Player Review
87 - FUT Birthday SBC
Greetings from Romania! Hope all of you are healthy and staying at home!
Well let's start off with saying that I play a ligue 1 squad. I played him RCB next to Zanetti, because I wasn't playing when LALA Obj was on, next to LCB Gabrielsen and Bakayoko RCM in a 4-3-3 (4) formation. So clear to everyone he was only on defensive duty, stay back of course. I have 48 games with him and I just finished full WL with him. I am a gold 3/2 player, so i'm not ur Ovvy player, just grinding really hard and sweaty, fighting scripts, buying new controllers so average FIFA player. I played him with shadow to boost the pace up so he can keep with pace whores. 8/9 out of 10 times he keeps up, but there is always that time when attacker just sprints out of reach. When I'm playing against skillers that just turn around 200 times and drag backs 500 times and fake shot the shit out of me, he is not so good, very cluncky at turning. All the nimble attackers feel like beyblades near him. You must guess the side always, if not they are gone, but maaaan if get them head on he just destroys them. I didn't try any skills with him to be honest. He is realiable somewhat in defense AI, but I don't know why for some reason there are moments where he just phases out, I don't know if it's the scripts or my fault for not doing what I should. But even if you select them and try to get him to the attacker he kind of just keeps a distance and leaves room for shots that go in always from meta players. His passing is ok, can't complain here. Long and short, if not under pressure are ok. You can boost play speed with him a few steps, but if he is pressured and you try to turn around, not gonna happen. Haven't seen interceptions from him, more from Gabriel tbh. He jumps for high balls ok. If you get in extra time he will lose stamina bad and he will be beaten easily by pace.
Not worth for 200 imo.
-Strong
-Aerial presence
-Head-on he will push anything (haven't lost to anyone yet)
-Blocking shots, he is quite big
-Passes seem ok, but didn't try anyhing out of the ordinary with a CB
-WF
-Pace
-AI sometimes
-Clunky
-hard to tackle nimble players
-I think if you are a RS flick defender it would be better
-Overpriced - you can grind/trade a little more and get something better
-Stamina in overtime
