I tried him for 12 matches and he feels like VVD. He is a tank. I used him anchor and he was amazing. Attackers couldn't pass him. He literally feels like VVD and he is just 36k. That's a joke. This card could go even better if he gets motm or if. I think he is worth of all the coins. Just do the SBC before it expires because it is so worth it.
strength
heading
defending, you just can't get pass him
Value, He is so worth the 36k
pace, he feels quick
Maybe acceleration but it is not so important
I recently did the SBC for Headliners Smalling. He does not fit in my Premier League, LaLiga and Ligue 1 team, but he is useful on the bench.
This card is very good to sub on for any defender if you are loosing. If you put a shadow or other chemistry style that improves his pace, he can even play subbed on as a full back. I find he is good to sub on if I am winning because he really can keep up with some forwards fairly well and has decent enough passing for a defender.
I would say that you should do this SBC if:
- You need a Serie A (Italian 1st division) defender
- You need an English defender
- You want to improve your bench
- You need SBC fodder.
This card is a good one, and I recommend doing it for the reasons above
- Pace- Good for a CB
- Strength- 93
- Good Physical
- Good defence stat
- High heading
- Balance- Only 47, which brings down dribbling stat on card.
- Acceleration- 67 acceleration, which may feel bad in game.
- Works much better with expensive chemistry styles.
I was having problems with my defence of Ramos-Lenglet, so I decided to change and went with this guy and Juan Jesus RTTF. And oh my god what a wall! Very good on interceptions, very good on tackles, very very good positioning. His acceleration is not a problem, as he has very good marking abilities, he is all the time in the best position.. Also, he is very tall, even though heading does not matter that much this year, I managed to score 2 goals in 10 games with him, with headers from corner.

Acceleration, but if you pair him with a speedy CB(like Juan Jesus rttf) there will be no problem.
