Baby R9

By tommeh010, 27-10-2020

He's good, but not as good as you'd hope him to be. That's the best summary I can give you on this card.

It's a legendary name in football. R9 el fenomeno. Fast, skillful and deadly from anywhere in the box. Unfortunately, his baby card doesn't live up to his former glory.

His pace definitely doens't feel like it's 94. I've put a hunter on him, I've left him on basic and tried finisher (more later). There's a LOT of players that feel much much faster than him.

His shooting is very good. Having the finesse shot trait and high shot power, most angles from inside the area are good to go (if you don't get auto blocked, ofc).

Passing on this card is surprisingly good. The stats on the card aren't anything special but he picks out very nice through balls if you use him as more of a target man striker.

His dribbling... oh man. It's a common theme in FUT where taller and stockier players just don't dribble well. Whatever chem style I put on him, same result. Tried finisher to boost his agility to 98 and dribbling to 99. Van der Sar feels more secure on the ball.

Defending: Yeah, whatever. He's a forward.

Physical: Surprisingly good strength. Can bully most defenders if you get a running fake shot around them or a bridge. Stamina is a little low with 77 but can last most if not all of the game if you don't constantly send him on unnecessary runs.

Having used him in both div 1 rivals and weekend league, there's just that spark he's missing. That little 'glitchy' feel neymar, mbappe, cr7 and rashford seem to always have.

FWIW I've used both his baby and mid this year, along with his prime and prime moments extensively last year. They're all dream cards for the majority of players, but when you're forking over millions of coins there's better ways to spend your coins.

It's R9. Looks good in your squad.

It's an icon. Helps linking teams together.

He's deadly in the box if you manage to put him in a nice position.

Price!!! He's not worth 2.5+ million coins. Simple as.

Overall smoothness in play is a let down

What a player he is!

Hey guys, i don't write reviews often, just when i really love a player. I was searching for the right striker that is constantly good enough to carry my games.I am a trader and decided to put my coins into just one player for my 4 mio after 3 weeks.I tried so many meta players like Mbappe, Torres, Henry, Cantona, CR7, Rashford, Son and just Mbappe was fine for me.After some games with mbappe i really w...

Baby R9 (GAMECHANGER)

Hey guys,So I opened up my base icon pack and was lucky enough to pack this fella. I went crazy. Anyways, popped him in to my squad immediately and put an engine chemistry style on him, which did him right. First game he scored a hattrick. I was amazed by his pace and dribbling but especially by his finishing. You get in the box and get a shot on goal and trust me, its going in. Anyways another thing I lik...

Disappointingly Average

I luckily packed him out of my base icon pack from icon swaps after grinding non-stop for 6 1/2 hours so I was nice for EA to reward a grind for once so I'm not going to complain about the icon swaps but what I will say is that if you use a first owner silver Liga nos team you can do 3 in one and then a full ucl French squad you end up playing less games than the first set of tokens.I used him in a 4-4-2 but also pla...
