Hello and welcome to my Robbie Keane review.

This is my first review of the year and oh boy what a card.

I played him as a ST beside Son in a 4-1-2-1-2 (2) and as a central ST in a 4-2-3-1 and I think he's better in a 2 ST formation. I'm gonna be honest with you guys he's a machine. I didn't expect him to be that good when I picked him. His pace is really noticable since he's not that tall he got this little "midget" thing, he's fast when he's going to the opponent goal you can't catch him, what impressed me is the shooting of this card every shots are dangerous from both feets, I scored like 5 or 6 longshots with him and to be honest I'm not very good at it on this Fifa so imagine if you are good with long shots. Dribbling is very good too, left stick dribbles are dangerous with him, he doesn't feel heavy at all in comparision with Son, move quickly not clunky. Class. The passing is OK I mean you know this is FIFA, even a player with 60 passing can replicate some Iniesta passes so whatever, It's not perfect but It's not bad (short passes are very good tho). Defending ? Who cares. Physicality, this man is a brute when he lose the ball he runs into the CB like a pitbull, his stamina is very good you can play 120 min without problems. Only downside is his strength he can get pushed very easily so you need to pass the ball in the good timing. So I scored 47 goals in 33 games (only Div 2 Rivals). I bought him for 255k and to be honest I think he's worth it at this stage of the game he's class, gives you great links. I don't know why he's that cheap probably cuz the lenghty meta but who cares. Anyway thanks for reading it I hope I convinced you to buy him ! (English is not my main language so I'm sorry)

I play on old gen, so the AcceleRATE feature isn't enabled in game for me - he probably plays differently on new gen.

However, all round a very solid card at this point of the game. Played with a hunter as a ST in a 4-2-3-1 and 75 goals scored in 44. Very fast and extremely clinical on either foot, with clever attacking AI. Dribbling also is nothing to be sniffed at. He is a top striker, and will be until TOTY and possibly after.

Pace 9/10: Very good - can outpace most CBs. The combination of his attacking AI, Hunter-assisted pace and 'get in behind' means he often makes unstoppable runs through the 2CBs. Sometimes, all you need to do is hit Y.

Shooting 9/10: Clinical. 4* weak foot is super helpful, he's scoring most of his shots inside the box. Long shots are decent too.

Dribbling 8/10: Very usable. It's not that he feels clunky at all, just compared to Alejandro Gomez behind him, there is a noticeable difference. Dribbling still really good, his turning doesn't feel too slow.

Passing 8/10: Does the job. I've only used mostly short passing with his and there's no problems with this aspect - he's not often hitting mad through balls or anything so there's no issue here.

Defending: N/A

Physical 7/10: He's a little flimsy, but he does have a bit of a jam factor sometimes - it does feel like it's more than just FIFA jam too. The low physicality is not very noticeable though, he's often breezing around players anyway so I wouldn't let it put you off.
