Player Review
88 - Headliners
Hello, I've never done a FUTBIN review before but I had to share with everyone the unbelievable discovery I have found in Milan Skriniar. He is, and I say this as a person who has used all of: 96 VvD, 92 Militao and 96 Varane(No Ramos or Maldini) and I can say that he is, by far, the best of them all. I am a fairly casual player, standard Gold 2/1 finish is usual for me and I compete in Division 2. I hope you enjoy my review and I hope it will persuade you to buy this beast. You will, 100%, never look back again.
Pace-75
On card,this stat isn't overly impressive but I can assure you that all you need is an anchor to fix the 'problem'. He is very quick and in 758 games hasn't once been obliterated for pace, and that's 150-200 Mbappe's later. He is not perfect, but his pace is certainly not an issue.
Shooting-43
Never, and I repeat never, shoot with this guys feet. However, I thought I'd use this section to talk about this guys offensive heading or else the defending section would be 9/10s of this review. If you take control of this guy using LB and find his head he, simply put, will not miss. His headers aren't the most powerful like someone such as VvD but the way he places them into the corners with ease is something I have never seen before, and may never see again if EA change how headers work, but the anchor chem style means he goes to 92 jumping at 6'2 so he regularly wins the ball in either defensive or attacking scenarios and when you find a leaping Skriniar, it's game over. His goal record is genuinely unbelievable, this man has scored 316 goals in the games I have played him in. He is simply unstoppable in the air and his goal record is only trumped by my ST.
Passing-62
I aren't gonna sit here and tell you Skriniar is Xavi, Iniesta or Pirlo, but the man gets the job done. His passing is actually very good for long balls, he usually finds my wing whether it be my actual winger or a full back bombing up. He doesn't get many assists as he never gets up due to M/H workrates, and when he gets up from corners, he's burying them.
Dribbling-66
If I could improve one thing about Skriniar, it would be his first touch. His ball control can be slightly suspect sometimes but in terms of reactions and composure they are both fairly high, but they both feel like 99. He is comparable to Varane in terms of his responsiveness(Varane TOTY has 99 composure and reactions). Agility and balance is standard for a CB, won't discuss it too much.
Defending-90
I'll keep this as simple as possible. The man is a f***ing colossus(sorry mum). His 95 marking and High defensive workrate means that his defensive positioning is the best I have ever used, and to be honest, nobody even comes close. His tackling is unbelievable and he always steals the ball due to high interceptions. Defensively, his heading is superb when boosted via the chem style. I've already discussed his offensive arieal ability and he is just as accurate defensively. I can't speak highly enough of this guy as a straight up defender so I guess I'll just stop.
Physcial-87
Another stat so good that I'll try not to blag about it, 88 strength makes me laugh. Actually let's all laugh quickly, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. No. This guy feels like 95+ and in terms of agression the stat of 91 is fairer but still not accurate, the guy is a bully and a complete machine. His stamina is irrelevant I feel as centre backs don't really need it but as it happens the stat of 8 is actually quite good. We have discussed his arieal ability both offensively and defensively and the jumping only helps this.
Thank you so much for reading my review of Milan Skriniar 88, even if you have just skimmed through I highly appreciate you taking a few minutes out of your day to see what I enjoy doing. If you haven't got this card, what are you doing?
