Player Review
92 - TOTS
Today the review falls on Ike Opara. This card brings a lot of nostalgia from previous years of FIFA, so i decided to buy him specifically for a FUTBIN Review. So let's get started.
Well when you look at a card like this you wonder what chemistry style you're gonna use on him, since his pace is so high, a shadow would feel like a waste, i took another look at some stats that he might've missed, and i decided to go with a "GUARDIAN" chemstyle.
Pace: [10/10]
Definitely one of the reasons Opara is so "OP" is because of his Pace combined with his height. This TOTS version of Opara sums up why he is nearly 350k by the time i'm doing a review on him. His pace is something else.
Shooting: [N/A]
This section is quite irrelevant for a CB, so i've decided not to rate him on those parametres.
Passing: [7.5/10]
His passing is decent, he does the job to be quite honest with ya. 99 Short passing with 95 Long passing makes this card really good for quickly getting rid of the ball, which you usually do with a Centreback. In order to him not receiving a higher rating is because he lacks "vision". He sometimes does these weird passes, and i do not know 100% if that is due to the lack of "vision" but yeah.
Dribbling: [9/10] (Guardian Chemstyle boosts this section)
This card provides all you can ask for in terms of the dribbling sections for a CB. Amazing agility, amazing balance, amazing composure, everything BUT the actual dribbling is amazing, however, his actual dribbling is not that bad either, but i gave him the "Guardian" chemstyle to boost the dribbling specifically, because i do like to have my CB's to touch the ball a few times before passing it over to the fullbacks or the CDM.
Defending: [10/10] (Guardian Chemstyle Boosts This Section)
This card is just brutal when it comes to defending, he provides hard tackles to get the ball, which i personally like, and he always positions himself really good when it comes to counter attacks from my opponents. His defensive stats are ALL 99 when boosted with the "Guardian" chemstyle. So of course he is amazing in defence.
Physical: [10/10]
This is just AMAZING when it comes to a card like this, 99 Jumping, 98 Strength, 95 Aggresion and 85 Stamina which is more than enough for a CB. Honestly, not only those stats, but his physical presence with his bodytype in-game is just amazing. His bodytype is: "High and Average" Which in my opinion is the best bodytype for a CB, and you know who else has that same bodytype? Van Dijk, Diego Carlos, Manolas, Rio Ferdinand... All these are meta CB's and this gives you EVERY reason to buy this card.
Overall: [10/10]
This card is honestly just spectacular, he got everything that you need in order to stop the really good cards, like CR7 TOTY, Mbappe TOTY, Neymar TOTS, etc. I would recommend the "Guardian" or the "Shadow" chemstyle on him, this way you improve his defensive stats as much as possible which is the only thing you want to get the perfect CB.
Would i call this card the perfect CB? If you can link him properly. YES!
