Player Review

82 - Rare
1.0
Spanish Fraud
By Jamie1Z4, 11-10-2020

For a player who is worth 35k, I was expecting a player who could zoom down the pitch, breeze past defenders and score a lot of goals. None of those expectations were met with Rodrigo.


Pace: 90 ACCELERATION and 91 SPRINT SPEED are a total myth. I found Rodrigo constantly getting outpaced by way slower payers and that's not just defenders. Because of this, I found myself passing the ball off t someone else rather than actually trying to sprint with Rodrigo because I knew that he would get outpaced no matter what. I'm not even exaggerating when I say this but someone like Lo Celso or Deli Alli felt a lot faster than Rodrigo.


Shooting: Because of Rodrigo not being fast enough to make it into the box, I never had much of a chance to shoot with Rodrigo. The 2 goals in 13 games was the real nail in the coffin that his card is way overpriced. Rodrigo misses chances like he probably misses breakfast in the morning. Too many chances going wide or over the bar or even hitting the woodwork.


Passing: One of the attributes that I really liked about Rodrigo. Because I was always passing with Rodrigo, it was the only attribute that was used and it felt really good. About 98% of the passes went to the player I wanted it to go to which is really good considering how stupidly bad passing is in FIFA 21.


Dribbling: 80 AGILITY and 74 BALANCE doesn't sound too bad right. WRONG! Turns crazy slow and felt really heavy on the ball. Just his dribbling in general wasn't up to par and thats just not good enough for the price tag that he is worth.


Defending: N/A


Physical: Not a very agile player and not a strong one either. I constantly found Rodrigo getting pulled away from the ball like it was nothing.


End Review: Nothing about this card gives me any sort of wow factor apart from his passing which is abnormally better than majority of the midfielders in this game. If you are thinking about picking up Rodrigo, you might want to consider picking up a Michael Antonio who i thought was way better than Rodrigo. Hope this review was helpful and thanks for reading.

Absolutely worth the time and coins

Chances are, you're here because this card interests you, but you're not sure if you want to spend the time and effort at launch to either snipe the card or drop as many coins into buying him as he's worth (an 81 for 18k at launch!?). I get it, because I felt the same way and said that if he wasn't worth it, I'd just eat the coin tax. Let me tell ...

Very nice card

Sniped him when he was extinct at 18k, decided to try him out alongside Jesus as a ST.Absolute class player - his pace is electric, shot power feels like 99 with his left, his right foot doesn't feel like a 3*, more like a 4*, doesn't really lose the ball that much. Absolute steal for 18k if you can get your hands on him. (This is with a basic, with a finisher or hunter he would be overpowered)

a bargain for coins

i packed this guy early on and my god did he impress, his pace literally ends defenders. he will easily pull away from defenders. and his shot does not let him down. i have a team worth close to 700k and even now i bring him of the bench around the 65th min. with both a prem based and spanish nationality he should be easy to tie in with most teams.
