85 - TOTGS

5.0

Better than Varane, Casemiro and Giménez

By LionelMessi1994, 22-12-2020

So, guys! I packed him untreadable a few weeks ago, in his promo. I kept him in the bench cause I had varane and rttf klostermann. Since I wanted to save some coins in order to buy Mbappe ad Neymar I decided to pair him with Koundé, since he was already upgraded and OMG. He reminded me of his TOTS last year, for me he is better than Varane, Casemiro, Gimenez, rttf Klostermann and If Gomez, because he has the dribbling, the passing, the physic and the pace. He performs much better than his stats.

PACE 9.5/10: He's fast, so fast I would say. He doesn't receive the 10/10 cause he's not at Klosterman's pace level. But he feels just as fast as Gomez If, he catched mbappe, Saint-Maximim, etc.

SHOOTING N/A

PASSING 9/10: He has a very good short and long pass,he definetely can exists of the annoying team pressure. His 80 short pass and 78 long passing, combined with his 4* WF makes him the leader when it comes to pass the ball

DRIBBLING: 9.5/10: Here's where I really felt the difference with other top deffenders. He feels smooth on the ball and can correct any skill, which this year is so important. Also he runs with the ball very attached at his feet cause of his ball control. For me that's very important for a defender, cause he doesn't lose the ball easily under preassure.

DEFENDING 10/10: Well, he's a CB, all the other stats matter but this is the differencial one. He performs better than Varane and similar to Klostermann. If you come close to him or if he catches you, you'll lose the ball. And the most important thing, he KEEPS it. Always at place, blocking any shot. Simply perfect. Reminds me so much to his TOTS.

PHISICALITY 10/10: 88 strength, 87 agression. If he touches you, you're out. He wins every corner, every cross. And you can't pass him. He always puts his body and if the ball pass, the player does not.

PRICE: 190K on PS and 200K on PC. He is so underrated here. If he was PL or french he would be at least double the price. But tha'ts only better, try him before people realize how OP he is and will go up.

Linkability: You can pair him Koundé, which is a perfect deffending couple, also with rttf Bruno peres on the right, marquinhos and all the brazilian links you can imagine.

I honestly can't see any con. I was reticent in the beggining of using him cause of the other one review he has. But having tried almost all the top tier defenders, I can say that he really outperforms Varane, and RB Gimenez, definetely.

Give him a try if he fits your team!!

A Must Have!

So i never actually used the Gold version of this card or the previous 84 but i liked the look of the Headliners one as it stood, plus with the potential to upgrade as well i thought i would test him out. My normal CB pairing was Varane and Prime Blanc which i loved so for me to sell Blanc i would absolutely have to love Diego Carlos....I sold Blanc after 5 games. I fell instantly in love with this card!! The main thing for...

Best CB I've used so far

He is fast and agile. If you spam L2 for defence like I do then this is your guy. With his strength and pace, he is like a tank on steroid.Partnering with Tomori and managed kept a few clean sheets on Division Rivals.

La review italiana che cercavi :)

Trovato nel Party Bag, l'ho subito messo in squadra insieme a Casemiro Freeze.Tutto sommato è un buon difensore con buone stats e costa molto meno dell'Headliner che è abbastanza simile.Tra i due meglio andare sul risparmio.
