Mister targetman

By thrithion, 29-04-2022

In Champs I normally get rank V/IV. I still needed a complete target man, and RVP is an excellent choice for that task. In combination with the hawk chem style, he is an excellent finisher within the box, who in the fifty games I played with him also managed to score headers very regularly, (love the power header trait on this card). I don't really play on pace or through balls, so RVP his pace was not really concerning for me. His pace is good not great, like you would expect. Same for physicals, he doesn't normally win duels from players like flashback Varane or anything. But it's good enough.

Shooting wise he is insane, and I don't really know why but I scored more with his right foot than with his left. With the hawk it feels like he has 5* weak foot though, And here and there he even scored a longshot. His passing is excellent for a striker, nothing bad to say about that. But his dribbling really isn't and that is frustrating, even for a target man. With bad gameplay he turns like a cargo ship, and doesn't feel responsive at all. My tactic was to use RVP purely as a target man in a two striker formation, with the result that there were regularly matches, in which van Persie was literally invisible for ninety minutes, but scored several times.

RVP on FIFA reminds me of Inzaghi in real life at Milan. Just standing in the right place at the right time and shooting the ball into the net and be completely invisible the rest of the match, and with his shooting stats that role fits him pretty well.

Robinnnn vaaan Peeersieeeee

I've packed him from one of my Weekend League packs. First thing i thought: Sell. But in the start of the season I've tried is baby-icon and was pretty impressed, so I thought: Let's give it a go.No regrets. He feels strong. Has a good pace, is in the right place at the right time and the finishing is absolutely phenomenal. I used to play 4-4-2 in general, but this new one I changed it to a 4-1-2-1-...

THE FLYING DUTCHMAN

What a player! Couldn't believe I packed this guy in the Mid/Prime Icon Player Pick. With his moments card, Van Persie gets a SIGNIFICANT dribbling boost which helps this card IMMENSELY! His shooting stats are pretty much perfect and with his High/Low work rate, he can get inside the box at the perfect time. Now, he is 6'2" so even with a dribbling boost and Engine chem style boo...

Sadly huge disappointment :(

RVP has always been one of my favourite players irl and as soon as i saw his sbc,i knew i had to get him. Even before doing the sbc,I expected him to feel slightly heavy and I knew he wont be as agile as top tier strikers such as Mbappe,Neymar etc..After few games I sadly had to bench him. This card felt just way too clunky which makes his pros (shooting) pretty unusable,his stats feel just...
