86 - FUT Birthday
Gentlemen, ladies, don’t get be mistaken Benjamin Pavard is just amazing! I got it in a rare mega pack that EA offered for FUT Birthday, so unsellable. I had some doubts about him initially about his low market price and his general stats for an RB (yes, I use it in lateral and not in center back), but I still wanted to test it and … it was a very good surprise! I finished this week end league for the first time Elite 3 (I play on PS4), and I think its in part thanks to him !
I explain: Pavard is firstly a monster defensively, he’s always well placed, (88 in marking) and he’s very effective in 1vs1, as well as in the air that with the ball on foot. (89 in interceptions, 95 jumping) It’s simple, I don’t count the lot of his interceptions that he could make during this week end league! In addition to being tall enough for a lateral (1m86), he has a very good stamina and a sufficient strength for this position that allows it to repeat the efforts and to be solid for 90 min, see more.
Pavard has also a good ability to bring the ball out of defence and quality of distribution.(93 in short Passing, 95 in long Passing), which allows each time at the team to go well forward, but also in the construction of offensive phases : he brings the ball admirably and his crossings stills correct. But obviously, it depends on your style to play less or more offensive.
Finally, his speed may seem a handicap at first sight but I assure you that with a shadow style, it can catch almost anyone without worries. So yes, he’s not as fast as a Walker or a Cancelo, but he will do and I’ve no problem with that. To sum up, Pavard is very good defensively and very complete for a very good price ratio, buy it; you won’t be disappointed!
