92 - Icon Moments

4.0

Sometimes may be good, sometimes may be...

Okay so, I got Roberto Carlos from Icon Swaps and this guy has performed below my expectations. On face value, this card looks like the best LB in the game, with the exceptions of Cancelo and Marcelo, but played far from that status.

The first thing that I noticed with this card is the inconsistency with passing. He has 76 vision, 84 short and 83 long passing. This ain't it, chief. I've seen this guy misplace easy passes and paired with that 2* WF, if he's put under pressure (83 composure) this guy will easily give the ball away leaving you exposed.

Another issue is dribbling - he's a shorter player (5"6) but only has 80 agility and 80 dribbling... on a 92 PIM card. It's underwhelming, and you can notice it. I originally used an anchor chem style, but changed to artist to give a big boost to passing and dribbling, which helped... a little, but overall it's pretty bad - 3* SM also reduces opportunity to be creative.

Pace and strength were actually really nice - he had the classic Tevez "bulldog like" approach. Could muscle off taller, stronger players with his 84 strength, 87 aggression and 88 balance. Pace was fantastic, no issus there.

Shooting... it's Roberto Carlos... this guy will bang free-kicks, long shots and finish well when in the right areas (as long as it's on his left).

Defensively, he was fine - nothing spectacular, but did the job. What more can you say.

Overall, I regret redeeming this card from icon swaps, but oh well... this dude will remain in my team since I refuse to let the hours of playing squad battles be for nothing. If you're buying him off the market... DON'T. Not if he's going for more than 450-500k, that's the highest I'd value him at - he's going for around 1m at the time of writing this... you lot have too much coins if you're paying that.

Bad agility, can be hard to turn with
Passing is not good - has misplaced simple 5 yard passes for me (83 composure too!)
2* WF, 3* SM - SM not a big issue, but 2* WF is generally concerning

Roberto Carlos

Legacy Left back !

What are the first 3 things that it comes to your mind when thinking of Roberto Carlos in real life? Freekicks.Shooting from very far.A powerhouse machine on the defense of the galacticos. Well, you get all of that, you pay a very high price, but this guy delivers everything you need, a top class left back that will score your freekicks better...
