89 - Icon
I used RVP to try him out for the first time, I played him as a lone ST in a 4231 with an average 150k team around him. Ièm a qualified Champs player in div 3 almost div 2, and played him exclusively in Rivals and Champs Playoffs.
Pace - 7/10
Hes not slow but hes not fast either. You definitely cant use him to get in behind the defenders, so i used him with Target man instructions to get him to drop back to receive the ball instead of getting in behind. His combination of 83 pace and mediocre agility/balance makes him somewhat heavy as a runner, so i definitely recommend to surround him with pacey players that can get him the ball near the box.
Shooting - 10/10
Hands down the best shot i've used in this game bar none. He can EASILY score finesse shots on the left foot from 30-40 yards. If u get him on his left foot anywhere near the box just shoot and watch the magic happen. As for his 4* WF, it's good from inside the box, allows him to trick defenders playing to block his left, Outside the box however don't bother.
Passing - 8/10
Hes a good passer, better than most ST, short passing is elite, long passing wasn't bad either, chipped through balls were solid. I would say with his lack of pace and good passing, it wouldn't hurt if u wanted to try him out as a CAM.
Dribbling - 8/10
4* Skills is a big plus on any sort of big ST considering the likes of Haaland and Lukaku only have 3*. RVP is heavy on the ball but the good ball control helps a lot when trying to create space for the finesse of god. His skill moves also allow you to use good moves inside the box to separate him from his defenders and shoot.
Physical - 6/10
His physical was disappointing and left little to be desired. Hes not strong at all, bigger CB can bully him easily, his Jumping is low so he doesn't win many headers despite being the "Flying Dutchman". The biggest problem of all in his physical is hands down his stamina. He gets tired QUICK. by 65th min u have to sub him off or change him to a midfielder to cope with his horrible stamina.

The Flying Dutchman is unbelievable
Bought this guy cuz I love him so much since he joined United in 2012 and lifted the Premier League number 20.. just so many good memories he brought to me and other fellow United fans that season
I could have gone for the Base but I wanted to try this one first and he is nothing but class
It´s bloody Robin Van Persie if you loved him when he was playing then pull the trigger and purchase him right now
- Shooting - 10/10 - He can easily finesse it form downtown and he finishes everything!
- Passing - 8/10 - Really good passing and vision for a Striker
- Dribbling - 8/10 - Good dribbling can easily take one touch dribble to let off a shot if you know your move
- Heading - 8/10 - Very good heading, it´s the flying dutchman ofcourse
- Price - alot off you don´t have 800-900k so yeah his price is alot but it´s worth it
- Could be faster so his Base is probably better if you need more pace
- Stamina - he can´t be pressing alot cuz his stamina will than drain down so put him on Stay Forward and Conservative to get the most of him
- Really if you use him right there aint no cons

Ok, so, basically you can say "Van Persie is very similar to CR7" and you finish the review, and that's because it's a true
Van Persie has a very similar body type, agility and pass that CR7, also, he has a great shor and the same height, obviously, CR7 is better, and also CR7 has more pace and the 5 sm, thing that is very important in this stage o fifa, BUT, if you don't care about 5 sm, maybe this could be your man
Van Persie shoots and volleys are AMAZING, also he has a very great pass for a Striker, I thought the movementa and agility would be bad, but, isn it, indeed I use him as a Left Forward, it's notorious that he is a littoe bit slow for play on the sides, BUT, he can cross and be the second striker when is necessary
Note: Yes, are a lot of strikers better than RVP, and the pace is a very great problem, he isnt slow, but, if you compare with Mbappe, Vini, Chiesa, Neymar, Ginola, etc. It's obviously that he lose, but if you like it in the real life, try him, is a great option
Shoot: VOLLEYS ARE AMAZING
Pass: For a striker I love it, also crosses are very good
Positioning
Agility
Weak foot
Pace, in this stage of the game is slow, very slow
Balance, a very disgracefull thing
Defensive positioning, he isnt your first option for defending, BUT, he covers very bad his position
When I learned that Van Persie would be in Fifa 22, I immediately knew I had to try him out. I remember the header and the 5-1 win against Spain as if it was yesterday. I've used him in a 4321 as ST. Without a doubt he has one of the best shots in the game, anything in the 18-yards box is guaranteed to be a goal, as well as his finesse shots of outside the box are insane. the downside of this card is that it isn't very fast and feels a bit clunky ingame. also one thing is that after 60/70 minutes he is out of stamina and from an 800k striker you might expect a bit more. in my opinion Van Persie is a nice card to use if you are a fan of him or you like a type player like him but he is not a real game changer. with how the Fifa 22 gameplay works, players like Van Persie are certainly useful but I think for 800k you might be better off saving for players like Ronaldo or Di Natale.

RVP is quite possibly the the worst ST/CF/CAM I have used in the game. I would rather have Guardiola play in his position. He cannot recieve the ball unless hes standing still and has zero acceleration with the ball.
3/10 rating is what I am giving him being that he can only score from a freak kick because he is so immobile.
RIP to mid icon pack..
