Player Review
89 - UCL Live
I play Alaba with anchor style in a 4-1-2-1-2 next to IF Delayne and Zakaria RTTF as a CDM and i have to say, this is like cheating... I played him in the WL where i normaly get Gold1 or 2 if i have enouht time. He scored 8 goals, but 7 of them as a penalty, but i mean... scoring is just not his job.
Alaba is small, yeah... but he is quick, gets every interception and when he has the ball, there is no easy loss in the box or anything else. His controll of the ball is amazing and his passing feels way better then his stats might seem. I need a CB who can bouild my game, so i played with Hummels IF and Delayne IF before, but Alaba is even better in controlling the game then Hummels was. His heading is not the best, but with Delayne who wins everything u dont really miss a tall CB.
So yeah, he is woth the money for a CB, also keep in mind that bayern might get very far in the CL, so he could be a 90+ in a few weeks.
But i haven´t told you the best part. I switch CDM and CB, depending on what i need in game. Alaba is a great CB, but as a CDM he is a god. He feels like a mix of kante and Pogba and that Zakaria with his 1.90 height, his 86 pace and ecept for his jumping and heading a perfekt physical and def stats will do the job as a CB was clear. So when i want to play a bit mor offensive, i play alaba as a CDM, if not zakaria will go there and alaba stays as a CB. in both positions he is outstanding, with the coming upgrades he will get the 2500 in game stats, so he will be even better in the center of the field.
I know, this sound a bit overhyped, but when i saw that the price for him droped i thought i could try him and i still dont know why he is that cheap. With davies and neuer he can play in every squad and when you have a good CDM that u want to play as a CB but u dont want to loose chem... take this guy. imagine what he looks like when bayern wins the next two games against lazio and he ll get +2.
