92 - TOTS

5.0

Absolute top tier, end-game CM

By Matty1388, 04-05-2020

Wow, wow, wow - what can you say about a card like this? As a Leeds fan who already had 600 games with the 84 version of this Phillips, I'd hoped EA would make his TOTS good enough to use for the rest of the year - and boy, did they deliver. When the EFL TOTS came out I couldn't believe how OP they'd made this card, but as I was saving my packs for EPL TOTS, I had to wait a week before I could bring him into the team.

Let me say, it was well and truly worth the wait. Alongside Moments Goretzka in a 5212, he bullied everyone around him - I had Gullit and Vieria last year and he compared to them, he's that damn good. At one point he even tackled two guys at once!

The biggest drawback with his 84 was his inability to get forward, but this card's boosts to shooting and dribbling well and truly fixes that. Obviously his skill moves and weak foot leave a lot to be desired, but they really are his only flaws.

I know the price tag is huge, but the perfect link to Ben White (who I will also write a review on and who is also fantastic) makes it pretty easy to fit him into your team - and both of them are absolutely outstanding. I started my weekend league at 21-3 with these two absolute beasts being among my best players (unfortunately ran into a guy who went 30-0 which derailed my dreams of Elite 1 after that, haha).

So yes, get this card if you can. Regardless of what formation you play he can be a bruising CDM, or a box-to-box CM. Either way, he's magic, you know...

Phenomenal Phillips

I was very lucky to pack this man hours after he was released, and while I was so excited to play with him, I still had my doubts given how some high rated players perform in this game. But Phillips was different, he is exceptional. I’ve only played a few games with him but he is undoubtably a fantastic endgame card, if you are a Leeds fan or you have the coins to get this man, GET HIM. You won’t regret it. His defendin...

Icon Level CDM

As a long-suffering Leeds fan, it's rare that we get usable cards in FUT - even last year's TOTS Pablo Hernandez was underwhelming. But my prayers have been answered this year, with one of the best CDMs in the game coming in the form of the Yorkshire Pirlo himself, Kalvin Phillips. I sat at work and grinded tediously through 24 SBCs the day this card dropped. I simply couldn't believe how brilliant this ca...

A god with ponytail

I remember like it was yesterday. I sat home on a Friday thinking about how I could improve my team. As I did Rio Ferdinand. (the bald god) I looked after a nice strong link. He was around 170k when I did him. I sat there watching twitch as I worked myself through the SBC. I'm glad I did.He is sooooo good. He's small, tanky, strong, can pass the ball with no problem and every time I play against my mates they always ...
