Player Review
88 - Champions League
Back during RTTK, I was lucky enough to pack this card untradeable.
After getting some time to play Rivals with this card, I can wholly say Valverde is something else this year, as both a holding and b2b midfielder as he is incredible at breaking up plays and cutting passing lanes (with/without instructions) as well as moving the ball forward. H/H isn't a problem if you drop stay-back as an instruction when he plays CDM but he's much better when given the chance to be a box-to-box player; with 90 stamina he can be aggressive the entire 90.
-Defensive AI/Defending stats/breakup play
-Passing
-That lengthy pace.
-Price. 700k, at time of writing, is steep for most players early on.
-Shooting I guess? Not really looking for him to be a scoring threat, personally.
