Sadly huge disappointment :(

By Oliverrbro, 16-05-2022

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 so wrong,the card could make you think that you are playing one of the top strikers and then you get insanely disappointed after few games with him. This card just aint worth it,paying over 200k for a striker whose single outstanding ability is only shooting just doesnt feel right.

-Shooting (This one feels great,his shooting is on same level as the one of TOTYs,top tier icons,when he gets the chance to take a shot then you know it will most likely end up with a goal)

-Passing (Even tho he misses some of the long passes,his short passing is just awesome for a striker,really helpful while building up an attack)

-Weakfoot (His weakfoot might only have 4* but it easily feels like 5,I didnt hesitate to take shots also with his left foot which is nice cause thats how i remember him being irl,scoring with left and right :) )

-Heading (He feels really tall in game and can score some beauties with his head too)

-Work rates and positioning (These ones felt rly good,he was never out of position and the High/Low work rates are just perfect for a striker imo)

Oh where do I start...as much as I love RVP in real life I cant say much positive about his card in game,EA did him dirty :(

-Pace (The 88 pace on card could make you think that he aint the slowest one but in game it feels as if it was only around 80,he cant outrun defenders which are by far slower than him)

-Dribbling and body type (As mentioned above,I didnt expect RVP to do crazy turns or be dribbler cause he wasnt such type of player irl but he wasnt as clunky as in game as well...I wont lie if i say that it feels as if you were playing with a typical center back as your striker. He just turns so heavy and when you try to dribble with him,he will lose the ball directly,the only way you can play this card is by basically passing to him and take direct shot)

-Stamna (His stamina aint that bad actually due to High/Low work rates but if the match gets extended by extra time then you better have some striker on the bench to replace him)

-Strength (Even tho his body type in game and his strength on card (80) could suggest that he is able to win some duels,its just not the case)

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...

Mister targetman

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...
