Ronaldo is going to be S+ tier card, Henry is very good, definitely not on the level of someone like Ronaldo, but he is extremely fast. The way he gets in the behind is insane in this game, he’s definitely an S tier card. Puskas might have a freestyle weak foot, but the shooting on that left foot is absolutely insane. The dribbling ability you get from him as well, left stick dribbling is so good with him, and the pace behind is top tier. We put him also in the S tier. Eto’o is a good card, but he isn't as good as Puskas, we are putting him in the A+ tier. Rooney is solid card as well, 3-star skill moves is a little bit annoying to have in that striker position, we put Rooney in the A tier. Ferdinand, Team of the Year card, one of the best cards in this game in that center back position is unbelievable. Pace he catches up to pretty much every single person, they really boosted this card up nicely. Put him into the S+ tier. Capita's been very solid in that center back position, he's also a very good fullback as well. Put him in the S tier. Butragueno, 4- star skill moves on this card, the shooting is so much better on the base, this card is more of a winger, we put him in the A+. Laudrup is a crazy good going forward, the whip pass play style plus this guy has is obviously broken, the pace to get forward as well insane, he feels good on the ball as well, he's a very solid fullback. We put him in the A+ tier. Zambrotta, 5-star weak foot, 4-star skill moves, he’s very good defensively, going forward is where you're going to notice the issue though, the dribbling ability going forward is so poor. So put him in the A tier. Gullit, one of the best midfielders in this game. Team of the Year Sawa is incredible as a box to box midfielder insane, gives you that long shot ability, gives you that pace in the midfield, that passing ability, defensively she puts in strong tackles. So the S tier for Sawa. Roberto Carlos is very good, but the height definitely is a little bit annoying. So we put him in the A+ tier.
