89 - Headliners Upgrade
Alex Telles has had a very special place in my heart since FIFA 18, he was my left back for the entirety of all 2 of those FIFA's and will soon be my endgame left back from what I can tell by playing him. I picked this card up at the very start of the headliners promo and started playing with him instantly.
The first thing you can notice is he is dominant in his domain, if any player walks into his position he charges at them at breakneck speed and will get the ball guaranteed. Now, this is no exaggeration, it is like he has magnets in his foot, the ball is just attracted to him when he tackles, and this is only for the the headliners, I player 500 games with the inform, but it had nowhere near the same effect. His dribbling is superb for his position, especially compared to everyone else in the same position, and his passing is accurate enough to lay through balls for a winning play.
His shooting and physical are no problem, unless you play him at ST or CB, the shooting will obviously be irrelevant, but his strength may be a let down on 1 on 1 challenges, but, when tackling, the strength is completely no issue, you see no difference because he would be able to catch up to anyone other than TOTY Mbappe or Headliners Adama.
+ Pace and Agility
+ Magnetic Defense
+ Good Dribbling
+ Decent Passing
-- Physical
What can i say this guy has been the best lb in the game for 2 years now! He deserves every upgrade he gets this card is no exception. He can stop any wing/striker in the game. messi, neymar, cr7,r9, mbappe whoever you can think of alex telles will make their game a living hell.
With shadow pace is unreal. 9/10 only other fullback thats quicker is carlos alberto and jordi alba[whom gets muscled too easily]
passing: 7.8 if he had 4 star weak foot he would be a monster
his defence and phys get a 10 for me. amazing stamina and rarely messes up a tackle or interception
3 star weak foot
I "upgraded" to his Headliner version this WL to see if he was the real deal. I used his normal gold version in the first month or two and he was great but this card... He is super clunky on the ball and weak at the same time. It's the worst combo on the defender. He was pushed off the ball numerous times and was struggling to win the ball from wingers. Didn't feel fast at all, it was really weird. The only pro I can say after using him for 25 games is his passing but then again he has 2 * WF which you can feel sometimes. I would stay away from this card, get someone either more agile or stronger.
Passing but only on his left foot
Pace was ok but nothing more than that
Stamina
Definitely better in the attack for me
Clunky on the ball, can't turn
He is tall for a fullback while he has only 70 strength
2* WF
Tackling is good but he is so weak that he just bounces off the opponent most of the time
