FIFA 22 Romain Alessandrini Winter Wildcards

Player Review

86 - Winter Wildcards

3.5

Solid but not quite what he was

By EdBennett, 24-01-2022

Bought him since on previous FIFAs, he's been impossible to defend against. unfortunately though, he's not as effective on this FIFA as he was on others.

Used on marksman, he gets 95 Pace, 97 Shooting and 96 Dribbling- insane stats that suggest he'd put in some R9 like performances. While he's definitely good, as the 55k Price tag suggests, he's nowhere near the level that his stats suggest.

Attributes

Pace- Rapid as hell, no need for a boost and no criticism here, he can comfortably outpace almost anyone.

Shooting- Actually quite hit or miss. Some shots are insane, and others are very feeble and weak, and easy for any keeper to catch. Longshots are very effective with this card and his volleys are great, though a lot of his in the box, close finishes are very poor. I've used him alongside FB Icardi and this really exposes Alessandrini's weaknesses.

Dribbling- Sadly, nowhere near the level that the 96 stat (on Marksman) suggests. Feels a bit heavy and unresponsive on the ball, likely due to the Average Body Type. I was very surprised at this considering all stats are 92+ except for Composure. Close dribbling and ball shielding are good, but he doesn't have the rapid, electric dribbling that players like my UEFA Politano have.

Passing- Passing feels good over a short range, not really had any problems here except for through-balls which are lacklustre, but overall better passing than a lot of strikers I've used

Physical- A definite positive on this card. Feels a lot stronger on the ball and better at ball-shielding than I expected. Don't bother trying to score headers with him though, as he won't find the back of the net

Overall

Overall, if you're a bit tight on coins then he's a solid option. I wouldn't be too lead by the stats with chem style boosts as he won't live up to that hype, and I wouldn't play him as a loan striker too, since he's not dynamic enough to lead an attack on his own. He could definitely be worth a try, though personally I think there are better options out there for a very similar price such as Winter Wildcards Morales, who I've found to be insanely good (on Engine) and a much more dependable forward

Very fast

Good Longshots and Volleys

Good Short Passing in game

Much better Physical than expected

Shooting is inconsistent, poor close range shots

Dribbling is very underwhelming

Body Type makes him feel a bit heavy

Headers are a no-go

Linkability

Better options out there for a similar price

He is back!

Romain Alessandrini is back! When i saw that EA added another sick special card of him i knew i had to try him out. I play him as a left striker in a 4222 formation next to baby eusebio. Alessandrini is a very very solid striker, especially for his price. Before him i have used flashback Karim Benzema, Neymar and for a very short time Mbappe. Allesandrini is absolutely rapid, the 95 pace that is given to him seems a tad low...

Alessandrini Review

So I decided to use him at LAM in a 4-2-3-1 and also as a left ST in a 4-1-2-1-2 (2). Keep in mind most of the games I have played with him I won and didnt even switch to the 2nd formations, as that is my go-to one when im losing. Let me start by saying that he is very good in both positions in my opinion, however he performed a bit better as a LS partnered up with Mbappé. His main asset, in...

Most complete striker i've used

Alessandrini back at it again with the yearly non-performance based card. I've used gold Ben Yedder for most of the year and i thought that he wasn't pacy enough as a striker. I wanted to put Alessandrini in my team but i didn't have the coins. That's when i packed him in an 81-89x10 pack. Now i play him up front in a 4-1-2-1-2 with winter wildcards Aouar...
