Player Review

87 - SIF
4.0
Complete CB
By puchoa19, 24-01-2018

First of all, I'm an Atlético Mineiro support, and, as Otamendi played here, of course I bought him, no matter what.

Despite the fact that he got an awesome photo, if you look to his card, you will immediately think "omg, what a overpriced sh** player!"

But you got wrong!!! The combination of 94 aggression and 88 composure plus the superb ALL GREEN 87 defending make him a legen... wait for it... dary centre-back!

I can assure you that his only 59 dribbling means nothing. In game he is very agile and can take the ball in the blink of and eye.

 

So, Otamendi has all the quality that we look for in a CB card:

A reasonable pace (shadow) v

Very solid defending base stats v

High strength and aggression v

And a cool photo v

 

And, what's the conclusion?

You definitely should buy him.

High def base stats

94 aggression

88 composure

High WRs

Insensible 59 dribbling

Low passing (but who cares?)

Low pace (fixed with shadow - 78)

Solid

Like most people, i was pretty disappointed to get Otamendi in the TOTS SBC but he has turned out to be the saving grace in my woeful defence! His tackling is spot on 99.9% of the time and his strength feels stronger than 89. He is deadly from corners (Even scored a hattrick) and will save you games. Alongside Bailly his pace dosen't affect him to me a he tackles the opponent before he is beaten. His high attacking work rat...

TOTS Otamendi Review

PACE: So lets get the most noticeable thing out of the way first, the pace on this card shows that he only has 69 acceleration and 72 sprint speed. Adding a Shadow looks like it takes it up to 84 acceleration and 82 sprint speed. First thing I did was slap a Shadow on him and in game he feels very quick and fast. I have also tried TOTS Vertonghen out and Otamendi with a shadow feels a lot faster. I think th...

OMG this card is unbelievable. I have to admit that when I saw it had 71 pace I was a little bit discouraged, but I still decided to give him a try and I was surprised by how good this card is
