86 - Rulebreakers

The Masqued Mamba
By ScandolaFUT2, 05-11-2021

Buddies,


Let's talk a bit about Antonio Rüdiger RuleBreakers! (if you like the review please follow me and give me some support on my IG : scandal_fut)


For my FUT champions (13V-7D), I decided to use this card although the price discourage me at first (320k on ps4). But, what a good decision to replace my Upamecano IF with the Masked Mamba! A real snake, he wildly attacked every player crossing his path, whether it was the Fekir UCL, the Vinicius IF or the CR7.


These forces are, first of all, these pace statistics. His acceleration coupled with his body type gives the impression of controlling a formula 1. He can catch up any attacker but also it allows to project himself forward very easily after a ball recovery. With the last update and the feeling that the players are heavy tractors, I had difficulty relaunching or advancing towards the opposing camp with Kimpembe and Upamecano IF. While with him, I can lift the ball very high on the field for a quick counterattack. Another strength is of course his physical and defensive abilities, it looks like he's starved to death and assaulting all players. You just have run on the attackers, and he gets the ball. I have also noticed that he has an impressive number of favorable rebounds compared to other defenders. Finally, he has a passing ability which is above average (+ bonus: 3 stars W.F.) for a defender which avoid certain balls losses but also to trigger laser passes from the defense to lead lightning counter attacks. As a bonus, he is easily integrated into a team (German and Premier League) and he is one of the best leading players on corners and will allow you to score regularly on direct corners (4 goals during my FUT Champ).


Regarding these weaknesses, I must admit that a defender over 300k is a significant investment and the impact of a defender on the performance of the team is less important than a striker. So, buy it in case your team is already well supplied in attack. In addition, I personally find that at the beginning it is a little difficult to control this player because of its speed statistics. Sometimes I would miss the attacker during an interception because he was too fast and sharp. But after a few games, he was the best of my defenders. Finally, his endurance can be a problem when faced with attackers who have just entered on the field in the last minutes of the game or during potential overtime. So, it is important to have a good defender on the bench in the event that a score needs to be held at the end of a game or during overtime.


In conclusion, he shocked me and, in my opinion, he easily ranks in the top 3 of the best non-icon defenders. Having already tested Varane, Kimpembe, Marquinhos and Upamecano IF, I find it above these last mentioned. But I must admit that the price is also much more substantial. Thus, it is appropriate for a team with a budget above 1M and otherwise it is better to first invest in offensive players and fall back on players such as Kimpembe or Koundé in defense who are doing the job also well.

One of the best CBs in the game

he is one of the greatest cbs in the game his blocking and last man tackles are game changers he can out pace the quickest attackers in the game such as : Dembele, Werner, Mbappe, Vinicius I have him paired up with Varane together they are the best CB duo in the game 100% would recommend. (but a bit overpriced imo) (DIV 4)
