So i wanted to do a review for a long time now and who is better here than this magic boy Davies. I run him as ram on 4231 due him being left footed so he can bang in the too op finesses (Lam is potm hazard subbed on start of the game and st is league sbc gnabry, who i might review as well) but to go on. His pace feels faster than fucking usain bolt would feel, i use maestro on him to upgrade his dribbling passing and longshots mainly. His dribbling is out of this world, he only has 3* skill moves which isnt a con for me but some of you might find it a con(he will get 4* skill moves on winter upgrades tho). His shooting is absolutely mental, and his passing is good apart from long passes. But mainly i would say that this card is definitely worth the 200k especially because even tho he is canadian he plays for bayern which gives alot of great links. (85 goretzka, 86 gnabry, alaba, boateng and rtf james.) Also his physical is super good and he easily outmuscles 90% of fullbacks.
Physical
Shooting
PACE(even in this years fifa outruns many fullbacks)
Dribbling
Passing(apart from long passes)
If you want your wingers to be defensive he can do it too atleast judging by the stats (i have all of my cams and st on stay forward and i dont do constant pressure so from 5 games hard to judge)
4* WF
Long passing
Maybe 3* SM for someone not for me tho and anyways gonna get upgraded in like 1 month so...
I did the Davies SBC because I was lacking in a LW for my Bundesliga squad. Davies has changed my playing style because I am normally used to a LW that can not take shots.
With Davies, I:
-Switch My RW with my LW (Davies is Left footed, and if I use him as a RW, I can cut inside)
-Cut inside (Previously, I would cross into box)
-Go for Goal (With Davies' stats, it would make sense in order to go for goal)
Previously, I:
-Kept the positions the same
-Crossed it in
-If I had to, pass back to my LB or CM
Davies is like the Canadian Mbappe (In my opinion.)
Davies got a hat-trick in my 2nd game using him. He has also gotten some assists for my squad.
Squad used in https://www.futbin.com/19/squad/4529655
-Pace (97 pace, what more do I say?)
-Shooting (His shooting stats do not look like they are the best, but his shots definitely look underrated.
-Dribbling (He has 98 agility, 89 balance and 83 composure)
-Passing (Granted, his passing is not the best, but it is good enough for how I use the card)
-Physicality (89 stamina, which is enough for his High/High Workrates)
-Weak Foot (4* Weak Foot is good enough for cutting inside)
Like anything, Davies does have his flaws.
-High/High Workrates drains his stamina (but he has 89 stamina, so it should not be an issue.)
-Defending (well he's a LW)
-Skill Moves (3* Skill moves can cause some problems if you think he has 4*; He may or may not get an upgrade)
Sorry for my shit english.
Man what a Card, this man is absolutely worth the coins.
Speed He is fast like Usain bolt and can outrun most of the defenders you play against
Shot HE can shoot from everywhere inside and outside, his curve is like an fucking Frisbee
Passing His pass isn't outrageous but you can definitely work with it just play it him with deadeye.
Dribbling 98 agility thats definitely a lie he doesn't feel agil as his stat say but after all his dribbling is good his ball control is amazing combined with his movement as an winger.
Physis Big, fast, strong perfect winger. He can outstrenght every fullback in this game and with his pace its easy to get through the defense. i have Played often enough against Alex Sandro and more.
Defense His tacklings are amazing for an winger, it can get you the ball even in the offense and defense
Overall he is an 9/10

Nation to link
This guy is mental. Was amazing before the 4* SM upgrade but now he's unstoppable. Crazy fast, great agility, and on top of that he's quite strong. I use him in a 4-3-2-1 as a RF, and he really is end game. I don't generally use a bundesliga team or canadians (obviously) so he's a little difficult to link, but totally worth it.
Super fast
Great finishing / Curve
Strong
Great positioning
Little hard to link
This is for me one of the best cards that I have ever tried... did this sbc with untreadables only (sorry for my bad english) and i must say, at first i thought that he would be worst than Reus but it proved me wrong
The best thing in this card for me its his pace ( as quick as usain Bolt) passes through defenders in a blink of an eye, great shooting and even better strenght and stamina
Overall, nice composure and agility... a nice addition to any team
3 star skill is the only down side but I hope they upgrade it... and the amount of great links (only bayern players)
Wow! is all i can say to this card this guy is unbelievable he is so fast so strong so technical its unreal 100% would recommend for only 200k or less he is neymar if not better compare the stats if u dont believe me he will carry you with that left foot
very strong for a winger
super fast
great shot
decent league for a great card
66 long pass could be a problem
3 star weak foot is bad
Every single year since Fifa 13 I always build my Bundesliga team.
I'm not german, but my family was from there a few generation ago and I always felt a connection to Germany.
So here I am, still building my Bundesliga Team.
When I see "Alphonso Davies". But bruh, I did Gnabry SBC like 2 weeks ago... And I love that card...
Let's just do the sbc, I got half a million coins spare, why not...
And since I'm one of that idiots that only buy "virgin" cards... SBC cards are always virgin... (Or are they?)
But at the end of the day, I loved my team, I bought all the Live cards when they were cheaper. They are upgrading.
If Phillip and Pulisic go to 86. Oh my, that would be a team.
But what happen in between? Dortmund got hard smashed...
And then I dropped Pulisic because I had a 87 Alphonso Davies sat not even on the bench.
Let's see what this guy does.
And the rest is history.
Just for your information I use Marksman on him.
Pace,
He isn't just fast. He is the only player so far that is as fast and Mbappé.
Shooting,
He doesn't do Finesse Shots well, but when he uses his left foot and you try the Finesse Shot, oh boy, you will see "Trivelas" like you were Quaresma.
And his Volleys? And his 1st touch shoots? Rocket Man?! I'm hearing Elton John kinda vibes.
Passing,
Passing? Well... Isn't bad, but isn't great. Or maybe I'm just bad at 1st touch passing, but sometimes he likes to pass to the opponent Van Dijk...
Dribling,
Ball roll, cut inside, drag back to drop Varane, tornado flick and ... Crossbar?! Really?!??!!?!??!
But seriously, he can do everyhting. 4* skills is plently and with marksman the guy has a ridiculous dribling.
Defending,
High / High workrates... Eewww... So does Sonaldo has... And guess what, everyone loves him...
I don't usually push him too much, but since my fullbacks like to push up. It works so well. Always have people to run on like.
And let's be honest, if you time correctly, 10 tackle or 99 tackle feel the same to me.
Physical,
Let's get Physical, Physical. Stamina is decent, don't push it. He can do 90min if you are not running a rond like a fool.
He is strong enough, he is like a bulkier Gnabry.
The worst con, and I'm so sorry for everyone who didn't do the SBC.
But you will never be able to try it out.
And that's awful.
Because he is insane.
He is amazing! I had to change my team mid wl and this guy absolutely made it. He secured my first ever gold 3 finish and he SCORES EVERYTHING. 97 pace means that he gets behind defenders and its game over. BEST Player. I use him at lw but then change to 4-1-2-1-2 narrow and use him a st. ABSOLUTE GOD MAMAAAA HENRYYYY.
97 pace
Shooting and Positioning
Agility 98
81 Strength
Everything pretty much
If I had to say something then it would be 3* skill moves, but I don't mind that at all.
Price (210k) but absolutely worth it.
I decided to play Alphonso as CM in 41212(2) because he doesn't has 4*sm and his basic def is good. I gave him sentinel. His shooting is amazing but I don't feel his acceleration and sprint speed. Feels more like 90 pace not 97. He has H/H workrate so it's perfect for CM and his positioning on a field is great. Always in a right place. I wouldn't recommend him as winger or striker until he get 4 stars skill moves in winter upgrade. With sentintel he is really strong and for me its important as CM.
-Shooting for sure
-Physicality
-Positioning
-Dribbling
-Passing surprisingly good
-Pace not good as expected
-Stamina only for 90min
