Player Review

93 - TOTS
4.0
A Unique Player
By SudarshanBiswas, 23-05-2018

Naldo on paper looks like an absolute beast who can pretty much play in every position in the game(Including GK as he is 6'6").But on a more serious note,Naldo is one of the best CBs in the game this year.He is fast and with an ideal chem style like an anchor will make him a double decker bus with an engine from a supercar. His large stature in the game enables him to intercept the ball very well even if you think he will not make it to the ball.That also helps him make tackles and win the ball even if your opponent is at a fair distance.However, the best part about him being so big is that he can get the ball even if your opponent is shielding, especially against the smaller players like Gomez and Mertens. He also has 99 strength so he can take down almost every striker that you can think of(including TOTS Lukaku).His passing his also great and can occasionally start counter attacks with his precise long passing.He also has 99 composure and you feel that when you play with him because he always seems very calm on the ball.But his calmness is your nightmare.That's because he moves like a tank.His horrific agility and balance makes it incredibly difficult to get out of tight situations His dribbling and ball control seems great on paper but in game,he still feels very clunky.His shooting is surprisingly suprising. He can score 30 yard screamers as if he has been doing this all his life but when you get in the box with him, he cannot catch a break.He will miss open sitters that you get when a corner kick goes wrong.He does not know how to find the net from 5 yards but is still capable of score jaw dropping goals if you increase the distance by 25 yards.Very weird.But the biggest thing that disappointing me about the card was its lack of ability to win headers who are just over 6'0 tall.As he has only 50 jumping a lot of players like CR7 and R9 are capable of winning headers against him.It would have been acceptable if he was losing headers who are a few inches shorter than him but he can't win the ariel duels against players who are half-a-foot short.He also poor stamina considering the stage of the game but will only cause you problems if you go to extra time.Overall he is a great buy for 300K as a CB who is multi dimensional but his flaws make him a questionable choice for WL teams.

The long shot taker

I packed naldo from an untradeable sbc and at the begining i started using him as a CB and didnt do any special performance but once i change his position into the midfield he started making a progess very fast. First i try him as a cdm and then at the CM position, where he is playing at the moment. If you have him and dont know how to use him, you just have tolook for the space and shoot from distance.

Sooo gooood

at first, dont use the regular defense-chemistystyles like anchor or shadow on him, well its up to you, but i recommend using HAWK, so you you boost his strength and aggression, his pace and shooting, because that is what this card needs.with HAWK youll get a 80 paced CB with 93 strength and 86 aggression plus 98 longshots...his defensive stats are good anyway. also you boost his jumping by +10.with...

Sweet link with Fährmann

I bought this guy just because i need chemistry on The BIG man Fährmann. And I was surprised! Even with Anchor he was pretty fast and its easy for him to catch players like Sané. His 86 Strength with 198 cm make him absolute rock in defense. If u have hybrid squad and Fährmann is your goalie no. 1 this is a must have defender for 35K (if u cant afford Boateng of course).And look closely on his longshots & shot...
