88 - World Cup Stories
Wow. As an Everton fan who still feels a little bit of an attachment to Richy I had to try this card out. He is simply stunning. Strong, quick enough, and my god brilliant finishing. Despite taking a 100k loss on the card due to the composure of Marquinhos, I hold this card in high regard. He was simply sublime for me this weekend. I had used him in a couple of qualifiers and his finishing was just brilliant, whacking balls into the top corners, leaving goalkeepers with no chance in one on ones. The 5 star weakfoot is so crucial to his finishing, and played a big role in his 19 goals from 15 matches this weekend, not to forget the other 8 assists, averaging almost an involvement and a half per game. While it is my belief he can not play striker with another big body due to his relatively low agility and balance, when paired with Di Natale he was weaponised. His aerial ability allowed for a quick dink up the top if my midfield or defence came under significant pressure or I wanted to boot the ball away from goal, of which he would usually win the headed contest. Not only was his aerial ability helping out when being pressured but his finishing from crosses is sound, and he is capable of a getting a few dunks in. As someone who has used Mbappe, Richarlison, while not Mbappe dangerous, and is a very different player, feels as though he posses a signifcant threat up top, especially when paired with an shorter, more agile striker next to him. It was great fun to use him and he his a brilliant card.
