Player Review
85 - SIF
EPL players might dominate a lot of teams in FUT, but there is no denying that there is not one "Must Have" LB in the PL. I have tried IF Kolasinac, SIF Young, IF Alonso, Rose but none lived up to the expectations set by Alaba or Sandro - the 2 most widely respected and used LBs in FUT 18. And let me tell you, Telles is the 3rd best LB after those 2. When you look at this Telles card, the base stats look insane for a LB. I mean barring the shooting, everything is 80+ - something that neither Alaba or Sandro has. But what separates Telles from others is his passing - 94 Crossing, 90 Long Passing and 96 Curve - it is GODLY! I generally does not play crosses, but thought of trying few crosses with Telles given his stats and believe me, every single cross ended up being an assist - it lands directly on the attacker's feet or head. Such is the accuracy of his long passing. Try him just for the fun of crossing - you will be fabulously delighted.
- Pace - with shadow, flies with the wind!
- Crossing - he makes Crossing fun again in FUT - the undisputed master of pin-point crossing
- Defense + Aggression - Good stats for an attacking wing back. With 96 Stamina, he will run the whole field for 90 mins without breaking a sweat
- Good height makes him an aerial threat as well
- Good nation makes him easy to fit in any hybrid squad
- The only con i can think of is his strength - sometimes he will be pushed off the ball by bullies like R9. But then R9 can bully anyone with a smile :)
- His H-M work rate might need some adjusting based on how you play - if you feel he goes forward too much, instruct him to stay back
