84 - SIF

5.0

NATHAN AKE SIF

By kurbalija88, 08-02-2018

I really enjoyed his first IF card, and when I saw that he was in the TOTW21 I was excited to try him out. I was just lucky to pack him as an untradeable last night.

I use the SHADOW chem style on all of my defenders to give them pace and defending boost.

At the moment SIF goes for a 120k and first IF is around 35k, so I would recommend that you try Ake's first IF so you could understand how to play with a CB of his category and if you like it you can upgrade to his SIF.

As I used his first IF I can say that this is not a great improvement over that card but it's noticeable, I packed him as an untradeable so I will keep him. Overall his both IF cards are in my top 5 CB that I have used in FIFA 18.

He is amazing, he is fast and agile for a center back, with great defending and good strength, and he has the ability to hold off fast and strong attackers so he is a great match for any attacker out there. His interceptions, reactions and positioning in defense is out of this world, he is always in the right place.

If needed you can use this guy as a LB, CM or CDM on 7 chem or as a super sub and he will fill the gap as his speed, passing and dribbling are very good for a CB, and he rarely makes mistakes and his short passing is incredible most of the time.

The only thing that can be a bit frustrating for some players is his height, I personally had no issue with it as he was always paired with tall defender (SIF Mustafi, Bailly, FUTMAS VVD, TOTGS Stones...).

Meet SIF Aké, elite CB for BPL teams

While building a BPL team sooner or later you are going to struggle with the choice of CB, either you get daft, slow giants for aerial supremacy and sheer strenght or agile, small ones with high pace but lower phys and that get dominated by stronger STs.Meet SIF Aké, the best of both worlds.With no chem he starts with 78 dribbling stats (2nd is IF Azpi with 76), 86 reactions and 80 compo...

Ake Review

When I first saw that he was in the TOTW I was excited to try him out as I really enjoyed his regular card, and boy did he not disappoint. He was amazing he felt fast and agile for a center back, great defending and good strength and had the ability to hold off both fast and strong strikers. The only thing about the card that was a bit frustrating was his medium/medium work rates, I found that he would run up the pitch a bi...

Aké - The Beast

So, I bought this card just before entering WL, and I must say, hands down the best CB I've used so far in the game. He hasn't got the height as other CB's, but put an ancor on him and he gets 96 jumping which makes up for the height. His pace is just insane, and combined with the pretty good strength he is a great match for every attacker out there. His passing and dribbling are very good for a CB - more like a CDM or CM, ...
