Class, but a little behind the power curve

By veS1, 07-06-2020

As a huge Real Madrid fan I couldn't miss an opportunity to play with Raul. I've used his regular prime for over 500 games, so I have a pretty good picture of him. Now this Raul is better than his prime card, but not by much. Most noticeably his dribbling felt more responsive and his finesse shots were more clinical.

I used him as a ST in 4231 or left ST in 4-4-2. Now it's really hard to review this guy. One game he is an absolute machine, scoring everything. Another game he is very hard to dribble with and he will miss a sitter. Overall he wasn't bad for me, but I think I expected a little bit more. His card in FIFA 19 was much better, because dribbling wasn't that important and corners were a thing. Raul has amazing heading, but in FIFA 20 it is not noticeable.

I finished Elite 3 using this guy as my main striker, scoring 37 goals in 37 games. He is a class striker, but I think the TOTS power curve caught him a little too much. For context, last weekend I was using FB Di Maria as my striker and I enjoyed him more. 5* WF is just too important this year and I sometimes felt restricted with how bad Raul's right foot felt.

TL:DR: Buy him if you need links or you love Real Madrid/Raul. Otherwise I believe there are better cards in terms for value for money. Just get a TOTS Benzema or someone.

Shooting on his left foot
Hold up play and passing
General dribbling (however in bad gameplay he may feel clunky)
Positioning (one of the best ST in the game in this aspect)
Clutch moments (he scored a lot of last minute goals for me)

Shooting on his right foot (he missed some absolute sitters on his WF, It feels more like 3*)
Strength
Value for coins (get him if you need spanish links or you are a Madrid fan)

Raúl

Raúl. The undervalued striker.

Well, here I go.Raúl González Blanco is my idol, as I am a Real Madrid fan. He was my favourite player since i was a kid. I remember how i was crying at home when i saw in the news que was going out of Real Madrid to Schalke. In Madrid he won absolutely everything, he was a f***** beast of striker.It is shameful how Real Madrid treated Raúl. They did not even make a "goodbye" for him, just a press conferenc...

Raúl

The best Striker on Fifa

I packed this guy in my rewards a couple weeks ago and my word, the best striker I have used this fifa. I was afraid this guy was gonna be sluggish and just be another underwhelming icon when I packed him but he is insane. His finishing is second to only 3 players I have used this fifa however they are all either toty's or 10m+ on the market. He feels like he is floating when he is on the ball and his passing is incredib...

THE SPANISH RONALDO

Unbelievable he is quailty on the ball. His ability to score on the run is amazing, he is a bit slow turning but he can actually recover well with his quick passes to a faster player
