What will Cover Stars Icon Ronaldinho look like?

While the exact overall rating and stats of the card are unknown, one can make an educated guess based on Cover Stars Roberto Carlos that this new item will eclipse any previous versions of Ronaldinho. FUT Scoreboard included a prediction that suggests that he will be 97-rated with these attributes:

• Pace: 96
• Dribbling: 99
• Shooting: 93
• Defending: 40
• Passing: 94
• Physicality: 86

If these stats prove accurate, he will be one of the best attackers in the current meta of FIFA 23. He already possesses five-star skill moves, and a five-star weak foot boost will elevate him to the level of players like 99 Pele, 99 Cristiano Ronaldo, and 99 Lionel Messi regarding his viability on the virtual pitch and his in-game ability.
