Player Review
88 - FUT Birthday
I should start by saying this is my first review I've ever done which should emphasise how good this card is.
So I was originally playing gold Ronaldo at ST in a 4-2-3-1 or next to puskas in a 4-4-2. He had a great record for me and was one of my favourite players that i used all year, but he started to fall off a little recently and was becoming more and more inconsistent. I was looking for an ideal replacement and having had a history with this card in past FIFAs decided id try him.
Now i also only play FUT Champions up to gold 3 as i don't like the gameplay and am always disappointed with rewards but im a div 1 player with 2250 sr plus i get elite 3 consistently. Using this card gave me the boost to play a whole weekend league and he carried my team through to elite
I hope you find the review useful and make sure to use a finisher to get the most out of this card.
To start with this card is incredibly responsive. Having been using Ronaldo for 600 games or more it felt like he was on something. In his first games he was unstoppable though i take into consideration my opponents were not the greatest he did the job and held his own against 5 at the back formations and sweaty defences.
Pace - everyone who plays fifa consistently knows how much of a nightmare this guy is at the start, hes rapid and with the 96 stat makes varane and baby rio struggle to keep up so not much to say there.
Shooting - Overall his shooting was brilliant, he makes runs every single time you start an attack causing issues and is clinical in front of goal. Shot power was great and his weak foot upgrade is extremely noticeable making the card lethal on both feet.
Dribbling - Another big factor to this cards success, as mentioned he feels supers responsive his turning and skills make him glide around the pitch and when timing bridges properly you will be able to push past defenders with no problems. agility and balance is not an issue maybe once or twice he lost his footing but nothing noticeable.
Defending - NA
Passing - not much to say good short passes and can play through balls, but not what you want this card to be doing.
Physical - This is a key factor to this cards power. He may not have the famous custom body type of CR7 but his lankiness mixed with strength gives me similar vibes to him. He will get sat down if you try and force your way through every time, but he can win near post corner headers and will not be pushed off the ball once he's past the last man.
So there are a few small things wrong with this card but for 400k currently thats a fair enough reason.
One thing to watch for his shooting is that he cant finish near post consistently. Hr generates insane power across goal or with finesse shots, but unless the keeper is moved always go across goal
I am a player that knows a lot of skill moves and can use them efficiently. That gives you that one bit extra with the card and when i told my friend to use this card he struggled slightly as he doesn't know what skills create space or help you beat a player. So just a slight warning if you don't do skills.
Having played against TOTY ramos, virgil icons and more he sometimes did get shut down but he did also destroy them on other occasions too.
Nothing much else to say just remember that he's not a 2 mil coin player, he will make mistakes and he will ghost in matches occasionally, but for the tag hes worth every coin.
