Baby R9 (GAMECHANGER)
By StevenRDG, 29-11-2020

Hey guys,


So I opened up my base icon pack and was lucky enough to pack this fella. I went crazy. Anyways, popped him in to my squad immediately and put an engine chemistry style on him, which did him right. First game he scored a hattrick. I was amazed by his pace and dribbling but especially by his finishing. You get in the box and get a shot on goal and trust me, its going in. Anyways another thing I liked was his attacking positioning in the box, he always gets away from his defender and gets himself into a good position. He also plays for the badge, he's won back the ball for me a couple of times against strong defenders. The only thing i missed was the 5* 5*, but oh boy was his weak foot good. It felt like 5*, im not kidding. I played my last 5 weekend league games with him and he scored 11 goals. I read other people saying he's overpriced but I dont think so, he's incredible, he wins you games.


Pace

9/10, let him make his run and he will beat every defender with pace, skill moves like bridges work well with him, there are faster players though.


Shooting

10/10, I've never seen the finishing ability this guy has. Best i've ever used in this category. The finesse shot trait is great too.


Positioning

9/10, great attacking runs and great in the box, just weird workrates and tends to drift wide even when you put him on stay center, oh well.


Passing

8/10, better than I expected and better than stats suggest, good through balls and good enough for a striker, just dont try anything crazy.


Dribbling

9/10, gosh did i like his dribbling, i expected a clunky feeling but I was wrong, with an engine he has great dribbling and he is really hard to get off the ball, sprinting fake shots really work with him. I liked his agility and balance. His hold up play is great.


Physical

8/10, great strength, hard to get off the ball, stamina is a bit low but you can use him 90 minutes if you dont sprint with him all game. Jumping isnt really good but oh well, he's not very small.


Game changer

10/10, this guy wins you the hard games, give him one shot and he'll score. What a player, scores when you need him most.

  • Pace (I boost it with engine)
  • Shooting (especially finishing and weakfoot)
  • Dribbling and physical combination (good hold up play0
  • Decent passing, better than stats suggest.
  • 4* 4* even though his other cards have 5* 5* I think 4* 4* is still a pro.
  • Plays for the badge, can win back the ball,
  • Workrates and wide drifting (stay central instruction doesnt seem to work)
  • Passing could be better but its fine.
  • Stamina (can play for 90, but not 120.)
  • Jumping, oh well, isn't that important.
  • Missing the 5* 5* but I feel like his weak foot is 5*.

What a player he is!

Hey guys, i don't write reviews often, just when i really love a player. I was searching for the right striker that is constantly good enough to carry my games.I am a trader and decided to put my coins into just one player for my 4 mio after 3 weeks.I tried so many meta players like Mbappe, Torres, Henry, Cantona, CR7, Rashford, Son and just Mbappe was fine for me.After some games with mbappe i really w...

Baby R9

He's good, but not as good as you'd hope him to be. That's the best summary I can give you on this card.It's a legendary name in football. R9 el fenomeno. Fast, skillful and deadly from anywhere in the box. Unfortunately, his baby card doesn't live up to his former glory.His pace definitely doens't feel like it's 94. I've put a hunter on him, I've left him on basic and tried finisher (more later). T...

Il fenomeno non tradisce

Semplicemente devastante,una carta mostruosa, l'ho preso vendendo tutti i calciatori che avevo per puntare su di lui e se potessi tornare indietro farei altre 100 volte la stessa scelta.Il giocatore che più ha fatto la differenza per me in FIFA 21, al momento l'unico che ho provato in grado di "ridicolizzare" i vari Varane Gomez Van Dijk e co.
