85 - Normal
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 good penalty taker.

I initially owned my first Fabinho card when I packed him back in October as a newbie to FUT and as my team was understandably shocking, I sold him immediately for a nice profit of 75,000. Even then I knew he was a beast, but I needed the money, and had to make the tough decision. Fast forward to a few days ago, making a Brazilian/German/Bundesliga hybrid squad I needed a CDM to link with my Sane card and it was down to Fernandinho or Fabinho. After reading the Fernandinho reviews and people raving at how much better he was than Fab I bought him for a cheap 22,000 and boy was I disappointed. He had an immediate negative impact in my team and I felt I had a gaping hole in my midfield as he was nowhere to be seen in the game. Not present for interceptions or duels I quickly realised he wouldn’t work for me. Enter Fabinho, the 2nd coming. From the first 20mins in-game time Fabinho had racked himself up an impressive 4 interceptions and maybe it could be said I was playing against a bad opponent but something about him just felt…different. He was a bully and a tank in the middle, with impressive pace and stamina to keep up with quick passing opponents, not to mention a good physical presence in both defending and attacking in corners. Without a question he was better for me and Fernandinho and I do understand it is subjective dependent on how they are played and which tactics are applied, I feel I had to do little in the way of tactics or instructions to make Fabinho my 2nd best player in an already okay team. He works great for me as a CDM and I will definitely be upgrading to his IF!
- Stamina
- Strength/Aggression
- Height (especially for goal kicks and corners)
- Speed, didn't feel slow and clunky at all (like he is often described)
- Intercepts almost anything within a few feet of him, and actually makes the effort to, where most players would just watch the ball go past
- Shooting isn't terrible, but I wouldn't rely on him heavily to score worldies left right and centre
- Since he's gone down to 25,000 (as at 06.02.19) he is GREAT value for money!
- Weak Foot (if this kind of thing throws you off)
- Not as technical as other alternatives (if thats what you look for in a CDM)
- No other cons, if you need a strong defensive midfielder, he's your man.
I use him in 442 formation with casemiro and these two are just bullying other players in the field. You cant get past these two ever, they run around like the flash and is just as big as a mountain. Whenever he goes for the ball, he always almost gets it. He doesnt lose the ball, and i have managed to score a few goals with him with both feet even though he have 2 star WF. If u are considering getting him, dont think, just buy and u will see the difference. Pair him up with casemiro and nothing get past your midfield. Pace isnt an issue really.

I really liked using Fabinho in the games I played with him. All 4 of his goals came from penalties
- Height- I felt he won every single ball in the air.
- Slide Tackling- His slide tackling stat is 85 but with the chemistry style I used on him its 99 and it certainly feels like 99, he wins every slide tackle
- Stamina- Could definitely play a 120 minute Fut Champs match with ease
- Pace- He couldn't catch up with some of the faster midfielders like Goretzka.
- Passing- I was disappointed with his passing because it's a relatively high stat and it doesn't feel that good.
I really think that Fabinho is one of the worst if not THE worst CDMs I've ever used. The linked squad is how I play ingame, but I go into the game with everyone being on full chemistry except for Fabinho, who is on 8.
The issue with Fabinho has definitely not been his defending or physical. In these aspects, Fabinho has been really consistent and good, but one thing that completely destroys him for me is his positioning. Even though I've set "Stay Back While Attacking" on him, he occasionally rushes forward for no reason, destroying my 4-1-2-1-2 and turning it into a 4-2-2-2. This is not always the case, but it happens at least 5 times per match. Before you say it, it is not because I accidentally press L1 while playing a pass.
Doing these runs, he is losing me a lot of games. For example, if Son has a ball and is waiting for De Bruyne to make a run into the box, Fabinho literally steals De Bruyne's run and making a poor shot with his 66 finishing. And then, a quick counter from my opponent and Fabinho is not where he is supposed to be.
I am 5-3 in WL currently, and without exaggerating, 2 of the 3 losses came from him either stealing my striker's chances or him not defending.
