89 - FUT Birthday
Strong link to Salah FB.
I play him as CB, my Eder Militao FS I play as LB, and my Salah FB (Originaly LB) I play as CAM!
Here is my team: https://www.futbin.com/19/squad/6447704
And in game, I use it like this: https://www.futbin.com/19/squad/6451199
Fit perfect to me! You can build a monster team expending few coins if u do so, because those FB cards are usually cheaper than other versions of the same player from original position.
+ Strong
+ Good Positioning
+ Headers
+ Defending
+ Finally the Perfect CB at a non TOTY version with that PAC.
- Nothing
When this card came out I was like "Oh it's 89" and "Hahaha, so his 89 OVR includes a buffed shooting stat"
Then, a week or so later, while I was grinding towards the SMS objective, I realized that these Fut Birthday cards are NOT intended to be used on their face (original) positions, and are to be abused in that ever-so-common-position-change-in-game thing.
At the time, I had liquidated my squad to reinvest, and while I was building up again, I observed this card - to move in game to CB - and was soooo surprised ! Putting aside the shooting stats, take a look at Pace / Reaction / Composure / Jumping etc. He's completely above the current RTTF, and possibly better than the beloved POTM.
I purchased him, shifted him as CB using dynamic tactics and haven't looked back. Until this day, my choice of a non TOTY CB would have been Militao for obvious reasons, but now Fut Birthday VVD has taken the crown. Anyone using any of his IF cards should sell and buy this. Noticeably better, much smoother & quicker (97 pace with Shadow). And due to it's relatively low price, shouldn't lose much value when TOTS arrives. Strongly, strongly recommended. 10 thumbs up.
5 (!!) more pace than his POTM
Physicals and Reaction are also better than POTM
Cheaper than his TIF or SIF
Tradable
Doesn't have maxed out 99 Defending stats.
Have to press the D-pad in-game to change tactics
Card design is pink
this guy is an absolute monster in CDM. yes, you could argue that his agility is bad but this guy can defend as much as you like for as long as you like. aerial battles are a joke for him. 94 jumping!!! most players don`t stand a chance against this guy. also, his long shots are mad, hes scored 15 goals in 32 games from CDM, and nearly all of them are from outside the box. he is well worth the price required to pay for him, and if you really want, play him at CB see once again how much of a beast this guy is. i play him alongside Futmas torreira in 4222 and my word do they defend for their lives. a slight issue about him is his passing, but if you put a powerhouse chem style on him you dont need to worry about it what so ever. and work rates are absolutely perfect for him as well, especially as a CDM.
