90 - Icon

5.0

The Best CDM besides Viera or Gullit

By jdhcjsk, 23-01-2021

So when I first saw this card come out for Icon swaps I knew I had to do him. I'm a div 5 player about to be div 4, and Rijkaard has helped to change the entire dynamic of how I play. I play him as a CM in the 4-4-2 with Capa. I use a shadow on him to help boost his pace, and he is insane. When I first got him I was a little unsure of how good he was going to be, but after about 3 matches I started to get used to how he plays. With a shadow on him he is able to get up and down the pitch and act like Box to Box midfielder, and 99% of the time he is bodying people's ST and CAM's like they are non-existent. his vision is one of kind, and it seem like he is finding passes to open players that I never even saw. even though he has 72 agility and 54 balance don't let that discourage you from using him, because in-game they feel a lot higher. in custom tactics I have him on stay back while attacking, in which case it is very nice because If I move one of defenders up to try and get the ball he automatically backtracks into whatever defensive position I just left open, which really helps if I screw something up.

Icon Swaps Review

In the linked squad, I change the formation in-game to a 4-3-3 (2) formation with Rijkaard as the CDM. I originally had the 83 Benjamin Andre in that position, who was amazing for me, but as soon as I saw Rijkaard was available for icon swaps, I had to get him into the team. Please note that I'm not a great player (Div 4 rivals, generally Gold 3 in Weekend League) and thus will probably mostly face much we...
