Player Review
89 - Icon
I'm a distinctly average FIFA player: I average Gold 2/3 when I do the weekend league; I watch episodes of the Simpsons while I'm playing and get occasionally distracted and give up an easy goal and laugh about it even though I'm mad; and reading about the META approach to playing this game goddamn EXHAUSTS me. I like using players I like for one season or another and can afford, and Bobby Moore's mid icon card for 5 swap cards? A bargain, as a Hammers fan.
Let's get this out the way: The pace will bother you if it bothers you. I put in the grind to get Moore, I invested in a Shadow for him. Is he rapid? No. Am I super-average at manual defending? hoo boy, you bet. Does Bobby have the cleanest tackles and crispiest passing of any CB I've used so far in-game? No contest. Thank god headers are messed up this year because his height is a non-issue 99% of the time. Pair him with a pacier or bulkier CB and you'll be happy.
That's IF you want him. I'm so, so tired of reading about tactics that will, at best, get me 16 wins in the WL instead of 14. Bobby makes me happy, and he's made my team better. More than worth decimating my Rivals skill score using a common gold Serie A team to finish his SBC off.
Tackling. 5'10 but I swear this guy has spider-man limbs.
Passing. never before has playing from the back seemed less foolhardy.
Positioning. Right place, right time. You don't even need to play on depth 1 drop back, Bobby has your back.
Pace, duh, but a defence is a unit, and some tactics and chemistry tweaks will make this card purr.
Get a haircut, hippie.
