85 - Rare
4.0
Hidden Gem!
By Machima13, 20-02-2021

I packed this guy out of my double 85+ upgrade alongside Mane and did not take much notice of him. I found that I needed a prem CDM in my new team and I decided to give Rodri a go. I was astounded by how good he was. He's not exactly a fun card to play with but he does the job well at CDM. I partnered him with IF Tielemans initially and then with POTM Gundogan after. Both benefitted from having Rodri next to them as it allowed them to go forward from defensive midfield. I will now break up his stats...


Pace:


Okay - It is enough for a defensive midfielder and can be solved with a shadow or anchor chemistry style. It is still worth having a smaller and quicker defensive midfielder next to him.


Shooting:


Surprisingly good - He clearly doesn't have the best shooting but he doesn't need it for the job he does. Having said that I have scored the odd long range goal with him and a couple of headers also.


Passing:


Good - His passing is good enough but not fantastic. Hence why you should have another defensive midfielder next to him like Tielemans or Gundogan who I used.


Dribbling:


Good - Like his passing it's good enough but you don't want to dribble past players with him obviously.


Defending:


Great - Tackling is superb and does well at winning the ball back. Certainly his best attribute.


Physicality:


Great - Uses every inch of his height to his advantage and he's really strong whilst tackling and in the air also. Stamina is good also.
