He is very much balanced for a b2b, and i reckon he is one of the best highlight B2B cards, and my favourite one to use. He really has no weaknesses other than finishing and balance if we count that.

He is not slow, his dribbling is actually good enough, passing is also good, with both low and lofted pass stats being at 88 and 87. He is good defensively as well due to having decent defense stats with being 188 cms tall. Also is strong with 86 PC. Also scores freekicks sometimes

A highlight B2B card being this good is not something i would've expected, and the good news was that you could select him with the selection contract!

The most elite FITB i have is Bebeto, and the best DLF i have is Rooney. And i always feel like Bebeto is always more available whenever i need a passing option, while also making runs behind the defense when there's a chance, but deep lying forward players are just a bit weird to me at CF position, their movements seem a bit random to me, sometimes they are dropping into Midfield, and sometimes they are just not there. I use DLF at SS, since that works rather than having a DLF at CF.

Knowing that Van Basten is one of the most popular strikers in the F2P community, many players must he familiar with the playstyle, so would appreciate some imputs from y'all. Is it better to pair a Goal Poacher with a CF FITB, or a Goal Poacher with a SS DLF?

IMO that del piero card design looks absolutely BUNS.

What's with Real Madrid having two of the most complete midfielders in the world right now, Bellingham and Valverde. Valverde can defend, Valverde can assist, Valverde can shoot rockets, Valverde can dribble, Valverde can do basically everything. I was watching the match which this card is based on. I still remember his third goal where he flips the ball above the defender and controls the ball amazingly while being inside the box and shoots it inside the net. The performance of Valverde and Courtois's assist and that clutch save was amazing.

I honestly don't know why this card only had 100 overall, his performance is amazing. I was playing i div 2 with my Real Madrid team, and he impressed me the most. I might give him a try in my main team again. Amazing performance

He is just always there in almost every match i play.

Even 1923 is not enough for Maddison or something. If I don't make it barely i am genuinely giving up playing another match would send me back to 1850 and then i would have to push again to go higher.

I was at 1908 and thought I'll play one more to win. I went back to 1850 and then had to push back to 1916. Even that was not enough. So i played one more. Lost a few went back to 1860. I played and pushed ahead again. And then finally reached here and now even this is not enough. All of this while facing p2w whales with 3250+ rated teams and under 100k best rank almost every single game. Facing Vieira like he was a free card, atp i see him more than Rijkaard, everyone and their grandma has a Vieira who is just there to ruin my day.

This is genuinely exhausting now i don't wanna repeat the same thing, going back down and then pushung up again.

I am officially giving up if this is not enough, Maddison is not even worth it. He better score every single game if i sonehow get him

Isn't it crazy that you could get the division rewards while being in division 2 above 1750 or around that mark.

Man the insane amounts of rigging I've felt in this game mode is just insane. Mike Maignan turns into prime spiderman. My opponent only did random through ball spam, and he scored a goal through a corner, and equalises it. Meanwhile my players keep missing and the shots on target get saved by this Maignan

Aree y'all prepared for tomorrow's rank pushing?

And David De Gea is on D form when i needed him the most. Hopefully Arijanet Muric would save me. My Defense is good i would say, still not good enough against Batistutas and Samuel Eto's and all the Gullits tomorrow. My Ferdinand was my only defense against tall ahh strikeds. Let's see what happens.

Matthaus and me against the whole defenses let's go!

He is the same height and has a similar player model. With Shadow Hunt and that speed he could be a great RB option.

Maybe this is as close to Thuram F2P players can get

Destroyer vieira is so much more aggressive in duels. He is all over the place against me, participating in duels almost every time i have the ball, and due to his busted player model he even wins more than 90% of them. He is always there no matter what i do, always pressing aggressively and winning back the ball. I give ahead a lofted pass up the pitch in hope of winning a header, but even there he is just there winning that aerial duel and taking back the ball. Just insanely annoying to face. A huge fast mad man with octopus legs and arms pressing you aggressivly from behind must be so horrifying to face. Imagine you're a player trying to shield the ball from this creature, you'd be traumatized ffs.

In comparison, the Anchor man version is less aggressive, he doesn't press as much as the destroyer version, neither does he participate in duels as much as him. So against an Anchor man, you usually get more time to think about how to get past them, since they usually sit deep as compared to destroyers, maintaining their defensive line. Meaning you can get some time to think about what you're doing other than the destroyer who's just madly intercepting everything and pressing.

Okay nah but seriously, imagine you're a player and see this guy with HUGE and MASSIVE arm and leg reach just dashing at you, and you are trying to shield the ball. What can you even do?

I reached division one in pvp for the first time, with an unbeaten streak all the way to 1908 rating (I'm sorry for saying this so often, but it's the first time for me and I'm very happy and proud of my achievement)

I just wanted to appreciate these cards. I'm arranging them in the order of their importance in my team.

1. Rio Ferdinand

Rio Ferdinand completely solved my defense. I really needed a reliable Build up CB who is not slow, but is still good at aerial duels. And with incredible luck, i was able to get him through treasure link. He closes down so many attacks by himself. I honestly don't know where to start about him. He wins aerial duels most of the times, he can take care of the tall strikers, he can take care of almost anyone you put in his way. Absolutely CLASS defender.

2. Cristiano Ronaldo

Man this card is so good. I really wanted a striker who us complete - a striker who can score all kinds of goals, who is good aerially, who is good physically who can score headers as well as banger ground goals. And Ronaldo was the best 2k coins spent. First few weeks I didn't think much of him, he was good, but soon i started to notice how amazing his runs, movements and overall performance is. In all the matches i played, he is the most consistent at scoring. I tried all the CF combinations with the strikers i have, but any CF combo without him just didn't work the same. Ronaldo + Suarez is the best Striker combination i have right now, and him and Suarez complete each other perfectly.

3. Dummy runner Raul

I use him as a AMF during defense and SS during attack besides Ronaldo, and he creates amazing Space for Ronaldo to exploit. He is just built to assist my strikers. I was sleeping on dummy runners, and now I can't NOT use them.

4. Wayne Rooney

One of the best free cards ever given. He is very complete in all aspects. He can do everything. Amazing as a deep lying forward. I use him as AMF/SS and he drops to Midfield to be a passing option for my midifelders, and he also creates passing combinations with my strikers, and give him some extra passing skills, he's even better.

Thanks to Konami for dropping these amazing cards. Especially Ronaldo, i don't think F2P players would ever get another affordable Ronaldo card. It's not free, but it was possible for F2Ps to save and get him, since months before the world cup even started, everyone started saving coins and recommending others the same in case a good pack dropped, i did the same and was able to buy the Portugual Pack.

I'm worried because i am afraid to play any further matches, as i might go on a losing streak :(

Be ready to face this demon
