Camaro - ask Doug Demoro.

Price - if you don't have players in your club already, this will cost you upwards of 200k and it is untradable. Not worth it in my opinion.

I really don't want to write this next part but I feel like you should know.

Pace - 94 pace is outrageous BUT... he does not feel like 94. Closer to 83. I personally believe it to be down to height.

Rodrigo - The La Liga striker we wanted.

Before we begin, this is my first review. But I feel compelled to write this as there is no accurate and detailed review done to date that does this player justice.Every year I play FIFA, I create my beloved La Liga squad and stick with it for the entire game. I have a preference for playing with players I watch and admire in real life rather than chasing META players, so you can imagine how ecstatic I...

WOW A NEW PREMIER LEAGUE STRIKER...WAIT A MINUTE

When I first saw the Rodrigo SBC, my first response was WOW a new Premier League Striker, that could be fun, glad to see Leeds United in the Premier League. Then when I came back to reality and realized that Leeds is still considered a Championship level squad for FIFA 20, I was a bit reluctant to complete the SBC, ESPECIALLY when it costs an 85 rated Squad to complete.But hey, it's September, we've got t...
