87 - FUT Future Stars Obj
What can I say about this card. He has just been amazing for me since I started a Brazil only road to glory around the time the future stars promo was released. Playing him just in front of Neymar in a 4231 as my sole striker he has provided 105 goals and 66 assists in 65 games for me thus far (All weekend League and Division 2-3 Rivals) surpassing my expectations for him. This RTG was made on my second account and my main account has the likes of base Eusabio and Mid Dalglish as my strikers and I can confidently say that I would choose Reiner over mid Dalglish any day, Reinier just has a better shot, better passing, better physicals and I can't see him being shunted from my team unless I packed a Brazilian Icon Moments.
Shooting: This guy has a rocket of a right foot, he is the closest I have come to R9 in terms of shot power, he has that same feel where the ball rockets off his boot and almost breaks the net. 9 time out of 10 he smashes it top bins and the keeper is left wondering what just happened. He also has an uncanny knack for volleys, best player I have used for volleying in the entire game, it nearly always goes in. At 92 Positioning 99 Finishing 99 Shot Power 99 Volleys and 97 Curve just leads this guys to be a goal merchant.
Dribbling: Although he does not feel like Neymar on the ball, Reinier has some great dribbling, his touch never fails and a balance of 99 Agility 89 Balance and 99 Dribbling with the finisher chem style he can turn defenders inside out quite well and the 4* skills keep him creative enough to create space before smashing it in the net.
Pace: At 91 pace it might seem like he wouldn't be fast enough to burst through the majority of sweaty defenses but it was never a problem for me, it feels like he has closer to 95 pace and I rarely have anyone catching him once he has passed them.
Strength: He has 85 strength without a chem style to boost it and honestly you don't need to boost it. He's no Akinfenwa but I managed to score many a goal or lay off plenty of assists by shielding the ball and turning the defender with Reinier.
Passing: This guy has 94 vision and 90 short pass without a chem style and I don't need to say much more. Although playing striker he managed to get more assists than games played and paired with his 4* skills and good hold up playing you could probably have a good time playing him at CAM.
Weak Foot: Reinier's weak foot isn't really a con but being an honest reviewier I have be transparent and let you know that on occasions he was let down by his weak foot. While mostly fine you do notice that he sometimes he just misses a shot that he usually would bury if he was on his right foot and he doesn't have that deadly power on his left that you become so accustomed to when on his right.
Heading: Probably his only true weakness but considering the meta of the game or your style of play it may not matter, but I'm not even sure if I scored one header with him. At 68 jumping he just rarely seems a threat from corners but as I said earlier, his volleys are just simply sublime so if you opt for lower crosses or the double tap dink passes he will bury the chances.
