83 - IF
I saw the Paulinho flashback and decided to get it. At the same time I had a team built around POTM Vardy and hence I decided to build a hybrid squad within 400K and wanted to have full chem. Smalling's stats look very average but for some reason he seems to be one of those "meta" defenders. I slapped a shadow on him and he is like the great wall! tackles are inch perfect and positioning sense is amazing! I have now played over 10 games with him and I average Div 4- Div 3. I came across an opponent who had Mid level Cruyff and Son as his cams and Auba as his striker. Smalling had Cruyff in his pocket the entire time. At times I started wondering am I that good at defending or is this guy mental?
For 12K you cant go wrong! Just buy him and you wont regret!

Have not come across any in the 10+ games I have played. Goals that were conceded were mainly due to EAids or my own defensive error.
