Player Review
85 - IF
I have never been so happy about a player in my red picks. At first I thought I would try him out for a couple of matches, but I could not think he would stick in my team for quite some time. He is still there and has not disappointed ever since I used him in my first match.
This guy is an absolute Ousmane Dembele killer, he makes no chance against Digne. Also against high tier players such as Mbappé and Messi he's outstanding. He almost makes them unnoticeable on the pitch. I have not played with many other LB's but I am an elite 2 player and I can say this is a quality card as his price also suggests (70k currently). Totally worth the price in my opinion.
If you hesitate about his pace; shadow makes up for it mostly. Although in added time against a supersub he will obviously lack some pace but that is also the reason why supersubs are a thing and can be very helpful. Don't be afraid of having a less pacy left-back because his fantastic defensive stats will make up for it I am sure.
Make sure to also take a look at the pros and cons down below.
Thanks for reading !
-Fantastic base defensive key stats (86 standing tackle, 85 interceptions without a chemistry style is very good at this stage in the game)
-Dribbling is more than decent
-Passing with his left foot is fantastic
-Wins tons of headers because of his 94 JUMPING (!) with a perfect height for a left-back
-Since most Meta players are quick and agile, a lot of strength is not required and that is why 70 is plenty
-Work rates High/Med are fine as long as you put him 'Stay back while attacking' in custom tactics
-Very easily linkable since he is French and plays in the Premier League
-Lacks pace without a shadow chemistry style
