Whats up, Lads! My English is not the very best, pls excuse me.
This guy, Van Nistelrooy, is an absolute legend in real life.
He was a top scorer for Real Madrid and ManU, later he played at my Club, the almighty HSV! I luckily pulled a few expensive cards like Salah, Koulibaly, Wijnaldum, Havertz. So I could build up a strong team around a few meta players:
I included Lloris, Davies, Alaba, Laporte, Joao Cancelo, Kimmich, Goretzka, Sane, Renato Sanches IF, Gelson Martins, Van Nistelrooy.
And in 10 games i played this squad, Ruud V.N. was absolutely amazing. (Scored 36 goals in 10 games, divion 3) He got sick finishing, tho his weak foot is not the best, he almost always is at the right spot at the right time, his pace boosted with a hunter is enough to outpace most defenders and he is very strong on the ball.
On many occasions he just yeeted the ball in, no matter where he was standing and although his weak foot is not amazing it does the job.
So all in all, for around 400k he is the best overall striker you can get...
but... dont expect wonders, its not a Ronaldo or Torres!
I would recommand trying him out, if u got the coins in your bag. But I wont be mad if u prefer a Pogba+Martial Combi for the same price.
Cheers

- Headers
- Strength
- Volleys

- Moderate ball control
- Ruud
- only 3 * weak foot
- not the best dribbling
- sometimes is not fast enough for goats like Varane, Gomez etc
- does not fit the meta very well
well, i bought this card because i wanted to have a team with Mid or Prime Bergkamp, Mid or Prime van Nistelrooy and Baby or Prime Nistelrooy.
Mid Nistelrooy was the first card that i bought, he was 212k and I had some expectations but not too much.
At first, his card stood out to me because he has some nice stats and I hate the meta way of playing, so put him in a team with Hazard ucl live and Arjen Robben.
Well, this is Ruud, Ruud can finish everything, head everything inside.
Ruud gives you power by taking your power away and just leave u with the shoot and run button.
Ruud loves you, he gives you a point of nostalgia when he scores for you
Ruud deflowers you, Ruud is the dad that you always wanted.
Ruud is that one cool uncle you have
Ruud is the one neighbour who is always chill with you
Ruud is the one popular kid on your college our high school that everybody wants to be because he is just so awesome
Ruud is feeling of the feeling of your first good walkout
Ruud feels like he is Achilles before getting an arrow in his Achilles
Ruud is that one football dad who does everybody for the club and everybody likes
but u also have van Nistelrooy
van Nistelrooy is clumsy
van Nistelrooy is no skiller or not two legged
van Nistelrooy isn't that fast
van Nistelrooy has no balance and agility
van Nistelrooy is dead after the 80th minute
But that's why Ruud is Ruud van Nistelrooy.
He is here to let you see that not everything can feel or see perfect, and then Ruud lets you feel what perfect is when he is in front of the goal
just buy the card, he is 200k.
You have Malen, Robben and that Ajax Rightback now just go
Finishing
Coin to performance ratio
links with Depay Promes Malen
passing is 50/50
dribbling isn't that bad it's okay
the pace is good but not meta
balance and agility
I picked up Ruud because I wanted to try something else. I don't like to play on the counter like everybody on this meta. of course, there were multiple options to choose from. However, I had a limited amount of money and untradeables in my club. I went for Ruud because I'm Dutch and a PSV fan. I played Ruud in different formations. I started off with him at striker in a 4231 formation. while using this formation, I didn't feel like he maximized his potential. he had to run too much. so I changed it to 4222. when using this formation a lot of options are available to utilize Ruud to his maximum potential. His stats are from the the 3rd weekend league games. I am a div 2 player who always stops with weekend league when reaching gold 3.
Ruud is great inside of the box. pass the ball to him and he will use his body to keep the defenders from the ball. however, when doing this you do need to turn and shoot fast. Otherwise, defenders will stalk him and you won't be able to run away from them. Besides his ability to turn and shoot he can also finess from outside of the box. when he has a bit of space the goalie won't know what happened to him. Finally, he has great positioning. So when you cross the ball Ruud will be there. Ruud will not hesitate and he will score. due to the fact, he has other stats instead of pace he can play against meta defenses. varane and gomes can struggle against Ruud when used correctly. of course, using Ruud like rashford or martial will be hopeless against varane. but when used as described above he is lethal.
while pressing on the opponent Ruud takes the ball away. With only 38 defending he did his utmost to get the ball from the defenders. with his physical, he managed to get the ball from many defenders. those defenders are not the op meta picks.
Ruud also has his flaws. as you already could tell his positives always had something to do with scoring goals. while playing those 28 games he only had 8 assists. his passing is just bad. do not expect crosses or gallery play. just pass the ball to Ruud and he will score. do not pass the ball with Ruud.
overall I am positive about Ruud. Like I stated above his finishing is great and he has enough pace to play with. He does need to fit your playstyle. I wouldn't use him if you are a meta pace *****. i would recommend him if you want to enjoy FIFA and counter the meta pace *****.
Shooting, every shot with his right foot is a goal, he can score with his left foot but he wont be able to finess them in the far corner.
Physical, van Dijk wont touch the ball while holding L2.
Dribbling, wont walk past 3 man
passing, wont pass the ball to 3 man
