90 - Icon

4.0

What an absolute beast.

By klaudmalasi, 16-10-2021

I needed a legend that was a strong link to IF Vini Jr. and saw Rivaldo and decided to give him a spin. This card is unbelievable; I have tried many different strikers this year and Rivaldo i feel is one of the most clinical strikers on the game. If you manage to pull a shot off with his left foot then it is game over. I used the hunter chem style to boost his pace as well as jacking off his shooting to near enough max. I picked him up for 716k and to me that is a steal he should be way higher. One of his main cons is his 2* weak foot, but even so does not feel like 2* as most shots on his right foot challenge the goalkeeper, but make sure to fire every shot with his left. Even as a CAM, he could fit in pefrectly with his 88 short passing and 87 vision as well as his 93 curve. Finesse shots are broken this year also, and writing this after the 'outside-the-box-finesse nerf', he still manages to score most finesse shots with his finesse shot trait which is a massive bonus.

Pace (With the hunter chem style he feels fine)

Dribbling (When dribbling with R1/L1 and just left stick dribbling he feels so slick, especially with 89 agility, 91 dribbling, 92 ball control, 90 composure & 90 reactions)

Shooting (His base stats alone are good enough, so by sticking a hunter on his makes him unstoppable, especially with 93 base shot power which goes to 97)

Passing (Except for long passing which is at 83, every other stat is near 90, meaning he can also play as a CAM or help set up attacks really nicely.)

4* Skills

Stamina (83 stamina is fine and never caused me any problems)

2* Weak Foot (This is the main downside with this card, so try not to get it on his right, otherwise you have a clinical striker)

Jumping & Head Acc. (70 Jumping & 75 Head Acc. is not the best)
