88 - Flashback SBC

5.0

Justice for Azpi

By Josephhh, 28-02-2020

Since I've loved Azpilicuetas cards in the previous Fifas (especially his 86 rated base CB card), this flashback was a must-buy for me.

Looking at comments and the tons of downvotes he got, I feel like I have to stand up for my Spanish brother Cesar. First of all, his price is totally okay. Vvd goes for 400k. Flashback David Luiz was 550k. Scream Otamendi, who is HORRIBLE, still goes for 160k. 200k for an 88-rated Spanish Prem CB? That's not expensive. I've so far used him in about 10 rivals and 3 WL matches and his in-game performance is stunning. I've slapped a shadow on him and he works wonders. He is that kind of a card you simply feel safe with, one of those defenders of which you know he's going to win the ball back once you're close to it. His pace is amazing for a CB, he is agile, has balance, sections and composure and decent passing. His defensive stats are nuts. The one big downside everybody points at ist the 73 strength. For me, that's not a deciding factor. Paired with almost maxed out defending stats (as a shadow) and 88 aggression he just gets the ball back. no more strength needed. his height doesn't bother me at all since headers don't exist and agile CB's are way more effective in L2/LT defending. Additionally, he can be paired up with Ramos or alba and links green into icon swaps Hierro and guardiola. hands down, he's one of the best centerbacks of many I've tried

Dribbling, especially balance and agility
