EA FC 26 Winter Wildcards Icon Red Ronaldinho Review
Bringing to your squad exactly what you can imagine of a significantly toned-down version of the Brazilian Magician, Winter Wildcards Icon Red Ronaldinho feels just as good as you can imagine while with the ball, all while still being a reliable scorer in 1v1 situations. The card is heavily restrained by its lack of passing PlayStyles and staple roles (like Insider Forward), though, something his Base and regular WW Icon versions also lack but mitigate via their higher stat baseline.
In other words, Ronaldinho is made for those looking to score rather than assist, given his ball control and speed, now paired with the off-the-dribble acceleration of Rapid+ and the Shadow Striker++ role. The latter also makes him a match made in heaven for False 9s and passing first CMs. Just make sure you have your BnB Skill and technical moves memorized, and avoid sending long or intricate passes to bring out the best in him. To give you a more concrete view of how all versions compare, here’s how the new 88-rated variant fares against the Base and newly added 94-rated Winter Wildcards version of Dinho:
| Base Icon Ronaldinho (93 OVR / LW) | Winter Wildcards Icon Ronaldinho (94 OVR / LW) | Winter Wildcards Icon Red Ronaldinho (88 OVR / LW) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| PAC | 91 | 92 | 88 |
| SHO | 89 | 90 | 85 |
| PAS | 90 | 91 | 85 |
| DRI | 95 | 96 | 90 |
| DEF | 38 | 40 | 37 |
| PHY | 80 | 81 | 78 |
| Weak Foot | 4☆ | 4☆ | 4☆ |
| Skill Moves | 5☆ | 5☆ | 5☆ |
| PlayStyles+ | Trickster+ | Finesse Shot+ and Technical+ | Rapid+ |
| Regular PlayStyles | Finesse Shot, Dead Ball, Game Changer, Inventive, Technical, and First Touch | Dead Ball, Game Changer, Inventive, First Touch, and Trickster | Finesse Shot, Dead Ball, Game Changer, Technical, First Touch, Inventive, and Trickster |
| Roles | CAM: Classic 10++ LW: Wide Playmaker++ LM: Wide Playmaker+ |
CAM: Playmaker+, Half-Winger+, and Classic 10++ LW: Winger++ and Wide Playmker+ LM: Winger ++ and Wide Playmaker+ |

| Positions | LW / LM / CAM | LW / LM / CAM | LW / LM / CAM |
