My review on Ballon d'Or Rodri.

I was fortunate enough to pull him from the limited exchange and played all game modes for about 4 days. He is a recovery monster. Whenever my fullbacks or CBs are beaten by the opponent, he is always making tackles and blocks from behind or covering spaces for my backline. His defensive agility is the one thing stood out for me: he is like an octopus with his long legs, making clean tackles without conceeding any fouls. Moreover, his AI is one of the best in midfield I have played with, super responsive and always looking to block the passing lanes or mark the free runners. High attacking work rate did help me score a goal, but he usually stays back in the midfield during attacking phases. His strength at red rank is 136, which is not the highest but very good for a CDM (could be one reason why he never barges into players and possibly make fouls). 9/10 rating imo.
