Player Review
89 - UEL LIVE Obj.
Honestly I didn't like Mbabu's standard card. He physically was incredible but his footballing ability, passing, defending and dribbling felt poor. So I used Da Costa over Regular Mbabu. Until I saw this Card that is. He was easy to obtain so hopefully you all got him, but is it worth trying to jam him into your team? I think so, but make your own mind up. Bare in mind this review comes from the base 81 mbabu. As he increases to 84, 86 etc then this may all change. I will come back to update should this happen.
I haven't reviewed his shooting because I simply haven't shot with him yet!
Pace and Physical - I combined these two stats because they are what Mbabu is. Fast, Strong, Incredible Stamina! Aggressive it's a treat.
Tackling - If you tackle with this card you WILL win the ball, it's that simple.
Crossing + Passing - I know not many people cross but i feel it HAS to be mentioned. This cards crossing is incredible, I have put crosses into both Lewa and Wright with this card and it works a treat! Regular passing is great too. Over the tops even work fairly well considering this cards stats.
Dribbling - This cards dribbling feels better than the card suggest. It isn't great by any stretch but it is workable.
Heading - This cards height and decent jumping you expect to win headers, especially considering the height of most wingers. But he.. he wins most, but there are more questionable failures than I care to have.
Positioning + Interceptions - On the card these stats are OK, but Mbabu lacks something with positioning and intercepting. If you move him manually he is great but he doesn't do many auto blocks.
