Best Defender I have Used This Year

By KFCManager227, 19-02-2018

I previously owned 89 Laurent Blanc, which is a great card, but Desailly is on another level. I was able to complete the SBC for around 250k since I already had most of what was needed to obtain him. For his price (1-1.1m SBC), you will struggle to find a better defender. He viciously assaults the opposition without getting fouls called on him, has the strength of two men, and is surprisingly a good passer from the back.

The only defender I can compare to him is ToTS Koulibaly from FIFA 17, who is still the most insane defender I have ever used. Eventually, I will test out ToTY Ramos and see how he stacks up against Desailly.

Surprisingly good passer
Incredible physicality
Decent, but not super OP height; his height won't be a noticeable disadvantage
Perfect defending
Great composure, decent reactions and ball control
Consistent play
High defensive work rate
Stamina never seems to be an issue

Not the most accurate at headers, but capable of scoring

It's simply amazing, I remember back at the start of fifa I managed to pack Puyol and I sold him to purchase the 87 rated CB card and I was already VERY amazed by this card. It's pace, it's defending and physical is just amazing..But what I like most about the card (this can be different for anyone) is that he is a very aggressive center back who will possibly push anyone o...
