Great gem to chem with lozano

By AllFletch, 05-02-2018

When I saw that there was in In-Form right back from PSV to pair with the In-Form Hirving Lozano I already had I was ecstatic. This meant I would be able to start Lozano at 10 chem rather than subbing him on and only getting the 6 that subs get. I was someone skeptical in Arias ability to preform since I was planning on using him in Div 1 and icons are are plentiful there. I was pleasantly surprised in Arias ability to defend and position himself in marking against counters. He impressed me the most with his ability to press forward and intercept passes before any real danger could take place. He is also noticeably strong in the the tackle whether it be standing or sliding. His pace is great with a shadow chemistry style ( only chem style I've tried on him) and his amazing stamina allows for a full 90 minute performance. Saying this he still struggles to catch up to players like C. Ronaldo who have great pace and physical. The place where he seems to lack the most is on the final third of the pitch. Arias crossing leaves more than plenty to be desired as it is pretty abysmal. However, his passing down the wing is impressive considering he has low vision, he can easily provide penetrating through balls down his side of the pitch. His short passing is very reliable, so passing on your own third is safe with him. His price as of this review is ~12k coins which in my honest opinion is a steal, not only because he's a must have if you're trying to link Lozano in squads but also because he preforms like a higher end full back on the defense.

Amazing RB

Last from the Netherlands Trio (TIf De Ligt, TOTS Van Ginkel and him) is one of the best RB I have ever played with. He is better than Valencia and Walker and only IF Valencia and TOTS Walker are better. His Pace and Passing are just tremendous. Also interceptions and suprisingly Headings(!). I can't wait for his TOTS version because it will be really a breakdown.His stamina is good, his shootings skills are bad, so ...

I bought him so I can get Lozano in the starting lineup and was a pleasant surprise to be honest! He has decent pace to catch those ronaldos, has great stamina to run back and forward and he is good at tacklesBasically a good all around defender with decent passes to get great one twos or through balls down the line with Lozano
