Okay, here’s my blog post about my experience with Sergio Ramos in FC 24, written in the style you requested:
Alright, so I finally got around to messing with Sergio Ramos in FC 24. You know, the free one they gave out for a bit? Figured, why not, right? Couldn’t hurt to see if he was any good even if he is kinda old now.
First thing I did, I threw him straight into my main squad. I’m running a pretty standard 4-3-3, so he slotted in next to van Dijk. Didn’t really change my tactics much, just wanted to see how he’d perform naturally.
Then, I played like, maybe five or six games with him in Rivals. Initial thoughts? He’s surprisingly decent. His pace isn’t amazing, obviously, but he’s got that Ramos aggression. Dude flies into tackles like he’s still 25. Gets the job done!
- Pros: Strong in the tackle, good positioning (most of the time), and surprisingly good in the air. Plus, that aggression can be a real asset.
- Cons: Pace is a definite issue against super quick strikers. And sometimes his aggression gets him into trouble, leading to stupid fouls.
So then I started tweaking things. I put an Anchor on him to boost his pace and physical stats. Made a noticeable difference. He was able to keep up with faster attackers a little better, and his tackling became even more brutal which is funny.
Next up, I tried him in a back three. Put him in the middle, flanked by faster center backs. This actually worked pretty well. He could focus on winning headers and making those key tackles, while the other defenders covered the ground.
After a while, I messed around with different chemistry styles. Settled on the Shadow one for a bit just for extra pace and defending. Honestly, it didn’t feel that much different from the Anchor. Maybe a little quicker but not enough to write home about.
Ultimately, my conclusion is this: Sergio Ramos in FC 24 is a solid free card. He’s not gonna be a world-beater, but he’s definitely usable, especially if you build your defense around his strengths. He’s perfect for those starting teams or when you just want a cheap beast at the back. Worth using for a bit if you got him!
