89 - Icon
I'm not sure how you can get any better than this Blanc card. It feels like you have so much more control with him compared to other CB's, I always feel relaxed when I'm defending with him and never feel he's going to slip up and let a pacey forward slip past. It must be the fact he has almost 80 dribbling for a CB (maybe the agility?) so I'm going to pay much more attention to that when looking at CB's in the future. It's also why I'm not upgrading to the prime even though the price is so close, the prime actually has 4 less agility and I'm already fine with his defensive stats. He's also 6'4 and has almost maxed out defensive stats with an anchor as you'd expect from most icon CB's. So combine his 6'4 frame with his pretty good pace and controlled feel and you have a truly unique player. He's obviously great at scoring headers too if you want him to. Best CB I've ever used, had prime Desailly and Rio last year and still think this Blanc is better. Can't wait to try TOTY Varane who's also an extremely agile CB and compare the two.
