91 - UCL LIVE
5.0
FUT 19 - My One Club Player
By rel10, 10-06-2019

At first I didn't love this card. I bought it more as an investment, one which worked out well. I sold and bought this card a few times for profit. When the card was upgraded to 90 though I just couldn't let go anymore. Since then he has played 250+ games in multiple squads, which for me is a lot. Here is my road to the final:


From 87 rated to 91, from Artist to Engine.


Early on Fabinho was a more convential CDM. With good defending and physical stats, I used Artist chem style to make him a deep lying playmaker. Alongside him at first was Matuidi, who even as an 85 NIF was more impactful. Then Flashback Vidal, who at the time was a far superior card, could bomb forward more often as his shooting was much more reliable, and had the work rate to defend as well. From 87-89 rated, he stuck around in my squad to be defend and provide chem links. Vidal was the midfield star.


Vidals goals started disappearing. Maybe a formation and style change. Slowly I noticed Fabinho being more capable on the ball, more effective in attack despite still having inferior shooting stats. Less straightforward, but more class than Vidal, and it suited my play-style. I switched Vidal to stay back and made Fabinho my box-to-box CM.


At 90 rated, with his stats improving, I noticed Engine chem style was becoming a better option. The Pace + Balance boost was the finishing tough on his evolution. All of a sudden he was a threat on the counter, a quarterback in possession, and still hustling back to defense before Vidal. The assists started pouring in, with a nice boost in goals as well.



His stats won't wow you, but his impact will. He gets MOTM more consistently than any player in my club by far. He won't be leaving my club until Fifa 20. Even with TOTS around, he is still a better option than most Icon and TOTS cards.

91 Rated Review (with Engine Chem Style)

His shooting seems significantly improved and bangs them in way more often than it seems he would without any chem boost.

His dribbling is amazing, no longer lanky.

His passing is sublime.

Stamina for days, long into 120'.

The Perfect CDM

This card is amazing. He is one of the best CDMs in the game. His height, defensive work and stamina make this a great card. Pick him up and you wont regret it, he will dictate the middlefield and he can pass the ball really good too. Med/Med works rates are fine, his speed is just fine and he does well on and off the ball. His interceptions in game are definitely more than 84. Also with 91 penalties, you are picking up a ...

The man for everything

In my opinion he is a absolutely outstanding player. He makes the job, that any other player wouldn't do. He is everywhere. But I think he is the perfect cdm. He sets the passways and always looks for the duel. He exudes a certain amount of calm that can be beneficial in the game.He is also good for a perfect pass.

Big Bald Bully

Fabinho CB is a total bully against attacklers, his phisicality in the ground is at the same level of Van Dijk (his jumping is the only problem). I have tried Varane and Davinson Sanchez (untradable UCL card) alongside Van Dijk SIF (FUT Champions rewards), but none of them convince me, so i try Fabinho CB and the result was beatiful, however, he is not for everybody, if you decide to use him you need to be aware that
