What a player he is!
By Hamstar66, 03-11-2020

Hey guys, i don't write reviews often, just when i really love a player. I was searching for the right striker that is constantly good enough to carry my games.

I am a trader and decided to put my coins into just one player for my 4 mio after 3 weeks.

I tried so many meta players like Mbappe, Torres, Henry, Cantona, CR7, Rashford, Son and just Mbappe was fine for me.

After some games with mbappe i really want to try out how good Ronaldo is.

I first wanted to try out Eto'o but he was a bit too expensive. (250k more)

So i bought Ronaldo and wondered how strong he is. He shot 3 goals and had too assists in the first DIV1 Rivals match and he carried my WL (elite 3) with 2+ goals every game.

He is so fast, agile, his movement is amazing and his shots are so deadly.

Every fucking shot is a goal with left and right foot.

And the most important thing is, that the ball sticks on him like on no player i ever played before.

For those of you who are struggling to find the perfect striker just try him, he will not disapoint you.


I will play him till the end i guess.


  • he is very fast
  • he is very agile
  • he can pass so good
  • his dribbling is amazing
  • deadly shots, like nobody else
  • the ball always sticks on him
  • his runs are perfect

to be honest nothing. some guys say he is noth worth the price but i really would also pay 3,5 mio for him, cause he is worth it in my opinion.

Baby R9
By tommeh010, 27-10-2020

He's good, but not as good as you'd hope him to be. That's the best summary I can give you on this card.

It's a legendary name in football. R9 el fenomeno. Fast, skillful and deadly from anywhere in the box. Unfortunately, his baby card doesn't live up to his former glory.


His pace definitely doens't feel like it's 94. I've put a hunter on him, I've left him on basic and tried finisher (more later). There's a LOT of players that feel much much faster than him.

His shooting is very good. Having the finesse shot trait and high shot power, most angles from inside the area are good to go (if you don't get auto blocked, ofc).

Passing on this card is surprisingly good. The stats on the card aren't anything special but he picks out very nice through balls if you use him as more of a target man striker.

His dribbling... oh man. It's a common theme in FUT where taller and stockier players just don't dribble well. Whatever chem style I put on him, same result. Tried finisher to boost his agility to 98 and dribbling to 99. Van der Sar feels more secure on the ball.

Defending: Yeah, whatever. He's a forward.

Physical: Surprisingly good strength. Can bully most defenders if you get a running fake shot around them or a bridge. Stamina is a little low with 77 but can last most if not all of the game if you don't constantly send him on unnecessary runs.


Having used him in both div 1 rivals and weekend league, there's just that spark he's missing. That little 'glitchy' feel neymar, mbappe, cr7 and rashford seem to always have.


FWIW I've used both his baby and mid this year, along with his prime and prime moments extensively last year. They're all dream cards for the majority of players, but when you're forking over millions of coins there's better ways to spend your coins.



It's R9. Looks good in your squad.

It's an icon. Helps linking teams together.

He's deadly in the box if you manage to put him in a nice position.

Price!!! He's not worth 2.5+ million coins. Simple as.

Overall smoothness in play is a let down

Possibly stamina

Baby R9 (GAMECHANGER)
By StevenRDG, 29-11-2020

Hey guys,


So I opened up my base icon pack and was lucky enough to pack this fella. I went crazy. Anyways, popped him in to my squad immediately and put an engine chemistry style on him, which did him right. First game he scored a hattrick. I was amazed by his pace and dribbling but especially by his finishing. You get in the box and get a shot on goal and trust me, its going in. Anyways another thing I liked was his attacking positioning in the box, he always gets away from his defender and gets himself into a good position. He also plays for the badge, he's won back the ball for me a couple of times against strong defenders. The only thing i missed was the 5* 5*, but oh boy was his weak foot good. It felt like 5*, im not kidding. I played my last 5 weekend league games with him and he scored 11 goals. I read other people saying he's overpriced but I dont think so, he's incredible, he wins you games.


Pace

9/10, let him make his run and he will beat every defender with pace, skill moves like bridges work well with him, there are faster players though.


Shooting

10/10, I've never seen the finishing ability this guy has. Best i've ever used in this category. The finesse shot trait is great too.


Positioning

9/10, great attacking runs and great in the box, just weird workrates and tends to drift wide even when you put him on stay center, oh well.


Passing

8/10, better than I expected and better than stats suggest, good through balls and good enough for a striker, just dont try anything crazy.


Dribbling

9/10, gosh did i like his dribbling, i expected a clunky feeling but I was wrong, with an engine he has great dribbling and he is really hard to get off the ball, sprinting fake shots really work with him. I liked his agility and balance. His hold up play is great.


Physical

8/10, great strength, hard to get off the ball, stamina is a bit low but you can use him 90 minutes if you dont sprint with him all game. Jumping isnt really good but oh well, he's not very small.


Game changer

10/10, this guy wins you the hard games, give him one shot and he'll score. What a player, scores when you need him most.

  • Pace (I boost it with engine)
  • Shooting (especially finishing and weakfoot)
  • Dribbling and physical combination (good hold up play0
  • Decent passing, better than stats suggest.
  • 4* 4* even though his other cards have 5* 5* I think 4* 4* is still a pro.
  • Plays for the badge, can win back the ball,
  • Workrates and wide drifting (stay central instruction doesnt seem to work)
  • Passing could be better but its fine.
  • Stamina (can play for 90, but not 120.)
  • Jumping, oh well, isn't that important.
  • Missing the 5* 5* but I feel like his weak foot is 5*.

Disappointingly Average
By TLJP, 05-01-2021

I luckily packed him out of my base icon pack from icon swaps after grinding non-stop for 6 1/2 hours so I was nice for EA to reward a grind for once so I'm not going to complain about the icon swaps but what I will say is that if you use a first owner silver Liga nos team you can do 3 in one and then a full ucl French squad you end up playing less games than the first set of tokens.

I used him in a 4-4-2 but also played him up top in a 4-2-3-1 and he was miles better in the 4-4-2 with POTM Joao Felix paired up with him.

His Shooting is second too non (most of the time) but he is let down by his pace, physical and dribbling which is poor. He will occasionally be able to beat a defender to a through ball but not often (and especially not if its Varane or Gomez). He feels very clunky and slow but is still very usable as he is always in the right position at the right time. But is very week so will go down easily and loose possesion

His shooting is as I said second too none (most of the time) but he has games where he will keep hitting the post or hitting it straight at the keeper. (I am not that good at the game and this could be due to me having an off game) but when he has a good game he will score a hat-trick and single-handedly win a game on his own.

Shooting

Will win games on his own

Il fenomeno non tradisce
By Gerardobalboa1414, 15-12-2020

Semplicemente devastante,

una carta mostruosa, l'ho preso vendendo tutti i calciatori che avevo per puntare su di lui e se potessi tornare indietro farei altre 100 volte la stessa scelta.

Il giocatore che più ha fatto la differenza per me in FIFA 21, al momento l'unico che ho provato in grado di "ridicolizzare" i vari Varane Gomez Van Dijk e co.


-Scatto bruciante,

-cecchino infallibile sotto porta

-dribbling meraviglioso

-il piede sinistro in game non mi è sembrato buono come mi aspettavo

-resistenza decisamente bassa, al settantesimo è già quasi sfiancato.
