Player Review
90 - TOTS
EA, how you played with my emotions when the EFL Team of the Season was released. As a Leeds fan, I was overjoyed with how good Kalvin Phillips' card was, but gutted that the Whites had only been given one guy in the TOTS, despite being the best team in the EFL all year. I couldn't believe Ben White didn't get the call up, given he was arguably the team's best player all year and probably the division's best defender.
But then, mid-week, this SBC came - and with it, an absolute beast of a card. I was always going to get any Leeds player that got a TOTS into my club, but using them in WL would be another thing. Thankfully, both he and Phillips got absolutely ridiculously overpowered cards, who easily helped me finish elite this week.
Playing at RCB alongside Moments Ramos in the middle and Flashback Fuchs at LCB in a back three, he slotted into the team brilliantly and was even better than PIM Hierro, who had been a rock for me in that spot for the past couple of months.
Across 29 WL games I conceded just 41 goals, only conceding more than three once (and that was a 4-3 loss against a guy who went 30-0). I already wrote a review about Fuchs and everyone who has played FUT this year knows how good Ramos is, but White held his own next to these two and will definitely be in my team for the rest of the year.
Aside from his defensive stats which speak for themselves, he was never bullied off the ball and held his own pace-wise. His high long passing stat was also very useful for threaded through balls up the wing to my RWB.
An added bonus to this card is the perfect link to Kalvin Phillips, who is also fantastic. If you can get both of them, they'll be rocks in your team until FIFA 21.
PS You can do the SBC a lot cheaper if you bid for guys instead of BINing!
