Any opinions on IF Nainggolan?

Bigfootisblurry

Has anyone used him? I know it isn't a value for money card but is there any perceptible difference from his 86?

I'm yet to find a CM I like more and he is the perfect fit chem wise too but that single gold card is annoying me.

I never used his NIF, went straight in on his black card this year.
Awesome card, one of the best box to box midfielders I used this year. I'd probably still have him if it wasn't for poor links now.
Was great at everything, can't really think if any negatives.... Maybe could be slightly better in the air, he's not alone there tho

Yeah, the problem is that his 86 fits that description too!

I can afford him and he isn't going to get a TOTS so I might just do it. I think we'll see a SIF during the WC though.

Makes sense to wait a few days though. Roma play Sassuolo on Sunday so it's a given that he'll play a blinder and crash the price of his IF should I buy him now. I also need to see the price of TOTS Naldo. These two cards are the final two for me I think.

I'm just assuming, at this stage, you'd have the coins for him. I'm sure his 86 is preffy damn fine too, but you can't beat the card designs.
I guess you could wait, but for how long.....

Sold 91 Matthaus because my red Nainggolan was better. Great card that has stood the test of time.

You're right, there's no real reason to wait, I'd still have 500k in the bank plus a few tradable TOTS. I'll see the Bundes squad, and prices, tonight and then do it.

I can confirm this. I did the same. Had Naingollan and swapped for 91 Matthaus who wasn't bad but 9 was as good or even better.
Prime Matthaus is on completely another level tho. Mix of Radja on stereoids and toty Kante. Perfect end game player alongside Gullit and Vieira

I've used IF nainggolan for a while now. 500 games or so. Got him a while back when he was over 380k I think.
Love his card.
Good at everything! Enough stamina to last all game. Solid defensively, and has great longshots.
One of my favorite cards this year. Radja doesn't disappoint

Bigfootisblurry

@dan_roma any difference from the NIF though?

dan_roma

@Bigfootisblurry not a huge difference. Loved his nif too. However, not sure if just a placebo effect, but he does have a bigger impact on the game for me

Thanks @dan_roma , @wade_7_ , @RedKraut & @topnik .

Now I know Naldo is sub 500k Radja is bought. My final team is coming together nicely.

Good stuff mate.
I'm confident you won't be disappointed

dan_roma

Awesome mate! Can't go wrong with Radja

Bigfootisblurry

Sold him again. He's great and all but I actually think the NIF performed better for me. Either way, it wasn't worth nearly 8 times as much.
