The Italian RAT
Bykljsgj01-05-2022

When I saw this card show up, i thought he'd be a decent card, but nothing too special. However packing practically nothing but fodder from my TOTS saved packs, and craving a TOTS to add to my squad, I thought to myself, why not just do him, and boy am I glad I did. There's a reason I call him "the Italian Ben Yedder" because much like the rat king himself, he has a sort of, jam factor about him, along with that 5 star weakfoot. I used him at CAM behind baby Eusebio and mid R9, playing him as more of a support player, hanging around the edge of the box and making runs in behind while playing through balls, and while he was good, I felt like I wasn't getting the most out of him. I played him at Striker alongside R9 and dropped Eusebio to CAM, and by doing this, his full rattyness revealed itself. To start off with the review, this guy is FAST!!! His ability to outpace even the quickest of defenders was a sight to see, and even made some players rage quit. His shooting was pretty good too, he did miss a couple easier chances, but his 5 star weakfoot helped him to score quite a bit. his passing felt great as well. I put a maestro on him to give him a bit of a passing boost, and he was slinging through balls from CAM, and his crossing felt considerably better as opposed to when he had a marksman on him. His dribbling is where his true rat shines through though. He has an almost Mbappe like ability to jam his way through players, and it feels like the ball is glued to his feet. His physicals were a bit of a letdown, however I don't think it's a major issue, as a majority of the time he can just outrun or jam through players trying to tackle him.

Pace- He is absolutely RAPID

Shooting- Decent, finishes most chances

Passing- Good even without a passing chem style, great at through balls

Dribbling- His greatest atribute, jammy, agile, and quick off the turn

Missed a couple of easier chances

Pretty Weak if shielding/ holding the ball

Short- Can't win headers

No shooting traits

Insane Card
Firstly, just an 84 + 85 squad to get him? What a card, and what a steal! Easily the best Serie A CAM in the game at the moment. I was struggling with my attack recently, but this Raspadori has allowed me to bridge that gap from my midfield to attack. The passing is crisp, shooting is clean and pace is rapid. What else could you ask for from a card? Best part is the insane heading. Yes, he is a bit short, but once he gets th...

Good Bang For Buck
Squad listed above plays 4-1-2-1-2 (2) in game, with Raspadori as Right ST, Insigne CAM and Verde Left ST.To begin this review i just want to say currently ive tried all the Serie A strikers between the SBCs and Promo cards, and i can confidently say this card has been my favorite. So far i have 10 games and 14 goals with Raspadori in low div 2. His 5* weak foot makes him perfect for hitting awkward outside of the box and tou...

TOTS GIACOMO RASPADORI REVIEW
This card is absolutely insane. How he is this cheap is a mystery to me. Just over 110k for him is a steal.I alternated between using him at ST and at CAM during Weekend League. He was a goal machine, scoring 23 and assisting 12. He is remarkably similar to my baby Eusebio with the 4/5 star combo, insane pace and top-tier shooting. Other cards he’s similar to that I’ve used are:Captains Ben YedderButragueño CruyffSo not too b...
