LFCMatt7 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Club career In January 2008, Ramires agreed to a five-year deal with Cruzeiro in a permanent move from Joinville for a fee of $300,000, giving Cruzeiro 70% of the players' economic rights. Joinville kept 30% in the event of any transfers in the future.[2] He was referred to by the fans and media during his time there as the "Queniano Azul", or "Blue Kenyan", in relation to Cruzeiro's main colour and his looks as well. This is a compliment, regarding his velocity and never-ending stamina on the field, comparable to the outstanding performances of Kenyans in marathons. On May 21, 2009, Ramires joined Portuguese club Sport Lisboa e Benfica for €7.5 million[3][4] on a five-year contract with a minimum fee release of €30 million. However Ramires was forced to abandon his holiday plans because of a special agreement made between the two clubs that would only release him to the Portuguese side after the Cruzeiro's participation in the Copa Libertadores 2009, a time when the Lisbon side was already beginning it's pre-season. Thankfully, due to Ramires' devotion to both clubs and his unnatural endurance he quickly rose to being one of the central pieces of Benfica's midfield, gathering the fans affection and the attention from the critics. In my Benfica save Ramires has been a beast for me in a B2B role, scoring crucial goals and creating goals in good measure. His sheer pace means his plays this role to great effect making the transition from defence to attack very quickly. He's a very well rounded player not excellent at anything but good at everything and I believe he could play any role in midfield if needed.

lucatonix Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Never used him. Had a choice between him and Moussa Sissoko, but chose Sissoko otherwise Ramires would have taken my last non-EU spot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fausto Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 well i used him in my Newcastle save, he can do it all defend and attack and can play as a RM, so its a great player very fast, the only problem was that i paid about 18 M Euro Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyboy89 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Never used him. Had a choice between him and Moussa Sissoko, but chose Sissoko otherwise Ramires would have taken my last non-EU spot Moussa Sissoko is the right choice. He can easily become world-class. Ramires still, a top player! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonoC99 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Chris Cohen >>> Ramires as a B2B. He'd do alright as a Libero though I suppose... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathSpawn Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 my tactic is 4-3-1-2 and i use him in the number 10 position with a forward arrow and he scores lots of goals 20+ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johadert Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I play him as a wide midfielder right, and he just dominates. Train his attacking a little and you can get his crossing to 12 or 13 if you like, but I always just set his slider to rarely. I've got a screenshot of how he performs in this role in the Benfica thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
