81 - FUT Birthday

Best CB in PL (with some cons)

By ajaypal105, 28-03-2018

I have a PL team and a hybrid team. In Hybrid team I have to problems with the CBs but with my PL team, nothing was working great except Bailly. And then finally I packed this beast CB. He is a workhorse, and if you think Bailly is strong and has good stamina then play them alongside and see for yourself. Even around 90 minutes mark, dude has his stamina in green, always my only player with green stamina at around that time of the game. And fyi, he does end up showing the midfield a lot, but even that doesn't burn his stamina. And there goes his biggest Con, he doesn't stay back at the defense line all the time, and wanders around between defense line and midfield. Though I have to admit that his pace allows him to get back pretty quickly but I hate to see my CB not in place. I was able to fix that by player instructions, but something to note, if you want to play him.

Most physical CB that I have used (Bailly, Azi, Bonnucci, Smalling, Rojo, etc.), and I have not seen any attacker get past him with pace or power. Look at his stats in that area.
Fastest CB that I have used
Great tackles and good blocks
Good price (Probably bcz he is 81 rated, but I expect it to go much higher as people learn about him)

Medium work rate on defense and High on attack, makes him wander in the midfield sometimes. Can be fixed by player instructions.
Not the best on defending corners. Can't figure out why because his stats say otherwise.

Strong Card!

Short story first, i was looking for a CB to complete my PL squad. With Bailly being set (everyone knows why) I was looking for a decent partner. After trying SIF Aké I decided to try out Kouyate, simply because of his stats. And let me tell you, THIS GUY IS A BEAST.I play him with Shadow Chem, because he has 90 Phys anyways. His Pace is out of this world for a CB it feels like you are controlling a fu***ng e...

AMAZING player for such a CHEAP price!!!

I've had a long run of trying to find a good CB that is always there when you need him, fast, strong, and someone who is worth the money. Then FUT Birthday came out, and my main target was that FUT Birthday Kouyate. I was playing Ake 81 and David Luiz 86 together for a while but then realised that David Luiz was too slow and sluggish whenever I am trying to get back to prevent a counter attack. Kouyate is usually always the...
