Is he worth it?

By taquece, 27-10-2020

The answer is simple: if you want the best value for your coins, no, he isn't. There are many other cards that perform better for a lesser price and this version of R10 isn't the best fit for this FIFA's meta. However, if you're a football fan like me that grew up seeing Ronaldinho tear down defensive lines with his magic touch and you still get those nostalgic vibes everytime you watch a Joga Bonito ad, yes, he's worth it. I'm a Gold 1 player at best in Weekend League and this FIFA I was lucky enough to get enough coins to try one of my childhood idols out. As expected, he's just wonderful to play with — great dribbling, good movement and loads of flair. He's just different, hence why his Body Type on the game data is "Ronaldinho" (no joke). Every turn, every pass, every shot, every dribble; they just feel like a different game. He opens up a whole new game that can be so much fun. Nonetheless, I have to be honest: he's not a gamechanger like Mbappé and CR7, because when you get destroyed on Weekend League and you look at your exhausted Dinho in CAM struggling to get forward, you ask yourself: is he worth it? The answer, as mentioned in the start, depends on why you play FIFA. I want to have fun, so the answer is yes.

Dribbling: let's just get this out of the way, because that's why anyone interested in this card is reading this review. His dribbling is from another world and if you know to use a 5* skiller this guy is a constant threat. All dribbling combinations feel like cheat codes and even those who aren't really good at dribbling will eventually break some legs with Dinho's skill.
Passing: call it what you want, but this guy is a number 10. His vision will get you some mindblowing passes and when you get him going on those 1-2's he just feels unique. The 88 passing stat is even better ingame, so it does make me wonder if those hidden stats are a real thing.
Shooting: 9 out of 10 shots will go in if you're in front of goal and know how to beat the keeper. Consistent, dangerous and overall a good finisher. He's not an elite shooter but you'll be surprised at how many long shots he manages to score.

Pace: that's what you're worried about, right? Long story short, Dinho isn't a speedster (atleast not this version). He won't beat defenders like your Mbappés and Rashfords, but do you expect him to? Like I said, he's not 100% meta. With that being said, I was positively surprised at how many runs he was able to make with the Hunter card (only way to make him an option to run in behind opponents) and he didn't slow down any of my attacks.
Physicality: I wasn't expecting to call this his biggest con but after a full Weekend League with him I have to say he's weak. Gets bullied off the ball more than Neymar (!!!) and won't be winning you any 50/50's against meta CDM/CB's. Nonetheless, his flair and agility make up for that if you're able to get that first touch in.

I have found my #10

With EA's recent League SBC debacle, I decided to scrap my plans of saving players and just sell everything in my club instead. I considered Mbappe or Neymar, I thought about getting a few cheap United icons for a past and present team...and then I saw Baby Dinho's price. **SOLD.** (I thought he'd be 2-3 million. but I guess the 80 pace puts people off. Those people are fools.) Dropped him straight into my team and started ...

Ronaldinho god

After packing him off my swaps baby pack, I was very happy. I decided to change my formation to 4-2-3-1 and put dinho at cam behind if Rashford. This gut performe SO well. In div 3 and champs wow insane. He always finishes like a beast with pinpoint accuracy and good power. His finesse shots are very good, inside and outside of the box. At cam, his pace does not feel bad at all. the dribbling and skills are crazy, and bein...
