Detail Review

Pace

Riise is very quick for a fullback. Even when he pushes forward aggressively during attacking phases, he has the recovery pace to sprint back and stop counter attacks effectively.

((9.6/10))

Defending

His marking can sometimes feel a little average, especially against very sharp wingers. However, his tackling ability is still solid and dependable, often winning the ball cleanly. What really stands out is his high defensive awareness, which helps him make excellent interceptions.

((9.2/10))

Physical

His physicality is impressive for a fullback. He has the strength to hold his ground in shoulder-to-shoulder duels and doesn’t get pushed off the ball easily by wingers.

((9.2/10))

Workrates

One downside is his High/Medium workrate. Because of this, Riise tends to push forward quite often and occasionally leave his defensive position. However, this issue is usually manageable thanks to his top-tier recovery pace, which allows him to quickly track back.

((8.5/10))

Crossing

He is one of the best crossing fullbacks in the game, consistently delivering pin-point crosses into the box. His crosses are extremely accurate, making him a dream option for cross spammers.

((9.9/10))

Overall Rating: 9.3/10

Final Verdict

Riise is a very solid option at the LB position thanks to his elite pace, strong physical presence, and excellent defensive awareness. His exceptional crossing ability makes him a huge offensive asset as well. While his attacking workrate can occasionally pull him out of position, his recovery speed usually compensates for it, making him a dependable and impactful fullback overall.
