Close Control Dribbling is key

By JJFIFA989, 05-07-2020

The important thing to understand with this card is his Close Control Dribbling. He doesn't dribble like most cards. Sancho and Messi dribble similar. They keep the ball close to their feet and can't bomb past a fullback like a Dembele, Mertens, Mbappe etc. even if you give them 99 in both pace stats. The close control though makes this card an outrageous central CAM. He has everything IG that I want in that position. Does he play to his stats? He honestly does. You feel the insane shooting IG. His twists and turns on the edge of the box are majestic. His strength is definitely noticeable - can shrug off a number of players shoulder to shoulder, although don't try and body VVD off the ball for obvious reasons. I cannot stress enough with his dribbling type, to play this card at central CAM. Not out wide, not at ST. Play him CAM. If you need a wide CAM and want to stretch the play, get in behind, bomb down the wing etc. get Dembele.

- His dribbling as a central CAM (not out wide)
- Phenomenal shooting on both feet
- Really nice passing for a CAM - beautiful interchange of passes with a ST even without a chem boost (I played with Marksman)
His movement. I really liked the way he would play off a ST. The interchange of passes in a pass and move attack is sublime.

- The strength. For a little man, he holds his own and can shrug off challenges when you try and make space

-The biggest con could be the dribbling type if you're unprepared or want a speed merchant to bomb down the wing. He keeps the ball close to his feet and twists and turns. If you want a rapid winger/wide CAM to blitz down the wing, get Dembele or Mbappe

-The height could be a slight issue, particularly if you play him at ST. VVD, Boateng etc. will body him off the ball just due to their sheer size.

-No shooting traits would be a VERY minor con. His finesses so far for me have been fantastic but I'm presuming the trait will help his accuracy over the long run.

-The price and the links. He's well worth the coins IMO but its a lot to put in for an untradable player. Good links, but he might not fit in everyone's team.

Fenomenal

Ribéry is a solid 9.9/10, I used Promes before him and he's definitly an upgrade. I think Ribéry is better at CAM than LW tho.I've used him as CAM and LW, he's good in both positions but I seem to see him way more often when he's at CAM, but I think that is normal, the only downside is the stamina he loses on both positions, I didn't use him as ST since I have TOTY mbappe, but I think using him as...

Frank Ribery best non Icon Striker ?

First of all, i have to say that Francky is an unbelievable Striker. His first touch and dribbling is absolutely high level. His Finishing is good but not the cleanest. I tried many of strikers this year like Dalgish Prime, Butra Prime, Euse Prime, R9 middle and I have to say that Ribery is not far away from Eusebio. My rank in the Weekendleague is Elite 1 and I am playing in Divison 1 ...

Ribery is back

I used Ribery in a 3-5-2 next to jovic, OMG lets me say guys He is insane.His shots fly in the back of the net.His dribbling feels like 99 messi on steroids. Ribery pace actually feels like 97.His passing is like xavi in his prime. And weird enough is physicality Better than I expected. Even His aggression is actually insane.
