Solid defender with dangerous tendencies

By Glubb123, 28-11-2017

Got him in my Bundesliga-Squad as I felt the need to get a pacy centre back next to Boateng, he seemed to be the best choice (obviously).

After something more than 30 games with him I got a little angry and wanted to discard him many times. He is absolutely great in one on one situations, do not get me wrong..but his strength, aggression and something else he's on leads him to cause many many penalties...

I used to put Anchor on him, I changed it to Shadow.

Solid but also dangerous at times.

One on one-Situations: previous reviewers called him "a rock" etc...and that is absolutely true. He IS a rock and is always able to keep it up against the world's best strikers.

Strenght: He is incredibly strong and manages to push the ball off of strikers most of the time.

Aggression: A pro and a con as well: On the pro-side he is an absolute beast and will defend at all cost

Price: He is quite cheap considering his pace and defending/physical stats. I think if he played Premier League he would be at least twice as much. Bought him for 16k.

Height: He is of average heigth for a centre back and you can feel this while trying to defensly head away balls sometimes

Passing: He's not exactly a man to build up your play with. Short passing's not that much of a problem, as long as the receiver is not far away.

Aggression: 91 rated aggression-stat...to be honest he caused a lot of troubling situations in the box by causing penalties for the opponent at least once every five/six games.

Edit: Try to avoid using "Anchor". Try Shadow instead as his Strenght is great anyway.

Solid Rock - Hard to link

Bought him in the beginning of FIFA for 30 k. He is a lot cheaper now, but i still did not replaced him even though i have the coins. He is quick. Can catch up with most Strikers (not Musa obviously) and is a really great tackler. I play him next to Boateng, who is stronger and has better passing, but besides that Sokratis is better for me.

One of the top CB in game

If you have enough money to make an icons defense, to make an easier link with him, you will not be disappointed by this man. Just better than Boateng. I know you can link with him also Manolas, great CB, but then put Karnezis as GK, so, just...don't. Unless you wanna put as GK an icon. He's perfect in everything defensive stats, just 80 interception is a bit low, but you can boost it. Waiting for a Burki IF to link him eas...

Beast af

One of the very best defenders i've tried so far, Will win you the ball back asap especially in 1 on 1 situations against top Physical strikers, and scores a ton of banging headers if crossed correctly towards him, and if placed in a squad alongside a very strong defender (Chiellini, Boateng, Manolas, Bailly, etc....) you'll be hooked on Defence...
