94 - TOTS

5.0

Dynamic Option

By rel10, 24-06-2019

I use him as a RM in a 352, with a Deadeye to boost finishing.

I'm basing this review on my experience with OTW Cancelo which I used for some time as RB, and TOTS Trent-Alexander which I also played as RM in 352.

This is a huge step up from the OTW card. It fills in all the gaps, and makes the card more versatile as you could maximize the card with whichever chem style you need and still have really high stats all around. I think this card is in the top 20 for overall stats.

Compared to Trent-Alexander, this card is just much better. Perhaps defensively Trent is slightly better, and he was also a very good dribbler in tight spaces. Cancelo is a game changer though. Incredible pace and dribbling can open up your opponent's defense, who probably isn't too worried about defending a full back. Several times he will be in a forward attacking position along the wings and still beat my TOTS Marquinhos to the tackle in my own half.

With deadeye, this card is a reliable finisher which is necessary in my formation. This past weekend league I scored a perfect hat trick with Cancelo.

So if you are considering this card, think about what your style is. If you are looking for a pure defensive back, perhaps there are a few stronger options. If you dribble and attack a lot with your fullbacks, there is no one better.

This Year's RB

I recently switched my La Liga squad to a La Liga / Serie A hybrid and his name was calling out to me when I wanted to change up the defense. If you keep him on Stay Back While Attacking with a Sentinel chem style, he is easily the best defensive full back in the game. He was a massive upgrade to Carvajal who I had before, because Cancelo has pace, height, and great dribbling ability. Being 6'0" he will win just about every...

Cancelo SIF

This guy is great IMO, keeps up with the aubas and the mbappes. I got his OTW for 230K 2 days before the inter juve game. He played LB IRL but thank god hes a Rb because there aren't many good RB's in the serie a. He is very good when on the attack and tracking back on the defence, he helped me cover the wing as my opponents avoided him im guessing because of his pace. I used him with Backbone in 8 Div rivals games in div 2...
