Player Review

I used Reinier in a 5-3-2 formation for 10 games after completing his objectives, and he was worth my time and more. It took me about 2 days, and about 7 ours worth of playing time to obtain this card, and I must say that I was much helped by this community. So because of this, after I got my 6 wins, I gave the win to all my opponents, and I suggest that you do the same. Now, onto the review. As a div 4, and gold 2 player, I can say much about how he performs against elite tier opponents, however against gold players, he will win you the game.

Main Attribute : Shooting

As the title says, I do not believe that he has a 4*wf. With 97 curve and 97 shot power and finishing with a hunter, his finesses are incredible. Left or right foot, he finishes everything. I'm not sure what about him makes it this way, but his shots are also the only ones that don't get AI blocked by Varane. He has been the only card, other than FB Rooney last year, that I have felt comfortable shooting from ridiculous scenarios in. With a hunter, his shooting is essentially maximised, so it doesn't surprise me how he finishes everything. His long shots are also brilliant, nestling in the corners constantly, id compare them most to FFS Jones.

Pace:

He doesn't have any type of custom animations in game, and so he wont feel quick like an Mbappe, but that doesn't mean he wont outpace everyone on the pitch. You may not notice just how blisteringly quick he is due to his running style, however he did body then outpace headliners Lozano one game, proving to me that the 99 pace with a chemistry style is in fact correct.

Passing:

I have used the likes of Ronaldinho, and Neymar as the playmaker striker before, and he is on par with both of them. his through balls are always perfect, and short one-two's are never amiss. It is a whole new standard to have such a complete striker like him. If you like strikers with reliable passing, you will love him. I believe he could even play CAM with an engine.

Dribbling:

Here is what I would argue as being the weakest point of the card. By no means is he a bad dribbler, not at all, he still has the close touch dribbling skills to work in tight spaces, but he wont feel smooth on the ball. His eight and body type are what do this for him, if he was 5'8 with this dribbling, he would feel Neymar esc, however he just doesn't. The 4*sm and 93 agility are more than enough to compensate, however. Skill moves come off well wit this card due to the flair trait, and the ball doesn't seem to stray to far away from him after a scoop turn or berba spin.

Defending:

Largely irrelevant due to the fact that I have him on stay forward, however, in the few situations where i manually pulled him back he was brilliant at pushing player off the ball. I also use press after possession loss, and so when losing it in the attacking third, he was always first to recover it and put me on the front foot again.

Physicality:

Again, here he was brilliant. For a card that is responsive, you don't usually expect a high level of physicality, or a physical presence, but there is no doubt in my mind that he has one. For a 6'1 player, He feels incredibly strong, e is the same height as Auba in game, and yet you would never believe it. He can easily shield the ball from the likes of Varane and Van Dijk, and the has the dribbling to turn them inside out. When recovering a lost ball, it is also great as he can easily body people. Another great advantage is that despite his 99 pace, Varane will always catch up to him on the through ball, and that's just Varane, but he has the strength to hold him off and then score.

Conclusion:

I spent 7 hours of my time getting this card, and I have no doubts that it is worth it. Th FFS academy objectives were one of my favourite features from last year's game, during my favourite promo of the year. This year, these objectives and the community are the only things that got me through this bullshit gameplay. For a card that i think would be between 350-450k on the market, I can't complain. With what feels like a 5*wf, and insane stats across the board everywhere else, it is incredible. On the 60th minute, I tend to substitute in freeze Hazard, who I was lucky enough to pack . As a green link, they are incredible, one is incredibly responsive and one has a huge physical presence, and both are rapid and finish everything. So, to finish, an easily linkable card, with insane stats a a 5*wf, for less games than a WL, you would be crazy to miss him.
