86 - SBC

4.5

Cheap Kante?

By Gvnrssll, 17-01-2019

Where should I start with this card. Obviously we wanted a lot more from the Premier League SBC but Doucoure is an Absolute Unit. He immediately shows himself in game due to him being an absolute ball magnet. If the ball comes within a 3 feet radius around him he will intercept, tackle, or pressure the ball off the opponent. He also surprisingly has good dribbling in order to make the quick exit from the back to counter. His passing out of the back is good as he feels like a very composed player but long balls over the top will not necessarily work 10/10 times. Obviously, his work rates are a little let down because he tends to attack up the pitch farther than other CDM's even on stay back, but if given the green light to shoot he can bang in powerful long shots or at least put them on target in positions that only an insane save could stop. He is not the fastest player as he will not be able to chase every attacker like Kante does, but merely just stays in position so that when attacked at he will poach the ball from the attacker with a cracking tackle. Overall, the price tag is very looming as you will spend over 300k on him and will most likely not make any money back from the packs, but he is a top class CDM that I highly recommend you do if you can afford him and fit him in your team.

A machine of a CDM

I invested in the Premier League SBC around a month ago with all the players in my club so that I could do the SBC as soon as it came out. I took Doucoure over Vardy because he can just replace Kante in my team. I play him CDM in 4-2-3-1 formation so as you can see by his stats for me, he doesn't get involved in many goals. I also keep him on 'stay back while attacking.'When it comes to defending, this guy is ...

An improved Kanté (Abdoulaye Doucouré SBC)

At first, I didn´t think he was worth it and I doubted about making the Premier League SBCs or not. I did them all anyways because I had opened a lot of Premier League upgrades and I had so many untreadeable players, so he barely costed me about 150k.Now that I have used his card for more than 30 matches (most of them ...

Midfield beast Doucoure

I made this review as soon as I could to give anyone debating wether to get him or not a few insights into him. He plays right cdm with futmas Torreira at left cdm. His H/M work rates are not an issue at all, I used Casemiro before hand (both on stay back) and they stay same position each. He is sometimes at the edge of the box for a follow up but is yet to score from me, although as he has such high shot power, all of his ...
