English isn't my first language
Well, I like a lot Declan Rice in real life, so when I look this card obviously I wanna try it.
Rice is a good CDM, isn't the best, but if you need chemistry o you like it, is a great option
Rice feels like a third CB, he isn't good for do a lot of movements or if you think you can play with him in offensive you are wrong. He isn't bad for that, but, isn't a option for these works
Obviously, You don't look a great dribbler or a great B2B in Rice, you are looking for a CDM and in this case he plays well.
The pass is wonderful, all long passes are correct and he gives safety about don't loss the ball with passes in your half side.
He NEEDS a CM with great defense or another CDM, that's because sometimes he goes to the back and play like a CB.
I think he plays like Goretzka, but obviously, Goretzka is better in shoots and in dribbling, anyways, Rice could be your CDM if you like attack with your LB and RB, or in case you like to play a lot of counter attacks, that's because he is always in a good defending position, and his long passes are amazing
Overall, I think is a great option, however, are better options in another league and depending your game style, Oyenka is better
Defense, he is a very great defender, so if you aren't well in defense, he can help you, also, is very strong so he wins a lot of 1v1 duels
Pass, long passes are AMAZING, and he won't loss short passes in your side
Position, I love play with him because he is always defending the middle like a CB, so if the rival is attacking with wingers, I can use mi CB for defending and isn't a problem because Rice is covering their positions
Price, for 50K is very cheaper than another cdm PL options
Pace, isn't very bad, but you SHOULD put it a shadow
Shoots, for a CDM I think isn't a great problem, but if you need to shoot with him generally is very bad shoot
Dribbling, he feels slow, his weak foot is bad, and his agility sucks, he should be your last option for dribbling a lot
I will preface this review with telling you that I'm not a great Fifa player and this may not be what you were looking for in a player review. Anyway, as someone who doesn't play the game enough to earn the coins for the best players, I went looking for a good CDM for my main team and this Rice card came to mind. I play 4231 or 4312 in game with him set to stay back and cover centre and he is very good at this role for the price you pay for him. Good at brushing smaller players off the ball and his height helps cut out dangerous through balls. Does sometimes struggle to catch players on the break and does occasionally wander too far forward. He's also not someone to dawdle on the ball with either due to his poor balance. Passing is obviously great with the upgrade and can win headers pretty well. Poor shooting but that is inconsequential for the role that he plays.
