Player Review
87 - Future Stars
Just made the test for myself on this WL since I really needed a brazilian left fullback after being able to afford them after using Wendell RTTF.
I‘ve started with Telles for the first 15 games and then I sold him to go further with Lodi for the left ones. So before starting I‘m a Division 4 and Gold 1 / Elite 3 player.
I expected Telles to be more solid and reliable on crucial 1on1 situations cause of his height than Lodi but I was so wrong (this was the main thing I‘ve searched for).
Lodi does by far more of those „automatic“ interceptions and his tackels are really easy to conduct. I don‘t know why but with Telles I needed to concentrate so hard to win the duells against Adama‘s and Kent‘s and his weak foot is a huge let down against clever opponents who will block the passing route of his left foot immediately. Btw Ive used anchor on both cards.
But anyway passing is great on both.
Another huge advantage of Lodi is his defensive positioning after getting countered cause of his Med/High. In many situations Telles was lost cause of random runs even with stay back what it made easy for the opponent.
Dribblingwise I felt way more safe with Lodi too due to his Meta body frame and stats.
Stamina is great on both.
I can‘t rate their shooting cause I just assisted with them.
In conclusion I rate Lodi as 5/5 for a Fullback on this stage of the game and Telles as 2/5 in value for coins. Honestly I felt equaly safe by using Wendell as with Telles.
I hope this helps.
Everything
No let down.
