Top LB until TOTY
By cdimoff, 04-11-2019

Ferland Mendy is one of a kind LB in Fifa 20 first and foremost because of his 5 WF. I really like the fact that he can tackle and pass with both feet and that's something that is not usual at all for any full backs. I've been using him with Anchor for over a month now and I have no intention of changing him with another LB. He is sitting next to Varane, Lenglet and Semedo and he's doing an amazing job at defense. He lacks some attacking skills in my opinion. Feels a bit stiff when it comes to dribbling and I do not like his crosses at all but the main reason he is staying in my team is the fact that he is fast and strong enough to stop any winger in the game.

I would definitely recommend him as a player that can stay in your team up until TOTY unless you have chosen Roberto Carlos from Icon Swaps.

The Beast

Mendy by far the most fun and efficient left back I've ever used in FUT. I previously had Andrew Robertson and I "downgraded" to Mendy after playing against him and realizing how OP he was. He is definitely worth it. I use him on sentinel chem and he is so fast, so strong, and good defensively. He has 4 star skills which is great because I usually like to play a possession based game and 5 star weak-foot so he can tackle and pass with both feet, and also check in on his right when dribbling. I have his runs on basic attacking support. It disgusts me when I see reviews calling Marcelo the most fun full-back in the game yet they tell him to stay back while attacking. Marcelo is probably flipping you off while you make him sit in your own half in line with your center backs. And this is coming from someone who in real life plays as a pretty traditional right back. Mendy rarely gets caught out on the counter attack and he seems to time his runs perfectly on the left side. He actually chips in with a few goals and assists every now and then and makes many more goal contributions than he is at fault for by getting counter-attacked. I don't think I have come up against a single forward who just gets the better of him all day down the flank. He's saved my skin many times with insane last ditch slide tackles after a striker beats my center backs. All in all, he's a brilliant all around left back. Here is the squad I currently use him in: https://www.futbin.com/20/squad/16899375

Good, but not worth the hype

I used to play with Alex Telles as LB, who was pretty much inconsistent and could be considered a weakspot in my team.

Then I decided to spend some coins on this beast. Used him with Backbone chem.


And yes, he's actually good. He doesnt need a pace boost to keep up with fast wingers, so u can focus chemistry on his def/pas skills. He's got decent physical presence, and he can push lil suckers off the ball pretty easily. Passing is probably his weakest point: he's prone to mistakes both in short passing and crossing.

Defending wise this guy is pretty average for his price: not as bad as Angelino, but on the same level as Telles.


Overall, I consider this card to be overhyped in the early stages of the game. He's good in game, dont take me wrong, but he won't be a gamechanger if you already have other top non-Icon LBs.
