Unstoppable midfielder.
BySnufflestheMitten27-10-2022

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.

The Uruguayan Gullit
With the rate that this guy is getting special cards, he looks to be this years Nkunku but on steroids. RTTK Valverde is simply world-class, and this is before his inevitable upgrades that will surely make him TOTS worthy. After 98 games of usage, I have to say that he seldom lets me down in the midfield.
