Avantages

As a full-back, his pace makes him a great option for covering ground or when facing quick attackers in counter-attacks.

Standing tall at 6'2", Riise has the height to compete in aerial duels, both defensively and offensively.

With his powerful left foot, his shooting attributes give him a bit of unpredictability, especially when he's joining the attack.

He reads the game well, ensuring he's in the right place at the right time to intercept passes or shut down attacking lanes.

He is reliable when it comes to standing tackles, making him effective in one-on-one duels.

While he’s not as agile as some smaller full-backs, he can make quick turns and adjust his positioning well in tight situations.

One of the biggest advantages to this card are the work rates. He will constantly be involved in both attack and defense.

Inconvénients

The downside of having High/High work rates is that Riise's stamina might burn out during longer matches.

Riise might struggle with certain passes or crosses when using his non-dominant right foot.

John Arne Riise’s stats could start to feel outdated as the game progresses and new players with better stats and abilities are released.

Alternatives

Verdict final

This player item is a versatile option that can contribute both defensively and offensively. Riise's attributes make him a solid choice for players who like to attack down the flanks and have their full-backs contribute to the offense. However, his stamina could be an issue for players who use their full-backs extensively throughout the match. As time goes on, there may be better, faster options available at the full-back position that can better suit your team requirements.
