Detail Review
Pace
(+)
For a defensive midfielder, his pace is outstanding. He covers large areas of the pitch quickly, tracks runners with ease, and recovers possession before attackers can create danger. His mobility makes him feel much faster than most CDMs.
((9.4/10))
Dribbling
(-)
His dribbling feels composed for a holding midfielder. Close control is decent, turns are average, but he remains balanced under pressure, making it easy to escape pressing and keep possession. His 3 star skill move sometimes makes dribbling hard.
((9.3/10))
Shooting
(+)
Shooting is solid for a CDM. He can strike the ball well from distance and finish simple chances when needed, though scoring is clearly not his primary role.
((8.7/10))
Passing
(+)
Passing is one of his biggest strengths thanks to his Bullet Pass playstyle. Short passes, long switches and through balls are consistently accurate, helping him control the tempo and start attacks from deep without mistakes.
((9.6/10))
Positioning
(+)
His defensive positioning is exceptional. He reads the game brilliantly, cuts passing lanes early and is always in the right place to intercept attacks. His movement makes defending feel effortless.
((9.8/10))
Defending
(+)
This is where Rijkaard truly shines. Tackles are clean, interceptions are consistent and he wins possession with authority. The Anticipate PlayStyle makes him even more reliable against dangerous attackers.
((9.9/10))
Physical
(+)
His physical presence is excellent. He wins shoulder challenges comfortably, shields the ball well and stays strong in midfield duels without losing balance.
((9.7/10))
Stamina
(+)
Stamina is excellent. He maintains his work rate from kickoff until the final whistle, allowing him to stay effective in both defending and build up play throughout the match.
((9.7/10))
WeakFoot
(+)
The 4★ weak foot is reliable for a CDM and rarely causes problems, but a 5★ weak foot would have made his passing under pressure even more complete.
((9.2/10))
Final Verdict
120 TWG Frank Rijkaard is one of the most complete defensive midfielders in the game. He combines elite defending, intelligent positioning, excellent passing and dominant physicality into a single package. His mobility allows him to cover the midfield effortlessly, while his composure on the ball helps control possession and launch attacks. There are very few weaknesses to this card, making him an outstanding choice for anyone looking for a top tier CDM.
