Player Review
94 - ShowDown SBC
Pace: 10/10
Fastest-feeling card i've used this year. I've used Hakimi TOTY for most of the year, and have used Alphonso Davies TOTS since he came out. Rodrygo feels faster, not sure why but he does.
Shooting: 9/10
Shoots well on both feet. Haven't missed a clear cut chance since I got him. Excellent shot, Only reason it isn't 10/10 is because he doesn't have that natural shoot from anywhere cannon shot players like Ronaldo or my PIM Cantona have. Could move to a 10/10 with more use though.
Passing: 8/10
Nothing special here. Makes passes as well as you'd expect from a player with low 90's in the stat (with an engine he has 92 on 7 chem)
Dribbling: 9/10
Like shooting, this could be 10/10. I'd imagine players like TOTY Messi and PIM Ronaldinho dribble better, but he feels incredible on-ball. Not to mention the 5* skills that got added to this card which allows you to cut through defenders easily. Excellent dribbler, one of the best I've used this year
Defending: 5/10
Who cares.
Physical: 5/10
The biggest flaw with this card. Using a winger at striker, you can't really expect much else, but this guy is obviously pretty weak. You need to create some good space away from strong CB's, which is luckily pretty easy with his pace and dribbling. Very weak, makes up for the physical category with good stamina and jumping though.
FINAL VERDICT:
Get this card. I'd already say he's worth it without the upgrade. Personally, I don't think Real are going to beat Liverpool. But if they do, everyone who doesn't complete this will regret it. Already likely an end-game sub at worst, and with a +2, he could easily be one of the best wingers in the game for the rest of year.
If you can do some of the icon swaps fodder packs, he'll be really cheap to complete as well. Don't miss out.
