Player Review

92 - TOTS
3.5
Great defender, but lacks going forward
By wsavery, 21-05-2018

I got this card in the La Liga TOTS Upgrade and pack. Although it wasn't the Messi or Ronaldo we all dream of getting I was still eager to try him out. My play style really likes to involve the fullbacks in the attack, whether they cut in and hit through balls or are crossing the ball in. So my fullbacks get a lot of assists, however, Filipe Luis really has something to be desired going forward. His great passing stats first led me to believe he would be perfect for me and my play style, but he was really crippled by his less than impressive pace. He was also never there on the overlap when I wanted him to be like NIF Sandro and Alaba have been for me in the past. That being said, he shut down almost every winger that he squared up against, but he did tend to loss back post headers and was at fault for a number of goals that way.

Defensive monster

Crossing when he gets into position

His short and long passing were excellent

Pace, his low acceleration crippled him

Dribbling felt clunky at times and was loose with his first touches

Got pushed off the ball quick easily by the likes of much weaker players (i.e. Willian, Jesus, Mahrez)

The defender your left flank deserves

Too often, when you think of the best leftbacks in FIFA18, you leave Filipe Luis out of the discussion, mostly because of his all-around unimpressive card. But make no mistake, the man is a beast. At first, I was hesitating between him and Marcelo for a Liga-themed team. I was about to choose the latter but then, without knowing really why, I decided to give the guy a try. I wanted to see if he would be just like in ...

FiLOPe Luis

Got this guy in the la liga tots pack, fair to say he shall be going into the bundesliga tots pack as he is useless, always out of position defensively, even with an anchor he isn't quick enough to keep up with many of the wingers now in the game. When he's on the ball he is clunky and slow when compared to players like Jordi Alba. Also due to his work rates he always finds himself up the pitch and as a result there is alwa...
