Player Review

So there I was, in the middle of the WL, and pretty much satisfied with my current squad, with my defense performing very well for me with Hernandez alongside Lenglet, and I wasn't really planning on change my squad so soon. But this SBC really took me by surprise, and when I saw the potential of this card, I just had to do it.

This is my first review, and I hope everyone enjoys it, I really love his 79 card (played over 200 games with it, in the early stages of the game), and he deserves a nice review, so here we go.

Value for Coins: I'm gonna start with this topic because I think people will probably think that 100k (the estimated price for complete this SBC) it's too much of a investment for a 82 untradeable defender, but Leipizig is performing very well this season and currently leading their stage group in the UCL, so this is basic a guaranteed 84 rated card that has a real chance to be a 86 in the near future. He also plays in a good league and has arguably the best nationality to create hybrid squads this year, so for me, it's a no brainer, he's definitely worth it.

Chem Style: 100% Anchor. I know it's tempting to put Shadow on him (if your lucky enough to snipe or pack one anyway) and see those absolutely ridiculous 88 Acceleration with 97 Sprint Speed on a CB, but I think Strenght and Aggression are very important for defenders in this year meta, so with Anchor you can have a nice upgraded 78 Acceleration/92 Sprint Speed combined with 91 Strenght/89 Aggression, making him just as good as any other top defender in this stage of the game.    

Pace: Definitely one of the key stats that make this card so good in game it's his 87 Sprint Speed. For a 1,92cm CB it's just too good to be true, and you can feel it while you're playing. The 73 acceleration it's not really that much of a problem when you applied a chem style that boosts pace.

Passing: The improved Short Passing from 75 to 80 it's noticeable and makes quite a difference comparing to his regular card. For a CB, it works just fine.

Shooting: Yeah, nah.

Dribbling: He has 71 Agility which it's way higher than most of the top defenders in the game (go check Varane and Ferdinand stats), and I also think that helps on that feeling that he is faster in game than the Pace stats might suggest, he also have an average Composure, Ball Control and Dribbling stats. The Reactions are not that great but I honestly didn't feel the impact in game.

Defending: He doesn't have a great Defensive Awareness or Interception stats, but boosted with Anchor everything goes above 85, and he gets an outrageous 98 Standing Tackle, which means that he will steal the ball whenever he has the chance and it doesn't really matter who he is going up against.

Phisicality: the key stat here it's the Strenght. 87 Strenght boosted to 91 with Anchor makes him nothing less than a beast. Stamina is low but not really that noticeable, and even though he has H/H work rates he always stays on defense, so he can play 120 minutes without a problem,

In conclusion, he is a very fast, agile, strong and tall defender, that can and will upgrade in the next few months. What more can you ask for a 100k CB?
