Player Review

87 - Flashback SBC
3.5
Not an L
By Mrvn1, 19-12-2022

After seeing a ton of people being unsure if they should complete him, I will follow up with a serious review on him after round about 50 games of WL and Elite Division.


Played him 50% of the time as a right Forward in a 4321 and the other 50% as a right Striker in a 41212 (2) and he was the definition of the word outstanding.


After trying many top tier attackers this year this man managed to get the highest Goal to game ratio of all of them, replacing WC Butra who was a menace.


Lets go over Pro's and Con's

-Pace: Phenomenal acceleration and sprint speed (fastest guy with Mbappe and Al Oweiran) when receiving the ball especially with his -


-Positioning: Cristiano is always on the line of the last defender, he's been offside approximately 1 out of 40 times, that's why he's so hard to defend against, because you will not catch up to him once he's past your defender


-Shooting: I'd have to put this as a Con too because he's not 100% consistent. It might have been scripted games or bad servers but in like 1 out of 7 games he misses the easiest sitters inside the box, no matter what you do. It doesn't have to be this way for you but I wanted to mention it. Compared to WC Butra who scored an average of 1-2 goals a game, Cristiano sometimes hits nothing and most of the times bangs in quadruples+


-Body Type CR7: what is there to say? unique running style, insane shooting animations, glitching through defenses, simply one of the best if not the best body type in the game.


-Dribbling: really fast skills, very small touches and still fast as a lambo


-Composure: 3 defenders attacking him? No problem, he will still finish no matter if Vieira and Lucio Dragonball-fusioned tackled him. With a stunning 98 COMPOSURE he is CLINICAL




-Linkability: obviously the biggest concern there is, how do you link him? I played him on 2 chem due to Silva, Dalot, Cancelo and Carvalho which have already been in my main team.

Nontheless he his horrific to link and if you can't comfortably get him on at least 2 chem, don't do this sbc.


-Price: 500k is a lot for an unlinkable card. If he would've been a Man United prem player 500k would be a slight touch too much, but not overpriced. As a 87 rated sbc I'd have valued him at around 400k


-Headers: even tho he has the CR7 body type he hasn't scored a single header nor won a necessary aerial duel, really bad at headers if not unusable.


Shooting: as mentioned above most of the time he is the goat but there will possibly be some games where he just doesn't hit the net



Conclusion:


If you have the fodder and the possibility to link him and would like to play him as the young man united Ronaldo go ahead and do him


If you'd have to spend more than 150-200k on him, not use 5*skills and can't link him please do not do him.

Ronaldo the lenghty Boi

First of all.. Cr7 is much better than last year if u play him right, i played 30+ Rivals Games and need to say that he is an absolute beast. You need to play him with architect to get him lenghty and then u have a meta bugged striker and the pace is just a number it feels incredible ingame.

The Portuguese Goat

Many people won't miss this sbc. This type of playes such as (Ronaldo-Messi-Neymar) are always fun cards to use and the most important part that these players are unique and overpowered in game.At first after seeing his stats i didn't expect him to be a top tier or endgame player but after Playing 20 fut game with him i won 14 and loss 6, he was incredible. His stats not matching with his in game performance p...

Perfect player

The best. Perfect. Nothing can express my feelings for this card; it is so good in every way, scored a goal 36 meters away, he has amazing finishing, it even shows 99 everything in shooting, with engine he is ultimate player, shapeshifter from FIFA 22 shifted to FIFA 23, won 20-0 fut champs and got Vini as a pick, was going to lose 1-3 but subbed him at the 73rd minute and bro scored 2 goals, an equalizer saved me from 19-1...
