Player Review

81 - Rare
3.5
A decent striker, when using him correctly
By heruone, 28-10-2020

Okay, this is the first time I write a review so let's be honest. Most of the people writing a review here on Futbin are always lyrical and stuff. I doubt whether that's a 100% objective point of view. The same goes for this guy Richarlison. I saw people reviews saying Richarlison > Ben Yedder and that he is such a beast. My common sense would ask then why he's just 3k right now? Guess what, he is not that good as some subjective people describe here.


So let's talk about the facts and how I (hopefully more objective) would rate him. I experienced that in this game it is very useful to have attackers/strikers with a pace in combination with dribbling (agility, balance and dribbling). The pace allows you to expose the space between the two central defenders whereas the dribbling gives you better changes in tiny spaces in the box (necessary since most of the shots are blocked then) as well as it kind of gave me the feeling this 50/50 duels (often after standing tackles) in the box are more won by players with higher dribbling.


His pace is decent with 83, but the nuance has to be made that it is 79 acceleration and 86 sprint speed. The 79 acceleration is just to low for me (you will lose a lot of sprint duels against defenders with anchor/shadow which can meet this pace stats). His finishing isn't that high either. And his agility and balance (dribbling stats) as well. I have been using him with a hunter card to satisfy my own requirements for the pace and shooting. Unfortunately, his dribbling stats still remain to low.


Regarding finishing he is then phenomenal. With his 5* weak foot and a hunter card, he scores every goal from every position and every angle inside the box. However, he still doesn't feel that pacey for me (often loses the sprint duel) and his dribbling necks him in tight areas.


I've been using him in 4-1-2-1-2 and 4-2-2-2. I experienced that with the last formation there is more width. In this case, Richarlison would have some for more space and therefore his dribbling stats would neck him less. I think that is crucial when you want to use him, you need at least some depth.


When you get him in the box in the 1vs1 with the goalkeeper he is phenomenal and he won't disappoint. However, that taken out of consideration I experienced him as a decent player. I doubt whether you still should use him in this phase of the game. You probably have more coins and the ability to look for better strikers. For example Rodrigo at ~ 10k or Jesus at ~30k.


Finishing is absolutely insane with hunter.

He is physical strong for link up play.

His dribbling is too low.

His short passing isn't that great tho.

His base card is to slow. He still feels not very pacey with hunter.

The Pigeon

So I packed this guy right at the start of the promo in my 87+x3 that I saved for a few days and decided to test him right away in a few rivals matches. He began to bang hat-trick after hat-trick and I fell in love after just 5 or 6 games, this card can finish from anywhere in the box with both feet, his AI runs are perfect as he is always in the right position in rebounds and crosses, sometimes he even goes for in behind r...

Richarlison

Here we are, another year, another Richarlison review. I did my first and only review of Fifa 20 almost at the end of the game just to praise how good TOTS Richarlison was. Now i'm back and i'll bring you reviews on the regular for this Fifa 21.I personally don't think this card deserves a long review, what you see is what you get.I picked him up for 39k with hunter just to make sure h...
