Player Review

By vespa22, 14-03-2022

Seeing this player walk out of my prime icon pack was great! I thought finally a great CB to pair with saliba. Oh how mistaken I was. He frequently is caught out of position (medium/medium?) and often loses the ball vs attackers due to his inability to hold the ball. He has a fantastic tackle when he's not out of position and isn't actually slow at all (not understanding those comments whatsoever) but his horrible positioning renders it all mute, he costs me so many goals sitting way too far back (or way too far forward) and keeping people onside or just being caught in nomans land. Maybe if you play more conservative he will be perfect for you, but I play fast and with pressure (1900 SR elite old gen) and he simply gets caught out far too much at this level.

Tackling

Strength

Pace (He's not catching mbappe, but 99% of cbs won't either so it's more then good enough!)

Heading

Composure

Passing

3* 3*

Positioning - Absolutely shocking if you play a high line, invalidates every strong point about tackling

Workrates

Lower aggression then most meta CBs is noticeable (loses a lot of 50/50s vs strong strikers)

Horrible value for money (campbell is the same and 300k less)

Agility

Balance

Cornrow Kingggggg

Very nice face to see after opening a prime icon pack. As a United fan I felt like though his stats may be a bit behind at this point I still had to use him. Slapped a shadow on him and slid him right next to HM Rudiger and oh wow. Though Rudiger feels a bit better, Rio can definitely hold his own against the meta attackers in this stage in the game. Heading is great and auto-blocks are broken. He definitely has that X-Fact...

Fraud

Div 1/Elite player. Extremely disappointing. Got him from mid/prime PP and was moderately excited to use.Before him I used FS Saliba and he was pretty good but he dropped Dest's chem so Prime Rio was a a good option.
