85 - SIF

5.0

Best LB in the game

By hjortis, 26-03-2018

I've played around 100 games each with Alaba, Alex Sandro and IF Kolasinac at left back. I've also tried the likes of Alba and Marcelo as well as other cheaper LB's for smaller number of games. And none of these are anywhere near as good as 85 Telles in my humble opinion.

After playing with him for just a handful of games it was clear in my mind that he was indeed better than all the aforementioned LB's, so I went on Futbin to check how good he actually is, and he apparently has the stats of an 87 rated left back, while players such as Sandro (84), Alaba (83), Marcelo (84) and the upgraded Alba (85) all have lower stats for a left back even though they are all supposed to be higher rated.

With Shadow chem style Telles should have the stats of a 94 ovr left back. And considering his price at just under 60k at the moment he's definitely in the same price range as these other premium left backs, and a bargain if you compare him to Prime Roberto Carlos or TOTY Marcelo who are the only left backs who could be said to be better than him.

Pace: With shadow chem style both his acceleration and sprint speed is at 99, making him able to keep up with even the fastest wingers.

Defending: This one speaks for itself. Just look at his stats. Again, with shadow his defending is at 97, with marking and both tackling categories at 99.

Crossing: His passing in general is quite good for a left back, but it's his crossing that stands out. With 94 crossing, 96 curve and 90 long passing he is able to pick out anyone inside the 18-yard box. I've been scoring plenty of headers with OTW Salah and PTG Firmino, so I can only imagine what it would be like if you had players like Lukaku or Ronaldo popping up at the back stick.

Physical: His physical category is generally good. He's got decent jumping paired with a respectable size for a left back. His strength is low, but due to his relatively big frame (especially compared to the likes of Alba, Marcelo and Roberto Carlos) and okay balance and agility he's not too easily pushed of the ball. Of course, if he's matched up against a big man such as Ronaldo or Bale he might feel a little bit weak, but he's got most speedy wingers in his pocket. The stand out stat of his Physical category is his stamina coming in at 96. He will consistently be a man you can count on for the full 90+ minutes.

Overall feel: In addition to the stats i've pointed out here he has got decent long shots (Obviously nowhere near Roberto Carlos, but he can still bang in the odd screamer) and very good dribbling for a defender. If you play a narrow formation and need a left back who can beat a man and swing in a cross; Telles is your man.

None really. He´s such a good overall player he could fit in almost anywhere on the pitch. His only two stats under 70 is finishing and strength. But you dont really feel this because of his aforementioned long shots/shot power and size.

Absolutely Brilliant!!!

This guy is the best LB in the game (maybe a little behind TOTY Marcelo, but for 380K less). He runs like salah, shoots like roberto carlos , passes like pirlo, dribbles like Messi ,,, 70K for this beast is really like someone selling the Mona Lisa painting for 20$. What a bargain. He will do you wonders, just play him with his left footJust sad that he came out so late in the game.

Telles - The Master of Crosses!

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 ...

Cheap and Underrated Star

When I bought this card to replace Alex Sandro for only a small fraction of the price, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was fully blown away. He is relatively easy to link given his Brazilian nationality, and with Brahimi getting a recent SIF provides a good strong club link. To the card itself, the stats on paper are surprising for an 83-rated Left Back, but they certainly show in-game. With the Anchor Chem Style his pa...
