PIM Rivaldo

By ImTheDevil, 18-05-2020

Alright, this is my second player review here on Futbin, yet I wasn't that excited about it compared to the one about FB Boateng.

Since I had the coins, and i wanted a revamp on my midfield, I went for moments Rivaldo, since he is a player I really used to admire back when he played. I picked his base icon from the Icon Swap 1 and I can say that he lasted long enough. He carried me from the start of this year until he became unuseable due to the meta. Needless to say, I expected a LOT from him, and unfortunately, he fell short of my expectations.

I played him mainly during Weekend League, and some rivals matches (I also used him at squad battles but I don't include these stats here). I used him at CAM, with a formation of 4-2-3-1. I changed my instructions, because of the Med/Med, and in the end it didn't bother me. I also applied him an Engine chem style, to boost Pace, Passing, and mostly Dribbling, beacuse his Balance was too low.

Passing: Starting off, his passing was nowhere near what he stats showed. Average. Passes were not powerful and he could'nt pass anywhere unless he was looking directly at someone, and he could'nt manage to pull off any good through balls. Not to mention passing from quite weird positions, he would always fail them.

Shooting: Here, i was actually satisfied. He could shoot from anywhere, and he would always score bangers. His 2WF was no big deal, he would always find a way with his left. Finesse shots and long shots were exceptional.

Pace: He actually felt really slow, but sometimes he would manage to pull off some sprints.Still disappointing. If you told me to guess his pace stats according to his gameplay, I would say he has around 85 pace.

Dribbling: This was the biggest let down of this card. He was so hard to turn, he felt like he had no agility most of the time. Also ball control was disappointing, he would fail to get the ball to his feet after passing him the ball with a simple pass.

Defending: N/A

Physical: He actually showed more strength than his card shows, but his aggression let me down most of the times. Stamina was alright (just a friendly reminder that I had special instructons for him so that he wouldn't move too much).

In conclusion, it isn't worth the coins. You can pay much less to get someone else and perform much better than PIM Rivaldo. Thanks for the read, Futbin community.

Shooting is amazing
Stamina is alright, he can last 90 minutes easily. (with custom tactics)

Passing is average, there are many better passers than him, and for much less coins
Dribbling is disappointing, he can not do as much as his card shows
Not really a con, but his 2WF may sometimes be irritating. He will almost always use his left foot though.
Price is NOT WORTH, guys. You can find better alternatives.

Very dangerous Left foot

I believe everybody will look away from this card because of his weak foot. But in game, it really wasn’t a big issue because he can use his left very well. In fact, it’s beautiful to watch the result of the player creativity of pulling a unique animation.The key stand out that is absolutely top class is his ability to produce...
