91 - Flashback SBC

No Regrets (not even one letter)

I had to do this SBC as a dortmund fan and must say i was overall pleased. I did debate for a while whether I should complete the sbc or not, but am happy I went with my gut. As an average fifa player it is easy to see that pace is an important factor even for CBs this year, however, despite my clear bias, I can honestly say this player was well worth his starting spot in my defence. With so many options in bundesliga, (and on my team-see link) I can understand the hesitation to start hummels. However, what he lacks in pace, he makes up for in INTELLIGENT defending. He is a reliable cb, which is displayed this year in Fut game play. Whenever I required his positioning to be accurate, he was there. Whenever I needed him to intercept a through ball or man mark a drifting attacker, he was there. When he was overrun on occasion, he at times made miraculous tackles through the legs of his opponents (with no foul play). I parked my (88) akanji on the bench and started hummels because A) konate made up for what he lacked in strength but more importantly B) hummels provided a great balance to konates beast-like attributes with amazing defensive skills and intelligence. As an added bonus, athough he is more than capable of covering the back his passing is insane. This man sniped my wingers from the back line on multiple occasions. If he is ever pressured by an attacked his strength and great (pique-esque) dribbling abilities and composure were more than enough to ward off opponents. In summation, his dribbling and ball control enables him to ward off even elite attackers, qualities that make up a player with a unique in-game presence and prowess.

See cons below...

defensive intelligence, stock/build, strength, insane sliding and standing tackles, positioning, dribbling abilities, composure, reactions, Pin point accurate passes.

High/Low work rates means he annoyingly pushes up sometimes.
Although he has good heading accuracy and strength, his jumping is terrible. In a game with already nerfed goal scoring opportunities from headers, he isnt the best when it comes to scoring from up high. He was totally reliable when it came to defending from set pieces tho. On a side note, I never got to try him with anchor but Id be interested to see what that would feel like.
Finishing... dont think I need to explain this one.
PACE obviously. Look, the fact of the matter is he isn't the fastest but slap a shadow on him and he can compete. What he doesnt make up for in pace he does in defensive ability, positioning and intelligence. If your really feeling anxious, I personally recommend pairing him with a pacey cb or two (if you are running a 3 at the back formation).
Hopefully i have convinced you but if not, what the hell you can always just get flashback boateng and win all your games.

Game changer

Guys i dont know why but for me He is a game changer i dont have even a shadow on him ( extinct on pc market ) and still he is always in position ive played with him 10+ games and none ever pushed him he is just way too strong . Low agility and still he is able to change direction or block shots in no time . For this price to link with Boateng it cant be wrong.

Stop being pace whores ffs

Ok, this is going to be a weird review. So Hummels was released on the 18 of February 2020. Now this card is easily the most community splitting card after Valbuena. Now the card is being said to be an amazing card after he has amazing defending, great physicality and nice passing for a CB. But he has only 70 pace and has 63 acceleration. Now lets look at the other stats. He has a green link to either FB Neuer, Storyline Ak...

HIGHER FINISHING THAN FUTMAS COSTA AND A GREAT CB

Hello everyone. Today I am doing a Mats Hummels review as I have recently got him from my player picks. I will be listing and describing every face stat of this card. And yes, his 66 FINISHING is higher than FUTMAS DOUGLAS COSTA'S by 1, which makes him even better.Pace: 8/10Hummels definitely isn't the fastest CB in the game, as you can probably tell from the 68 ACCELERATION and 81 SPRINT SPEED. How...
