86 - FUT Freeze SBC
When Jesus Navas was released the majority of us was disappointed, a 5’’ 8’ CB is not what we asked for, but I was really happy with this card. With my La Liga back line I was able to slot Navas in and swap with Marquinhos in game in a 4-4-2. The little wizard sat on stay back in the RCM position for 10 games of Rivals with me and I was really impressed. His small build and high agility meant he could easily dribble the ball out of difficult situations despite his low strength and find his midfield partner Witsel or his winger Bellarabi. Defensively he was sublime and if there was a stray pass by my opponent in midfield, he would cut it out and with his 93 pace with a shadow applied, could easy launch a counter attack. This card is a fantastic option for people running Marquinhos who they can swap in game with as he is absolutely cracked as a CB, however if you do not have the option to swap with a CDM who is great as a CB then just don’t do him because as a CB, he will really let you down with his height, I would also say he is slightly overpriced so make sure you can bring the cost of the SBC down with fodder in your club. Overall, I’d give this card an 7/10 and if his default position was a CDM then it would be a 9.5/10.
Pace (with a shadow applied)
Dribbling, fantastic build and great agility and balance stats
Interceptions and defending are superb
Finished his one chance really well
Default position should be a CDM but good that he isn’t for Marquinhos owners.
Height (a pro and con because it makes him so good on the ball but he isn’t winning any goal kicks)
Slightly overpriced
