El Gran Capitán

By droghtak, 05-11-2021

Hi guys, this is my first review. But I've been playing FIFA since first FIFA (yes, im in my forties).

I have attached the link of my squad in case you are interested; I mainly play 4222, 4231 and 442. Elite division and rank2 futchamps.

I bought Raul because it was becoming difficult to link everything together; he had the hard task to replace Sonaldo. So I will focus on comparing Raul to Son:

I will say that I feel Raul passing is better, dribbling is also better. In shooting I'm not sure, I think Son is probably better due to 5* WF. I prefer the H/M WR to the H/H of Son, Son even on Stay Forward did get back to the defense too much. After trying him, I can say I prefer Raul over Son; the price tag is noticeable but obviously all icons are pricey; this is worth the coins IMO, way better to spend money in a striker than in a defender for sure. And you will have your links fixed.

You will like Raul if you like strikers that can dribble but are not weak, very well rounded card and even an aerial threat.

This guy could play really well on CAM I guess (good passing, dribbling, finese shot trait), but I play him as a striker.

I have tried Raul on several FIFAs and I think he fits current meta better than on previous editions; also take into account the date of the review.

To be honest, I bought Raul because I thought it would be a nice fix for the links, but I think he will be in my club for longer than expected. I love playing with this guy; he fits perfectly my playstyle. Not having 5* skills is bad for an striker obviously, but at least it forces me to keep it simple :-)

Shoting definetely very good

Superb passing for an striker in what matters (vision and short passing), even for a CAM

Good dribbling paired with more than enough physical (not silky as ben yedder, mbappe, etc; but better than Son and he is strong!)

Attacking AI is good, his attack positioning is very good. Always finds the right spot to be there -as he did in real life-

lacking 5* skills or 5* WF but he is Raul, he is well represented in that aspect -and at least has the 4/4-. More than enough IMO

Senor Raul - El Maestro

First of all. In Fifa 21 I was a Gold 1 Player. Now this Fifa I reached Rank 2 in the Weekend League, using Raul trough all 20 games as right striker in a 4 2 2 2 next to Insigne as my left striker .I did buy him for the weekend league in hopes he would let me reach a new level in attacking and he didn't disappoint me. So let's have a look on his stats (Chemistry style is HUNTER):Pace (9/10)With the...

RAUL THE SPANISH BULL

When I first got him out of the Icon Pack, I felt sad. I decided to sub him on mid game during my fut champs. He comes on out of nowhere and scores 2 beauties which gives me the win. For his price, It's a no brainer and you should get him if you're in need of an explosive striker. His stats are a lie and you'll eventually understand once you've tried him. Just go get him!!!!!!!!
