84 - OTW SBC

5.0

Slow, but Saucy

By AidyHD, 30-10-2020

Hi guys, this is my first ever review on this site so hopefully it isn't too bad

I think the first thing you see when you look at this card automatically you're drawn towards the pace, which to be fair is shocking and there's no getting away from that. However the other thing that stands out on the card is the triple 88 for shooting/dribbling/passing. And as for the defending and physical, it isn't overly important for his role (in my team at least anyway)

So, I play J-Rod as a striker along with Richarlison, with Zaha and Pepe on the wings (4-2-4). I have Ricy deployed to get in behind, and J as target man, to get the ball to his feet and play in Ricky. This system works fantastic, when they are playing one-twos in and around the box no defender stands a chance. J's dribbling is exceptional which means you can beat pacey defenders without having the 90+ pace of 99% forwards you come up against.

As for J-Rod's shooting, fuck me it is downright disgusting. if you're in the box and you're on his left peg, you're pretty much guranteed a goal, finesse or driven, he can do the lot. Not much more to say tbh, incredible shooting. Same goes for outside the box shots and free kicks.

Passing is another great part of J's game, as he is often required in my team to spray the ball in behind to the wingers and more often, Ricky to get in behind. Which usually he does with ease

Overall, i'm very very pleased that I completed this SBC, even though its expired, i would definitely recommend getting his IF or any future IFs and play him centrally

DO THIS SBC NOW! WHAT A PLAYER

I did this SBC in hopes that he would get more informs throughout FIFA to make his card more and more useable however after deciding to stick him in my team and try him out I can tell you hes worth every coin of the 20K SBC price and is 100% ready for FUT CHAMPS! Everything from the passing, shooting and dribbling on this card is perfect matched with his medium/medium workrates it makes...

2014 World Cup Flashbacks

First off, hopefully you and your family are safe and well during these really challenging times - I wish you all the best :)Well well well, where to start? A card that, on FIFA, looks pretty dreadful (in terms of a RW with 58 pace... dear me) but if you watched the 2014 WC 2 players stood out - Ochoa of Mexico and James for...

Really Fun CAM

After playing 24 games with James I decided to write this review.I must say he is one of my favorite cards this year, not because of him being an overpowered meta beast but because he made me love playing FIFA again.He is an amazing CAM, with great passing, great pace, and one hell of a shot on his left foot. With that been said he does have a 3* weak foot that can feel underwhelming at certain angl...
