Can't lose me
By Zobdab2017, 11-05-2020

I had previously used a centerback partnership of laporte and ramos and while laporte was very good in possession I would get killed sometimes by runs in behind and faster strikers. I got varane and replaced laporte and I don't have many complaints. While I just recently got the Kante that you see in the squad builder, he is very good at cutting players off before they can break away and his height gives him really long strides so he steps across faster strikers and with Sentinel his tackles and strength is excellent. His positioning is so good and he gets in the way of shots all the time and makes key interceptions. He is commanding in the air defensively and his high defensive work rate means his marking is very good and he can track fast strikers's runs really well. I used him in a 4-3-3 false nine for the most part.

Pace

Positioning

Tackling

Very few players who are faster and can also hold him off physically

passing and dribbling isn't great for playing out the back but he makes up for it with his defensive work

Despite being 6-3 his headers kinda suck on corners but again he makes up for it defensively

Best CB after VVD!

Where do I begin! I managed to pack this guy and he immediately fit into my team vastly improving my defensive record. He's a man mountain. Pace is clearly not an issue, I did use a shadow chem style on him and wow is he rapid. His strength is brilliant and he is rarely outmuscled by anyone. His tackling is next to none. He also wins every ariel duel wherever it may be on the pitch!

Very Good but not as expected

After doing one 81 double upgrade I got this guy and sterling (I'm gunna say that's a dub). I've used him in a couple of games and defensively in terms of tackling and LT defending he is exceptional, However he isn't as fast as you would expect and he can't push some forwards like adama off the ball like you would like him to. So overall I would say he isn't worth buying for 1 mil however if you get him in picks definitely ...

An Absolute machine

Before i say my review, i must mention that i packed him untradeable, so some of my ratings may be a bit biased because of that. This year i have been lucky enough to try van Dijk and him side by side, and i must say, Varane is by far the better option. although this card is much more expensive than that of Van Dijk`s, he truly defines what you need at CB. Pace, power, strength, hes got it all. i would even advise getting h...
