88 - Headliners
He is a defender, so I'll keep it short and simple.
I had this guy un-tradable 2 TIMES! So, I thought this could be a sign from god to try him out. LOL
Have tried all the popular defenders like Varane, Van dijk, Umtiti...etc apart from Icons, and I can say that he is a bloody good defender.
- His positioning is amazing, he is always at the right place at the right time
- His standing tackles are so clean and neat, he makes it look so easy and effortless
- His blockings and interceptions are also amazing, whether you are in control or the AI
- His pace with anchor is just about enough, and seriously you won't feel like he even needs it because he is ALWAYS in the right place.
- His strength/Jumping is just about right, you won't see him suffer against strong players like Ibra or Pogba, but you also won't see him knocking players to the ground like VVD does.
Conc.: To cut words short, he is PICKPOCKET, he is no Ramos or Varane and definitely no Ferdinand, but he has all you need from a defender and more. When your opponent has the ball he'll simply just pass buy, take the ball neatly, and say goodbye.
Am neither a big fan of his or Inter, but if you were stuck with him as un-tradable or you are forced to buy a serie a defender, use him and you won't regret it. He is cheap, and if he gets an IF he'll be a monster.
