85 - IF
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 power - absolute DEMON!!
When u have a corner and Naldo is standing near post then u can already celebrate easily scored header!

Strength
Pace
Strong link with the BIG RALPH
Little bit slower wit the ball
Passing
He is a solid CB, but there are just too many better options even amongst Brazilian CBs. He felt slow and made his side of defense vulnerable to speedy forwards. I am one of those who actually don't think too much of pace for CBs, but due to his H/M work rate, this issue was more apparent than other non-pacy CBs. And Naldo really can NOT jump. He did fine against shorter forwards, but conceded some ridiculous headers to tall forwards & CAMs. If you are looking for a non-Boateng CB to pair up with Fahrmann. I'd recommend Ginter.
- Height - makes him feel stronger than his strength stat would suggest.
- Standing tackle - it felt pretty easy to stand tackle against any forward
- No ridiculous pass in the lower third - his passing is reliable.
- Too slow - this was more problematic than it should be due to his H/M work rate. He moved up more than I wanted him to.
- H/M work rate - if his work rate was L/H, my perception of this card would have been different.
- Jumping - most frustrating aspect of this card. He can't jump for s.h.i.t.
- Stamina - often felt the need to sub him out after 75 mins.
