Old Gen MONSTER

By vespa22, 24-05-2023

Rivaldo is unusual. But fantastic. I play on XB1 and he is very unique in the way he plays. He dribbles in this sort of slow motion that's extremely wierd, likely due to the really high dribbling stats and bodytype. However, due to this unusual ability he actually dribbles round many defenders in the game with ease. And when he is less successful which can happen with agile fullbacks, he can often bully them with his body and strength to recover the ball. He's able to score from stupid angles and is a physical presence on the pitch. He was played as a CAM for 40 games which would of awarded him a 3.5 star rating as he was not as good, but he needs to be at ST in a 2 striker formation or CF in a 4321. He may not always score, but he is a headache and a beast in linkup play. The game tally also includes giving 5-6 wins in champs.

If you don't care for using your Jairzinhos, Al Owairans and Mbappes, and you have a lot of fodder to burn, try Rivaldo.

One of the best finishers in the game. Lowest shooting stat is 95 long shots with a hunter

Medium/Low often means his stamina doesn't drain a lot and can easily play at least 90 minutes.

99 Shot power with a hunter

Finesse shot trait

94 reactions and 93 composure.

82 strength is a LIE. Feels like 90+ and will win a lot of muscle duels vs fullbacks and even weaker centerbacks (mid maldini, carvalho)

One of the best dribblers I have ever used, but it did take me 10 matches or so to get used to his wierd slow motion style.

Passing with 5* WF, 90 short pass, 89 vision is fantastic for a striker. Better then most cards on the market. For a CAM it's still very good.

93 FKA with 99 shot power, who needs the trait :P

Expensive - for liquid coins you can get better players. For sure. Or in other words, you don't have to adapt to his unique style.

When the gameplay gets slow, he gets hard to use, just as any other tall player.

Dribbling not as silky as other top tier players.

Positioning not as good as say Cruyff

Medium/low is also a double ended sword, as high/low definitely makes better runs.

So you got a brazilian LW

There you are, opening something and you see, Brazil, LW and the overall just climbs, but it stops at 92. And there is this bald headed beauty. Sure not as nice as the likes of Dinho etc. but still, barca legend yay. You try him out in some various postions some work, some don't. He has great shooting but that 2 star weak foot, oof. Some okay dribbling for a brazilian, and some good passing. After trying him out, you realiz...

Rivaldo

Phenomenal

Well, its simple, he is worth 1.5m coins and easily can be way cheaper due to so many fodder packs currently (i completed him for like 200k). On a hunter, he is so quick due to bodytype feels like lengthy. And finishing is basically S tier, w the 5 star Wf u will finish almost everything unless EA stops u from scoring. He has great passing and dribbling, the balance is only minimally noticable. 10/10 recommend to complete t...

Old Gen God. Favourite FIFA Card ever

Holy shit. On old gen this guy is absolutely insane. I play him up top either in 4321 or 4312 with Engine chem. All Brazil or all Barca team. I'm a 14-16 win player in champs. 58 games, 106 goals andn 19 assists - this is the most insane and by far the best record I've ever had on a card in FIFA. He's a hattrick machine. Honestly this is the most fun card I've used in any fifa since Pablo...
