Better than VVD

By JordanPickford, 02-02-2020

50 SB Games and I finally got him. Prime Campbell. His stats look promising, a similar kind of player to Van Dijk, I hoped, to complete a fearsome defensive partnership.

He exceeded all expectations. To give some context, I usually finish with ~17 wins, meaning I win (on average) about half my games. So far in this first WL with Campbell?

6/7 so far. The man is a beast. First and foremost, his combination of uniquely huge body type, supreme strength and high tackling stats make him one of the best tacklers I’ve played with this FIFA. Not only does he fare better that most when manually tackling in terms of winning the ball, but his ability (only matched by VVD) to truck through just about any ball carrier means he comes away cleanly in possession 9/10 times.

His interceptions are remarkable too, as with his heavy body type and low agility and balance, you would expect him to be an immovable, albeit good, object. He’s not. He has an insane reach allowing him to latch on to balls far from his feet, which is useful if you like to play a high line.

His passing, likely the biggest turn-off for this card, feels more like 80 than its lowly 60. He’s no Iniesta but he can play the ball out the back with confidence and accuracy, which is all you really need.

His aerial ability is solid. He is yet to score a header for me yet, but even VVD has only bagged ~5 for me in 380 games. Heading is broken in FIFA20, especially on corners, which are the only time Campbell is high enough up the pitch to head toward goal, so I wouldn’t worry too much here. Defensively, both in his own box and with balls over the top, he is perfectly capable of beating his man to the high ball 9 out of 10 times.

His pace is relatively high for a defender, and with a Shadow Chem Style he gets 92 acceleration and 93 sprint speed, meaning he can contend with most attackers. Again, you won’t see him barrelling down the pitch in chase of a long clearance, but with the right chemistry he is rapid even with his big build.

Overall, if you have the facilities to do so, I would 100% recommend getting him from Icon Swaps, and now that I know how he feels in game I wouldn’t hesitate to spend 800k on him either.

-Rapid (with the right chem style)

-Ridiculously strong

-Wins most ariel duels

-Solid defensive attributes

-Passing is better than expected but could be better

Pasa la pelota o el jugador nunca ambos!

Uno de los mejores centrales que he probado en el juego, cuesta alrededor de 500k pero vale la pena. He jugado con el 186 partidos y les puedo ASEGURAR que no comete penales, no he cometido ningun penal, es una bestia defendiendo gracias a su agresividad es capaz de adelantarse al delantero cuando esta por recibir el balon, y si el no es capaz de llegar pues molesta el jugador a tal punto que lo desequilibra para quitarsela...

Sol Campbell- Surprising

Before I begin, this is my very first review so if I leave anything out or if you have any suggestions on how I can improve, feel free to ask or leave suggestions!I bought Sol Campbell because I needed an English Strong link to the new Pope SBC card who I wanted to try out in my team. I've tried prime Rio in the past and didn't like him and Tomori's price was drastically inflated so I patiently waited and ...
