Declan Barry Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Name: Ivan Rakitić Date of birth: 10th March 1988 (22 years old) Nationality: Croatian/Swiss (Capped for Croatia Original club: Schalke 04 Position: AMC Buying value: January 2011 Bosman Wages: £50k p/w Recommended for: Top division clubs (brought with Chelsea) Leagues loaded: England Though I got him in January 2011 (current date 1st August 2012) he has quickly become one of my best players at 24 years old. Not only a brute attacking force but a solid defender too. Crossing 16 Aggression 9 Pace 16 Dribbling 20 Creativity 12 Stamina 18 Heading 13 Decisions 18 Strength 13 Passing 20 Leadership 10 Shooting 16 Movement 18 Tackling 15 Positioning 15 Technique 19 Teamwork 18 Rakitić may only be 22 at the start of the game but his teamwork and passing attribute make him a great playmaker and this is shown by notching up 10 assists in 22 starts in his first full season at Chelsea. What sweetens the deal for me is his competent playing positions from DML to AMR and if needed he can slot in anywhere in the midfield and all this for a player who is free after sixth months of the game. As a Croatian he plays nearly every game for his country too and can not only attack but beat men (dribbling 20, movement, pace 16) but tackle (tackling 15, positioning 15) while chipping in the odd goal (shooting 16, technique 19) making him an all rounded player and one to consider if you can afford his wage. All in all Ivan Rakitić is one of the bargains you must get in FMH2011 if you have the wage bill and with an average of over 7.50 a season will constantly perform for you as he is a footballer who not only possesses skill but great mental attributes too plus, if you are looking for a profit then he quickly rises to £37m within a season and a half.

ragingbull Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 OMG haha. I was just about to suggest him on your Vibe forums. He really is awesome, I bought him for Arsenal in 2011 and he has become deadly with Fabregas, Nasri and my regen mids. Definitely a good investment...

Declan Barry Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 RagingBull, been putting off write it for a few days so great minds are alike . A sound investment and builds the assists up and scores too. Keify, thanks I am trying to do some good scouting guides on here and Vibe rather than the usual (who is a good player? Rakitic) .

jlawlor91 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 That's decent. I saw he was available for a free and I had a feeling that he's good, so I signed him to come in June for Villa. Reading this posts just made my life easier for the start of next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
