Extremely underrated

By Jpants999, 03-12-2020

I used him in a futdraft originally and I was so blown away with how good he was, I bought him for 480k as soon as that fut draft ended. I feel compelled to review him because he is by far the most underrated icon in fifa. No one buys him or uses him and I didn't ever think to buy him too but after using him in that futdraft I need to spread the light on how good this guy is.

Basically he's very similar to 90 bergkamp except slightly worse finishing stats and he doesnt have a 4 star week foot: He's basically a peg-legged Bergkamp, but cheaper. Rivaldo is consistently overlooked in this game because of his 2 star week foot, which is somewhat fair. If you try to use his right foot to shoot you are not going to do well with him and he will dissapoint you. If you are good enough with skill moves and link up play where you can consistently give him good chances on his left foot, he will perform really well for you. Its as simple as that. Hes a really fun card to use, and with the maestro he has 99 shot power, 99 long shots, terrific dirbbling and passing stats too.

pace 9/10

for a cam hes awesome, he can get in behind if you time it decently well. Obviously hes no mbappe but his pace is usable for the meta.

shooting (9/10)

Finesse shots are unreal. As long as you shoot on his left, he will score bangers. His shot power is nuts as well. You you press B on his left foot on a good angle inside the box, you will score. Only downside is the weak foot, but like I said, hes agile enough to get the ball onto his left pretty well.

passing (10/10)

Terrific. Great vision and executes good link up play with both short, through balls, and long balls. Honestly once a player has 85+ ive never noticed a difference between a player with 85 passing and 99 passing (hot take) bad passes are caused by human error, not in game error.

dribbling (9.5/10)

One of the great parts of this card. Great agility (88) and he just glides around the pitch. for a 4 star skiller he can beat good defenders rather easily.

defending (i dont care)

physical (8/10)

most surprising part of this card. Hes tall, his stamina is honestly decent (def not a letdown) and his strength is 79. He wont get pushed off by players who shouldn't push him off, if that makes sense.

Overall I highly recommend him. If you want to find a good meta icon CAM for a reasonable price at this stage in the game (early December), look no further than rivaldo.

shooting (on left foot)

passing

surprisingly decent physical

weak foot (but you can work around this)

lack of 5 star skills

price will naturally decline over the game so if you buy him you will loose coins

Rivaldo (the guy who scores when he needs to)

Rivaldo is the best cam ive had in a long time. before i bought rivaldo i used bruno fernandes if (88), and i must say, rivaldo is the best cam i have ever played. he scores when i need goals, but he mostly start the goals, or assist them. i would say he is 100 % Worth the money (around 530k) although he gets a litlle tired in the 70-80 minute. hes absolutely sick when he has the ball, and with almost no effort, you can eas...

The left footed god

I usually don't write a lot of review but seriously after the way he is playing for me and not at is natural position (I play him RM in a 4-4-2) I had to do it.So I see the brazilian flag my heart start beating so goddam fast. CAM omg did I just pack ronny? When I saw my boy Rivaldo, I was disappointed, but I was wrong. He is amazing at RM. He can do everything. You guys need to give this guy a try. I know is 2 weak ...

Rivaldo

seriously underrated!!

I got him from my base icon pack... I wanted to cry if I'm being honest. I thought ill give him a try at st. to my surprise he is one of the best players in my team atm. I understand that people are put off by his weak foot but his strong foot has the best shooting of any card I've used all year.i would say use a hunter because it makes his pace and shooting unreal. if you get the opportunity to try him I'm telling you that...
