Pros

Outstanding passing and vision make him one of the best playmakers, capable of delivering pinpoint through balls and crosses.

Excellent dribbling and ball control allow for smooth maneuvering and tight control in congested areas.

Strong shooting stats, especially in finishing and shot power, make him a reliable option for goals from outside and inside the box.

High stamina ensures he remains effective throughout the game.

Because of his high shooting stats, he will be very advantageous for taking long curve shots, free kicks, and finesss.

Cons

Physicality is average, making him less effective in duels against strong defensive midfielders.

His weak foot can be a big issue. After the update shots taken from the weak foot are not working properly and the missing goal.

Medium/Medium work rate may occasionally limit his involvement in defensive and advanced attacking phases.

Alternatives

Final Verdict

Rui Costa is an exceptional CAM, ideal for orchestrating attacks and controlling the tempo of the game. His playmaking, dribbling, and shooting capabilities make him a complete attacking midfielder. However, his lack of physical dominance and pace might require pairing him with faster attackers. Perfect for possession-based and creative playstyles.
