91 - TOTS

4.5

Best LB in the game?!?!

By TheTrueBlueCFC, 23-05-2018

I packed Wendell through the guaranteed Bundesliga TOTS SBC and I have to say he has far exceeded my expectations. I have been using regular Alex Sandro for a very long time and was very convinced that he was the best LB in the game. Until Wendell came along! So far, Wendell has been the most efficient LB in my opinion, easily shutting down wingers and forwards as well as utilizing his blazing pace to lock down even some of the fastest players like Neymar and Lozano. There have been numerous times as well when I have been caught off in a counter and Wendell definitely is a lifeline on his own to delay the ensuing attack. Not to mention, playing alongside with my Prime Desailly definitely makes defending much easier in the pace department. I do have Anchor on him as I see that there's not much point to increasing his pace and defending as he's already very good in both of those departments. Rather, I wanted to amp up his physicality (85) since it's his lowest but needed attribute than shooting which is not that necessary in my opinion. My only issue was that his stamina does display as 90 in stats, but it seems more like 85 as he normally gets tired in ET and loses a lot after games.

Blistering Pace
Strength (70) feels more like 85+ with Anchor
Excellent passing
Great dribbling (keeps ball close to him)
Makes great overlapping and supporting runs at the right time
Can win decent amount of defensive headers despite height (5'9") and jump stat (80)
Killer combo if you have him alongside a fast CB

Stamina
Little too pricey

All around amazing LB

I've used Alex Sandro's regular card pretty much since the game came out for some reason he was my most consistent player so I never really thought about subbing him out. After getting Wendell in my TOTS SBC however, I really liked the stats and put him in there and man oh man, is he good. Granted, I've only used him for a couple of WL and Online seasons games, but he has literally not once been beaten on pace and his physi...

Wendell

Roberto Carlos minus the shooting

This man can do it all (mostly). He is fast enough to catch a Martial on the break, and nimble enough to evade Walker and put in a dangerous cross. While his stats do look rather lackluster, I find it hard to believe that one would use all of them anyway. The main ones for me were Pace, Defending and Passing. With Backbone, he goes to 90 Standing Tackle, 85 Sliding Tackle and 92 Aggression. His crossing also goes up to 81, ...

DO NOT WASTE YOUR FUT SWAP ITEMS

After looking for an alternative Bundesliga LB to Alaba, I thought Wendell would be a good shout. Wrong. Honestly, there was not much difference at all compared to his normal card. PaceQuite good. I used him with a sentinel and still managed to make good runs down the wing, beating quick fullbacks. However, H/M work rates meant he was caught out of position lot...
