89 - Record Breaker

4.5

Prime Icon Level for a fraction of the price.

By Darvos, 29-12-2020

When this RB card came out, I knew I had to try it. David Silva is pretty much an icon in modern football, and I had been toying with getting his NIF in my team for a while, just because of how great he is IRL. Having played him predominantly in a RW/RM/RAM position, I can say he is by far the best player I have used in this right sided position in FIFA21, and he is on par with Messi.

His dribbling is silky smooth, and he really does slip through defenders. His close contact allows him to drive through defenders and set up fantastic chances ro even score great goals. His shooting is unreal with Hunter, and he scores all types of goals, tap-ins, finesse, bangers, even weak footed goals dont feel too bad either. Physically he is a little weak, but his good balance and close control don't really make this too much of an issue. His pace is deceptively fast, in particular his turn of pace and acceleration. Game after game he leaves Mendy for dust, and if Mendy is able to close in, a quick skill move, stop and go, or one-two and he is free again. His passing is probably his best asset, through balls seem to find their runner most games, while his ability to pass under pressure is unmatched.

How he goes for under 150k coins is beyond me. Worth it? If you run a La-Liga or Spanish team, he is a must-buy!

David Silva RB is Insane

As a comfortable Gold 2/1 player what can I say apart from that this David Silva is amazingly cracked. I have been using him as a striker as he has great dribbling, shooting and good enough pace with hunter. I'm use to Inaki up top so 2 * WF wasn't a worry.His left foot is a wand and brings back memories of Silva in the 2013/14 season. Dribbling past players with ease, pinpoint passing an...

Nice 2 Play

Buyd this guy for the Weekend League. He started his journey at 5-5 standings (or something like that), ended with 17-8 (so with D. Silva i run 12-3 in 15 games). Hes playing CM with Hunter as the offensive part next to Llorente.If you expect him to be the Game Changer youre maybe right. He got the instinct to go ahead in the offensive room in the game. His Ball Control and Dribbling is huge, his shooting with his le...
