RONALDINHO KOEMAN - MIDFIELD MAESTRO
By blad3rvoir, 30-10-2020

Let me start this off by saying i'm a meta whore. i always have followed the Meta, and love my Doumbia's, Rashford's and Ousmane Dembeles. I bought this card pissed after having a shit WL thinking he'd be shit, but i didnt care anymore. Boy was i wrong! i play him as the more attacking CDM in a 4-2-3-1 and he scores for fun. everyone seems to love Pogba this year, while everyone is sleeping on Koeman. you can barely feel the 67 pace and 56 agility on the defence cause he has that Icon-type tackling which bodies the opponent of 9 times out of 10. His long passing (96) is exquisite. 77 Stamina doesn't really have an effect since he already isn't the fastest, and i felt when he was on low stamina his shot power (96) still produced rocket long shots. He has embaressed my Opponent's Middle Cech recently, scoring 2 banger long shots which nestled in the roof of the net. His 67 pace can hinder his ability to get forward, but when i do the L1 + X pass to my LW (Rashford), he holds the ball for him to beat the opponent's first line of defence. from there he picks up the ball and either does a L1 + X with my Striker, from which he recieves a ball which puts him one on one with the opponent keeper (which he bangs in the top corner 9 times out of 10), or uses his 96 long pass and 93 curve to do a chip throughball to my RW ( L1 + Triangle). From set pieces he is amazing as every stat for free kicks is 95+. His corners always find my player's heads, and 96 penalties means his keeper will have a hard time saving it, even if he goes the right way.


Overall, y'all are sleeping on this card. For ~300k, look past his 67 pace and 56 agility and give him a try, i guarantee you wont regret it. You dont even have to swap with a midfielder ingame, just start him as a CDM on 6 chem.

Better than R9???

After packing him in a base icon pack, I was obviously a little disappointed at first. Last year I took his middle card from swaps and used him at CM for hundreds of games and he was amazing (however does have +10 pace over this base version) then a bit before TOTS started I upgraded to his moments who was ridiculous. So because of this, I thought I should at least try him out, no matter how bad he looked....
