The Beast Himself

By Muffinhead, 19-12-2017

Antonio Valencia is definitely the best RB on this game. Surpassing the likes of Florenzi and Walker. He sits right now at around 30k. I was lucky enough to pack him as an untradeable and ive been using him ever since and I'm very happy with his gameplay.

PACE

Valencias Pace sits at 87 which is pretty good for a fullback. He can sprint past many opposing full backs and midfielders with ease. I use a shadow chem style which helps boost his pace but I mainly use the shadow chem style because of his lower rated defending.

SHOOTING

For a fullback Valencia has admirable shooting stats. 85 shot power and 75 positioning are the note worthy stats here. Never be afraid to pop a shot in from valencia because he has great shot power. However if you are in a position on the side of the box i reccomend you cross it in instead.

PASSING

Valencia is one of the best crossers in the game. 85 crossing is elite for a fullback. His short passing sits at 77 which is decent as well. If there are people in the box to header like Lukaku or Ibrahimovic. (A target man). he will hit them 9/10. He doesnt have the best curve though so i wouldnt reccomend early crosses.

DRIBBlING

In my opinion one of the most important stats for a full back. His 81 Ball Control and 83 Balance help him play well on the ball. He is able to dribble past most players with ease. One downside to his dribbling is his agility sitting at 75 which isn't bad but it isn't great so he's not going to be able to get around players very quickly but he does it pretty well.

DEFENDING

His defending sits at 78 which isn't too bad. Defending isn't the most crucial stat for fullbacks but its still relatively important. His 83 Stand Tackles and 80 interceptions are his good stats on the card. his slide tackles are also ok at 77. A negative/positive is that because of his high attacking work rate he tends to run out to stop passes leaving gaps behind him but he intercepts passes down the right hand side most of the time.

PHYSICAL

Probably the best part of his game and why Valencia is such a beast. He has 84 Physicality. 85 Strength and 83 Aggression are brilliant stats. He can easily out muscle all wingers in the game and his 90 stamina means he can run up the wing and track back down for the whole 90 and 120 if needed.

Overall Valencia is a very good fullback. I think his IF is a bit to expensive so i would stick with his regular card because it is better value for money. Valencias quick pace, brute strength and crossing ability make him an outstanding full back. Both Defensively and offensively.

Best RB in the game

I played TOTS Walker before and was contented with him. The only problems of Walker were his agility, his dribbling and his finishing. -Valencia has not a better finishing than Walker. But he is very much better in his dribbling stats.Nice dribbling, great agility (espeacially for his build), perfect passes and crosses.His fini...

Absolute Beast (Best RB in the PL?)

So, I had the luck to pack Valencia as an untradeable object in a pack I got from the Golden Upgrade Challenge. With a value of 40k, he is one of the more expensive RBs and I decided to use him in my first squad. Therefore, I sold my old team and build a new one around him as his stats really impressed me.Pace:87 pace combined with 85 physics make Valencia absolutely amaz...
