Player Review
88 - Halloween
If you watch football alot you would know how left footed CB´s are talked about alot when discussing center backs. I really didn´t think about it like it should be important when playing FIFA. The reason I started looking for one was that I was always seeing good runs from my left sided attackers when the ball was at my LCB feets but 9/10 times the pass was horrible cuz I was using a right footed CB with 2-3* WF so I decided to look for a left footed CB and came across few good ones: Alaba, Lenglet and Ake but Laporte was the one I decided to go with and man.. he changed my team alot more than you think.
Overall
This player is a elite ball playing left footed CB with unique long balls and is so composed under pressure, he really loves being under pressure, thats where he shines, with 87 Composure, 90 Reactions, 80 Ball Contro & fantastic passing stats he is so good when in tied situations.
I play 4231 possesion and 442 long ball and he fits perfectly in those two systems. The Long Passer Trait is a game changer for him, he makes a long ball like he is prime Micheal Carrick passing it to RVP back in 2012
Value For Coins
He is worth it if you already got a great team. I would not reccomend any CB worth that much to anyone if you dont have a good team, but if you have a good team, then he is worth every coin.
Tip
I scored alot goals this WL just cuz of him. You need to take advantage of his build up play skills.
The one tactic I did was this:
Hold L1 and pass to your LB with your LM. Pass to Laporte and make a lobbed through ball (L1 triangle pass) with him to your LM and he is now in a great counter attack.
There are many other ways that I use and you will figure it out.
- Passing - His long balls are unique and he is really good at playing the ball from the back, dont forget, the Long Passer trait is real and make sure to take advantage of it.
- Defending - He is one of the best defenders in the game, reminds me of CB Capita.
- Under Pressure - He is so good under pressure. with 87 Composure, 90 Reactions and 80 Ball Control he is so good when in tied situations
- He is Left Footed - Left CB´s are very rare in this game and he is the best one.
- Easy to link - He´s french and in the Prem
- Heading - He is not going to be scoring alot from corners but I got RB Lukaku and Cantona in my team for that
- Pace - Dont take this as a Con, I put it here just to let you know that I think its best to have a faster defender beside him, I use IF Gomez.
There really are not many cons to him, he´s almost perfect.
