84 - Rare
4.5
Broken card in a good way
By hekt0r, 05-01-2023

Bought him in the beginning of Fifa 23. Seemed like a decent card for a few months.

He is still in my starter squad. I have tried gold Walker, Cancelo and some other RB's. Also TOTT Dalot and PTG Walker in drafts(both on full chem) a few games.

I still prefer Reece James on my main squad. Walker for example feels too clunky.

Reece feels faster than the 81 pace on his card. Thanks to good dribbling and 85 strength he doesn't feel clunky and can outmuscle a lot of players.

Because his workrates are high attacking and medium defending he will attack even when using stay back instructions but for me at least he can always recover when needed.

Defending side like said before he is fast enough and strong enough to bully wingers.

Overlapping/attacking he feels nimble thanks to good dribbling. Passing and crossing are more than enough and he can score some bangers when needed.

Sometimes when bombarding up and down the right side his 83 stamina shows, he can get quite tired in the end of the game.


All in all if you need all in one RB for your team with ~3k coins then there is no better choice...at least in the Premier League.

The beast James

I packed him and later I packed Trippier too. I tried them and James destoyed Trippy, I felt him faster and physically superior, he makes good passes and sometimes he could be used to make an skill. I didn't tryed him at MCD, but it looks good. At RB, if you can put him into your team, make it. Good luck :D

very mediocre

i play on old gen. I sold vini because i just wanted to try out some fun players so i bought james. He just was very mediocre he was never the best but also not the worst. When i first used him i used him i just him as a rw in a 433(2) and a cf in a 4321 out wide. I thought he was wasted on the wing to after that i used him as a st in a 4231. Even though he was at his best there he still was just mediocre...

Not your RB...

I've had Reece James coming out of a "little" pack with just 2 rare gold players, so I was pretty lucky.I was thrilled when seeing this guy, because at the moment I'm on a tight budget and I thought he would be a massive upgrade in my RB department.When looking at his stats, I thought he would combine the pros of my last two RBs.The pace and agility of WC Frimpong and the strength of Showdown Meunier.
