Rui Costa Player Review
Pros
Great Passing & Playmaking Ability
All types of passes - short, long, through balls - are precise, making him an excellent creator.
Good Speed & Acceleration
For a CAM, he is fast enough to make quick runs and transition smoothly in attack.
Excellent Finishing & Shooting
Stronger foot finishing is top-tier, and his 4* weak foot still allows him to convert many chances.
5'11" With Solid Physicality
Not the tallest, but his physical strength helps him hold off defenders and maintain possession.
Smooth Dribbling & Ball Control
Feels quick and responsive, with great agility that allows him to maneuver through tight spaces easily.
Key Traits
Has Long Shot Taker, Playmaker, Flair, and Outside Foot Shot traits, enhancing his overall attacking play.
Versatile & All-Round Playstyle
Can contribute defensively by winning the ball and immediately transitioning into an attack.
Perfect Positioning
Always in the right spot to receive passes and create goal-scoring opportunities, helping in link-up play.
Cons
4* Weak Foot
While still decent, a 5* weak foot would have made him more reliable in every situation, as he can occasionally miss certain shots.
Conclusion
Rui Costa is an outstanding CAM with excellent passing, dribbling, shooting, and physicality. His playmaking ability and overall versatility make him a strong choice, though a 5* weak foot would have made him even better.
