89 - Flashback SBC

5.0

Top tier CB

By Matty1388, 19-04-2020

Where do you start with a card like this? I play a back three so am constantly looking for centre backs with a bit more speed and guile than average, and after using Tomori for ages I regrettably sold him because I needed the coins to buy the TOTY KDB that I'd been saving all year for. So with a lot of fodder accumulated, I completed the flashback Boateng SBC and man alive, what a disaster - I did not understand the hype of this card at all and sputtered to Gold 1 with that sentient log at CB after getting Elite with Tomori the week before.

But then, this SBC came along - initially I saw it pop up as the day's new content and immediately dismissed it, as I have FS Tierney and he's fantastic...but then a few hours' later I went back and actually looked at the card and realised that with a shadow chemstyle, he's close to, if not, the best centre back in the whole game. I quickly threw a few useless untradables in the SBC, and moved Tierney to CB in my squad and then switched them at kick-off, making full use of that pace boost on Fuchs.

He is an absolute bully - I could not have been happier with my decision and am writing this at 23-4 - I'd never gotten to Elite with fewer than six losses before. He pushes everyone off the ball, and while he's just as prone to rebound bullshit as every other defender in this broken game, he sends attackers flying to the ground with ease, and quite often helped start counter attacks with threaded through balls up the wing to Tierney. I cannot speak highly enough of him and if you have a few untradable 86s in your club, this SBC is practically free.

Do him! You won't regret it.
