Since Konami has a habit of tweaking players height every now and then can we expect rio ferdinand height to be 196cm when his paid cards get released. Saliba, courtois, van dijk, joan garcia, cherki, are now of the examples whose height have been tweaked recently by konami.

I got Xabi Alonso on the random spin, then chose Cannavaro(he's also my captain); both are amazing players that still start for me in every game unless arrow form is downwards, wh!ch is never the case for Canna. However, that does mean I rarely use my treasure link Chiellini.

This time around I'm going for Rio to replace my CL POTW Van Dijk; I didn't get Nicolas since I was on vacation, and if he turns out to be a daily box player, then I'll choose Aguero(if leaks turn out to be true) or Seaman(I'm an Arsenal fan).

frank Rijkaard seems like a great option to me

My initial thoughts on this pack. This is subjective and people can have different opinions

C: Not good

Dennis Bergkamp - Creative Playmaker - Momentum Dribbling
How can konami give this kind of stats to a player, especially when Ef26 is almost over. He has no speed. Okay he is a creative playmaker so he aint gonna run much, BUT his acceleration is just about 85, his balance is 82 (depends on ur build), so I think he’s gonna be really really slow and easy to be knocked off.

Daniele Massaro - Fox in the Box - Phenomenal Finishing
He is a 1m79 Fox in the box, his ball-treatment stats are horrible, his kicking power can’t even reach 90. His speed and acceleration, OA are okay but yeah he is still not good even even for f2p

Rui Costa - Classic No.10 - Phenomenal Pass
His playstyle is definitely niche and most people don’t like it at all. Also his OA is extremely low for a classic no.10 (80~83), his finishing is not good at all, which is important for a classic no.10 who usually linger around the edge of the box for long shots.

Shinji Ono - Hole Player - Attack Trigger
His player model is relatively small, with 72 physical contact, I think it’s gonna be extremely easy to knock him off the ball. His finishing is on the lower end for a hole player, his dribbling stat is so low compared to his 99 ball control. Also, his showtime skill is a trust me bro one, so I think he’s bad.

B: Decent

Mark van Bommel - Anchor Man - Long-reach Tackle
Despite his good showtime skill, 1m87 with leg length 7 makes him not op. Compared with free Rijkaard, he has a significantly smaller player model; stat-wise, his aggression is a lot better, but physical contact is his weakness (about 87-88). So in my opinion, he is at the same level with free Rijkaard if not a bit worse.

Marco Reus - Prolific Winger - VIsionary Pass
His speed is not enough for a winger in my opinion, so I would rather play him at AMF or SS. Solid ball-treatment stats, decent passing and speed, finishing <90. His player model is really small and his physical contact is 72 so yeah he is kinda weak. Still a decent card.

A: Solid

Paul Scholes - Box to Box - Low Screamer
He is an offensive-minded Box to Box, ball-treatment stats can hit 90s, his passing is really good, 80+ finishing and Low Screamer with 94 kicking power is good for long shots meta. His physical contact can reach 80. His weakness is his defending, just about mid 70s for a box to box is not really good, so I recommend you to play him as a playmaking midfielder.

Rijkaard - Destroyer - Fortress
Big-sized destroyer, good defensive stats, 90 speed, 80 acceleration, 90 physical contact, good player model. His acceleration can be higher, his passing (low 80) can also be higher. Definitely a really good card.

David Seaman - Defensive GK - GK Spirit Roar

Compared to David de Gea (D1 reward), his stats are a bit higher. Also his arm length is 1,3 cm longer than de Gea, his leg length is 2,7 cm longer than de Gea, so I assume that he is a bit better. What makes him less appealing is his style - Defensive GK, which is not so good in through ball meta with Attacking Surge. Still a very good card.

S: Beast
Rio Ferdinand - Build up - Aerial Fortress
Definitely the pick of the pack. Good defensive stats, 90 speed, 80 acceleration, 90 physical contact, 1m92, 11 leg length. You cannot think of any better f2p card Konami has ever given to us. Personally, I would pick him!

Again, I’m just a normal player, this is my personal opinion, and all players have their rights to choose any card. Share your thoughts!

my players are moving like they have two haalands attached to them.

the competitive disadvantage with bad signals is crzy.

everything is delayed by 1 sec which is crucial against players who just spam press.

I cant side step the press or pass in time because the game is taking years to register my inputs.

and my opponents knows my inputs are delayed so he just 2nd man presses me the entire game while his team ai auto blocks passing lanes . and for him it takes one through ball to bypass my entire middle field.

I can't break the pressure because even if I predicted my opponents movement and did a move to dodge it doesn't register until he already stole the ball.

I can't even react to the offensive when there doing skill moves because even when I anticipate it my input goes in too late .

I played with someone I know recently and the game is so smooth I can dribble and I can finally use my players to their fullest potential. I simply can't in divisions which sucks.

anyone else experiencing this?

How are we feeling about this

Looks like konami designers were working overtime for the wc💔💔

Has anyone got him? I heard alot of complaints that he feels heavy on the ball, I wanted to spin for him but I need some further information.

I mostly just need a sub for Zlatan and he feels like he fits the criteria, but it's always nice to hear some other insight.

what pack could it be?

Compare to free Build Up epic we received in the past (Beckenbauer & Baresi) he is miles better in term of pure stats. Compare to recent Schlotterbeck, Rio can be used in EPL event, has better model (1cm taller with 11 leg length) and has better aerial even w/o A.Fort activated (though Schlotterbeck's tackle is better). Compare to Van Dijk (who is quite old now) & Saliba (just gone through a serious back injury), he has perma B-form needed for a regular starter.

He also has the gk high punt & Low punt skills

Okay if someone goes to the event we all have one favor if there's a qr code can you please share it to us because if they have more cards that's nice.
