This guy is exceptional. like i said he is everywhere, he controls the left side of the pitch running back and forth all by himself. One second you attack with him next second he is back in defense making a tackle. you probably wouldn't even need a LM or LW. He is super fast with the ball at his feet that players cant touch him. But one thing stood aside from the rest of the pros about him, his Free Kicks. We all know how difficult it can be to score free kicks in this game but this guy makes it look easy. If placed right Roberto Carlos will probably score every single free kick. Any way i would HIGHLY recommend doing him in icon swaps.

When ICON Swaps were released and I was going through the challanges I definitly wanted to go for Butragueno because of its pace, shooting and 5* weak foot. BUT then I changed my mind and was going for R.Carlos and Nesta to get a solid defensive line. To me it was clear to first aim for R.Carlos because back in the days I loved to see him play and his left foot was not from this planet (I'm a left foot player as well :D). But now let's talk about his abilitys.

I play him in a 4-1-2-1-2 (2) formation as LB with Militao, Lenglet and Walker on defense. I was pretty hyped about his pace and he didn't disappointed me at all. For most LBs like Robertson, Angelino and Roussillion it's nearly impossible to get after a fast RW when you don't have a perfect positioning. But R.Carlos is fast as hell and he doesn't get only after the attacker he gets the ball as well so easiely. I really love his tackling style and how he runs. The only thing I could complain about him is his high rated attacking work rate. Sometimes when you go forward R.Carlos runs down the line like he is a LW (I always use player instructions to let my LB and RB "Stay back while attacking").

In fact you only need 11 ICON Swaps itmes R.Carlos is really worth the effort and you should aim for him if you wanna upgrade your defense. I really think he is the first player I will set in my starting 11 for the rest of FIFA 20.

So there are some reviews here so I will be as short as possible. I'm an Elite player with a free2play account and i had to get creative to stand a chance vs PayCardFC(you can see my squad in description).Played fifa pro back in the days but not anymore. I played Carlos over 200 matches and tested him in every position except GK and he stands as one of my mains threats when i go online.

First of all in this fifa wingbacks are kind of super fast defenders that have to get the ball quick and have a decent pass.Carlos is not ideal because of his workrates H/M (even on stay back and agg interceptions he is not aggresive when coming to get the ball for me at least). That's kind of it. If you want a beast of a defender pick Zanetti and be done with the swaps. He is end game CB/LB/RB/CDM, but he lacks shooting!

Second - the most expensive players in the game are B2B midfielders because they need to have high attributes on all. So here is where Robi Carlos shines. He is an insane distance shooter, and even with his finishing at 77 you won't feel it like that in the box(played him striker many times and he bangs them) because of awesome 99 shot power 96 long shots and 88 curve (with maestro chemistry). He is fluid and very fast as everyone tells you and can defend like a beast cuz of that. He will be everywhere on the field if you let him on balance as a RCM (yes Right cuz he shoots with left). He usually has most interceptions in the game. The key on making the most of this card is knowing how to attack and when to shoot with him. IF Messi's left is the best for finesse, Carlos's left is the best for ripping the ball in the net from 16m+. He saved me more than once in WL vs that insane dropback defence from that range. (btw don't shot with his right, can score easy ones in the box with it but in rest it sucks). The week foot is manageable if you play him in RCM/RM/RW positions. He shines when he has to cut in and shoot. If you need more than 3* SM with a midfielder then you are doing something very wrong imho so I won't even mention it as a weakness.

3rd - there is only one chemistry that i recommend and that is Maestro(not in defense - there Anchor is best - no one will ever outrun you). He needs the long shot upgrade, the passing, extra dribbling is always good in high pace cards and THE FK UPGRADE. I'm not even lying he scored for me over 20 goals from FK in like 30 shots in WL. Once he moved his GK there and he had a defender too and still got in LOL. He is that great! Just practice them and you will love it. So Maestro everywhere in the middle! (Deadeye if you play him as a Striker but there are others good there because he has the WF and low composure!)

bobby was considered as an incredible offer on fut swaps. I decided to complete him, though i regretted my choice after 10 games. he loses too many 1v1s due to his tiny body and his pace isnt visible ingame. he is always off position and led me to conceding goald from the wing. I dont suggest buying him as i believe he isnt worth it at all. buy mendy, alaba, robertson, telles instead.
