94 - TOTS
5.0
`Second Best CB in the game (Behind TOTS Benatia)
By adroitfc, 13-07-2018

First of all, Koulibaly is QUICK

Secondly, very good short passing with 99 composure makes him cool under pressure (especially against press back line merchants)

99 reactions + 96 interceptions makes him the ULTIMATE TACTICIAN (which means he is usually in the right place at the right time to intercept the ball on time)

Perfect defensive stats (DUH)

6'5 in game with 99 strength, 95 aggression and 84 jumping - so no one is winning headers against him and also, no one can barge him off the ball, and no one can shield the ball against him because of aggression

  • Pace
  • Strength
  • Composure
  • Short Passing
  • Defending (duhh)
  • Tactical Awareness
  • High attacking work rate (so don't L1/LB pass with him because he will run forward) Apart from that he will always stay back!!

Best defender i have used this year.My playing style is really attacking so when i use slow defenders i always concede on the counters.But with koulibaly thats not happening anymore he is fast enough to get back he is strong enough to push any player of the balland his positioning is amazing he is always on the right place.His shotpower is insane but his longshots are pretty meh but if...

A must have IF playing 3 or 5 ATB

Koulibaly is a MONSTER. If it wasnt for the links and the workrates he would be one of my Top 3 Defenders.The only problem with him is the H/H workrates, thats why I would recommend him in formations with 3 or 5 ATB. In my case (5-2-1-2) I paired him up with Manolas and Hero Benatia bc they have M/H and L/H so his H/H workrates worked perfectly. Apart from that he kills it every game for me.

BEAST - Must have cheap Calcio-A CB

Used him the entire year next to manolas and he is a beast. Even against insane players and even legends he does not struggle. Every now and then he will make a stupid pass but a CB really doesnt need passing. The guy is crazy good in defence.
