Player Review
88 - Icon
First Off, I play Roberto Carlos as a CM. Check my squad out and if you can figure out where everyone goes in a 3-4-1-2 then you are smart enough to appreciate this review ;). 1 hint...Adama has Sniper Chemistry :p.
The Review:
I packed Kante day 1, Living the dream right...well no. Coming into FIFA 20 i got done over 6-5 in my first div rivals game and lost to legendary in Squad battles which hasn't happened more than a few times of the past few years in FIFA. I'm not saying it was Kantes' fault but with the new mechanics you could have a 99 defending player and still he ain't sticking a foot out or intercepting a thing unless you have put him right where he needs to be beforehand.
So lesson 1 was, don't waste coins on just a 'Defensive Player' like Kante.
Now i invested in Carlos knowing Adama would get an Inform at RB and wanting to use him as a Striker at full chem i needed a left back that can play somewhere besides LB. (i did this last year with Marcelo TOTY)
Carlos ticks every single box, slap an Artist on him and you have a superb CM, slap Sniper and you have a Superb CAM and Sentinel you have a Super CDM.
So the theory was all good, i don't mess about when it comes to FIFA. Top 100 Squad battles player for years and average player online (Div 3 fifa 19, Div 5 FIFA 20) Yes my defending sucks i am too impatient for FIFA 20 apparently :)
Anyway, this card BLEW my mind. I mean i imagined he would be good, but not as good as he actually is.
Imagine Kante, David Silva and Adama combined. Carlos is a Rhino on steroids.
If you are a sweaty noob who doesn't know his left from right then yes his weakfoot will cause you prblems and if you like to do skills with a CM or LB etc he only has 3 star which might make you cry.
Pace

Free Kicks
Stamina

Dribbling
Looks Sexy in game
Defending (reactions/right place right time)
He's 5'6 (as if that matters in FIFA 20)
His weakfoot will be a problem if you forget to shoot on his favored foot.
You have to switch him ingame to CM as for a LB he is just wasted, Imagine Matthias as a LB....
