Player Review
73 - Rare
Tuesday, March 16, 2021, at 7:39 PM. For the 81st time since I have him, my Romain Perraud scored. But for the first time in 450 games, my opponent asked me "How has a silver lb done that". What a nice question. And to answer him, I had to do a new review, four months after the first one. During this big lapse of time, EA released a lot of new events that would make Perraud outdated. And they were only half successful.
With 71 Pace, it became more difficult for me to put him in his natural position, at left-back. Because I still wanted to play with my favorite player, I decided to put Perraud at CDM, where the pace isn't the biggest thing. And what a decision it was! I play him in-game in a 4-2-3-1 next to Bruno Guimaraes, which have High/Med Workrate. So with his Med/High, I let Perraud going everywhere I need him, and that's what makes him so good ! He is literally everywhere on the pitch. When I'm attacking, it's common for me to see him asking for the ball in the opponent's area, and with 84 shot power, my man makes love without foreplay to the Goalkeeper, before going to get the ball in his net.
But unfortunately, sometimes he doesn't get the ball, and Perraud must return to defense. But it doesn't matter. With 87 Stamina, he could even afford to jog around the stadium during the match, his pulse wouldn't even rise. It's almost needless to say I never need to substitute him.
And defensively, I have to say that he is really great ! With Shadow, he has 82 Interceptions, 82 Standing Tackle, and 83 Sliding Tackle, which more than good tho. Is it a rocket that just stole the ball from Neymar ? No, It’s Perraud !
His dribbling is also a good point. He has 81 Balance, which means that he feels really smooth on the ball. With 3* Skills, he is able to do some good stuff, but nothing more, to be fair. If you want to do Elastico with your CDM, pass your turn.
Passing was also a con argument to put him at Left-Back. With 67 Long Passing, 1 third of long balls went off of the pitch, so I wasn’t really confident for making deep passes with him. But at CDM, it’s not really an issue. He can easily pass to my CMs or my Strikers.
Closing Words
What a classy player! I think he is proof that you can enjoy playing FIFA if you want to. Seriously, after nearly 500 games played with my favorite player IRL, I just only can say you do like me. Buy your favorite player of the club you support, doesn’t matter if he is Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Icon, and just play with him ! Make people knowing him, write reviews on him ! I’m sure he will be a game-changer.
Thank you for reading my review, you can read my first one if you didn’t read it yet, have a nice day and Allez Brest !
