Player Review
90 - IF
Alright this will be my first review here so I’ll just try to be as precise as possible about what to expect from this card.
He kinda feels like a real life Ramos sometimes, good on the ball, composure is great when you need to move the ball with him.
When it comes to defending, he does his job when you need to stop an attack with a risk of getting dribbled, or in danger of being destroyed by someone’s Neymar or Mbappe... but the thing is, can he chase them? Not really. He might catch them 1 or 2 times, but he’ll mostly get left behind on a counter attack, which is kind of a problem when playing weekend league on games against very good opponents, or opponents who only play counter attacking tactics.
He can score headers and is very good in the air defensively, too.
Overall, he’ll be game changing for you if you are someone who likes defending a lot and keeping possession, and are very very careful about counter attacks. I got elite 3 on my weekend using Ramos, but he’s not my kind of player, to be honest, so I got Maldini with my rewards. In case you have doubts but can’t really afford Van Dijk (he might be faster than him), try to pair Ramos up with someone like Varane, someone you can use to track back very quickly and cut a counter attack. I like pressing a lot when I lose the ball, so he wasn’t my best option to do that, so that means that if you’re a bit more passive in attack, and wait for your opponent to attack you, he might suit your team, as his defending is great on 1 on 1s. Use him for penalties, it’s fun he’s as good as in real life.
Defending (when not chasing back an attacker)
Passing - he can play with your midfielders when keeping the ball
Dribbling - feels good on the ball, haven’t tried any skill moves tho lol
Physical - he’s good, not the strongest but what you need to defend
Shooting - penalties
Pace - call me whatever you want, we all know pace is important when playing against those great teams, players who love through balls, and dribblers. However, slap a shadow on him and you’ll be fine if you’re very good at defending, play your back line very deep, or your opponent is not very creative he he.
