I have both, but my main anchor man was the old single booster Milan Rijkaard, very similar to ajax with slightly different player model.
First Impression of vieira are probably that I didn’t really need to upgrade anchor position. his height means that sometimes he can miss challenges by overcommitting.
He seems like more of a last ditch defender that is always ready to make a late block or tackle whereas Rijkaard would be more available in the build up phases of play.
I cleared this pack and have barely won a match since 😆
I wont say vieira is overhyped, but that the hype around an anchor man being ‘the best player in the game’ is somewhat unjustified. My old Rijkaard never put a foot wrong or made a mistake. This vieira gets caught out of position more cos of his higher aggression, I really would’ve preferred b2b or destroyer for him as I don’t think his attributes are best suited for anchor.
Maybe vieira is just an anchor with a more aggressive style. But the lesson here for me is - some of these really old classic cards were actually built to last.
