90 - TOTS SBC
When this card was leaked during BPL TOTS and I got TOTS Wan-Bissaka from my guaranteed BPL TOTS pack I knew I was going to get this card. I saw all the hate people were throwing at this card as Danny Ings was robbed of a TOTS card, but I decided to bite the bullet and get mighty Slabhead. I spent about 80k in liquid coins, and I can safely say that every single coin I spent was worth it. TOTS Harry Maguire is the best centre back I have used this FIFA, he could even be the best I've ever used (I haven't used any of the super expensive high rated CB's like TOTY Van Dijk or TOTS Ramos who I'm sure are better than Maguire). As the game is dying out and the market is dead and buried Slabhead may be expensive to unlock but if you have the coins lying around and a team that he could slot in to I wouldn't hesitate to suggest you get this card. I play a 4-2-3-1 with Maguire next to Flashback Boateng and they compliment each other perfectly. A shadow chemistry style on Maguire means he can catch up to almost every opposing striker (bar the obvious ones like Mbappe who have 99 pace), and if Maguire gets out-paced, Boateng will sprint over and deck the striker like they're a child. My squad has changed drastically over the course of Summer but the one player who I've never even considered replacing is Slabhead.
- Pace: A shadow chemistry style turns Maguire into Usain Bolt.
- Passing: 99 short and long passing alongside 87 vision means that Maguire will rarely misplace a pass on a game where passing is especially awful.
- High/High Workrates: This is both a pro and a con, as different people have different playing styles, but I find Maguire's workrates to be very good. His high passing and dribbling stats combined with his high attacking workrate leads to Maguire being capable of creating chances and moving the ball up past the half way line despite being 6'4 and a centre back.
- Defending: Maguire's stand tackling and slide tackling are both brilliant, and from my experiences Maguire has pulled off many perfect last-man tackles whenever my other defenders slip up.
- Physical: My God. This guy is as strong as a bull. Whenever Maguire is chasing down a fast striker more often than not he'll close in on them and win the ball back through sheer brute force.
- Heading: On a game where you score one in a million headers, Maguire has scored many headers for me. His aerial presence is similar to FIFA 19 Sergio Ramos, as no matter the opponent he will rise above them and get clean contact on the ball.
- Slabhead: It's a usable Harry Maguire card, what's not to love?
- Pace: Pace is both a pro and a con, as Maguire can catch up to most strikers but not all. This problem can be prevented by having a fast wing back accompanying Maguire but I still feel that this could cause you problems in decisive moments.
- Agility: This is a fairly obvious one. Generally I haven't had many problems with Maguire's agility in game (as TOTS Maguire has better agility and balance than gold Van Dijk) but the agility and balance is one of the main people this card is disliked by so many, which is why I think it's a con.
