85 - Headliners SBC
4.0
An interesting card
By xFingy, 20-01-2020

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.

Amazing Defender!!

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 ...

This card of smalling is absolutely insane, i used his headliner card and he was slow, but this version is so fast, the defending is perfect, and he's got a great phisical. I don't know why he cost only 116k, he's better than vvd 90

Smalling the tank

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.
