Player Review
90 - Flashback SBC
Wow, what a player! I did this guy right when he came out, and I've used him in nearly a month now. 400 games, 200 games, 200 assists. Wow.
I use him as a RM in a team (4-4-2) where I have Neymar on the LM also, so to players that are basically equal, and they are, indeed!
Ribery is very agile, and can come past any defenders with just using the left stick dribbling probably, he does the stepovers like they were never nerfed. He's pace is what you expect, very quick. I feel like he has better psychics than what it says on the card, he can easily hold players off the ball, and even win the ball back sometimes against very psychical players, I think it's he's body type & stock that makes him feel more psychical than what it says. He's passing is just insane, no matter where you are on the pitch, he will do a long pass all over across the pitch like it was nothing. Ribery's shooting is what makes him stand out compared to Neymar, I would say: this man's shooting is out of this world. In school Ribery never learned what a weak foot is, and I actually prefer he's left foot over he's right foot even do it says he's right footed on the card, as I also play him as a RM, I score all of the goals with he's left foot. Actually the only difference between he's right & left foot is that the mechanics in the game wan't let him perform an outside of the foot shot with he's left foot. If you angle him up to a finesse shot perfectly, he forgets that he doesn't have the finesse trait, and perfectly strikes it up in the corner, whether it's he's left or right foot.
I don't think he's overpriced either because you can't really set a price tag on 5* 5* as there are only seven players in the whole game who has it, and Neymar & him are the only wingers that has it.
Conclusion: You shouldn't replace Neymar with Ribery, because they are basically the same player, but if you can fit these two guys in to a team together: you are gonna dominate EVERY game on the wing side.
