Player Review
80 - Rare
One of the best players of his generation, coming back form retirement and joining his childhood club, mainly to help them during these hard times. And how incidentially, it is my favourite club and my favourite player of all time. So I had no choice but to use Arjen Robben his FC Groningen card for the whole game cycle.
I would love to brag about him being very good, having the pace like ramos knows he has, the dribble dortmund fans still cry about and the curve shot every goalkeeper still fears. But I would lie if i said that his current card would be a good representation of his capabilities.
But nontheless, it is the most fun card i have used in the last few fifas. Every time Arjen scores a goal, and I see his smile on his card at kickoff, my heart makes a little jump. But thats mainly my emotial connection I have with him, and is irrelevant for most of you.
As far as I am capable of it, if I look unbiased at the card, he isn't even as bad as you might think he is. With 82 shooting and 86 dribbling he can actually be of value for your squad. Ive scored multiple bangers from far outside the box, and dribbled past defenders with his amazing custom animation. With his 4 star skill moves you can also skill and cut inside like we all know Arjen Robben does best.
But of course the card has some downsides. Giving the ball deep is never smart with Arjen "running" after it, and the 2 star weak foot is of course a big pain in the back, but just dont use his right foot and you'll be fine.
In my opinion though, the card has a lot of potential with a fair upgrade. With his already good shooting and dribbling, what he only really needs is a big pace and passing upgrade and he will be godly.
