RVP works well as a lone striker or partner with someone else?

hard to say, I partner him with Suarez or Aguero, but somehow I feel RVP works well on its own.
When I partner him with Suarez or Aguero, Both is faster than RVP, making it feel unsynchronized as RVP not really fast to run upward. In the end, RVP become like Rooney who feeding the ball to Suarez or Aguero to run foward
Although lack of pace, the positioning of RVP is almost always perfect, as he will make intelligent run and try make space for himself.
If you ask if RVP works well as lone striker, I say yes and also if he got partner, also good because he can pass very well

Out of curiousity, I bought Vidic. Well, he is always overlooked for David Luiz. I didn't like Luiz because he is always going forward, leaving a gap behind, I needed a defender to stay at the back, high defensive workrate.
Paid 6.6k for Vidic with a Shadow card, quite a bargain knowing that Vidic cost lesser than Shadow card lol. Yes he lacked the pace but overall damn solid. Always at the back with Kompany, winning headers and shoving people aside. First game and two goals from Vidic, not bad. Second game also he played well. So now Ramires and Ramsey will do the running back and forth, Vida and Kompany to guard the backline, I feel safer already lol.
Haven't come across a pacey forward yet, not sure how he performs against them but he seems like a bargain for 6.6k. Captain Vida for me.
Okay, that's all for my Vidic review. Cheers!
As Im using Vida + Kompany partnership for so long, I know the weakness of this pair.
It is fast, intelligent striker who always try to beat offside trap.
Player like Aguero, Messi, Neymar, Ronaldo, Robben, heck, even Ibarbo or Benteke can outrun those two.
The only chance is to make Vidic or Kompany to use their high aggression and intercept skill. Intercept the ball before it got to this kind of striker, and if its too late, try to shove them out of the ball path.
Make sure you got good fast wing back, as they can compensate the lack of pace of this pair.
