84 - SIF

Best RB i've used this year
By Dxmingo, 30-12-2020

As soon as I saw the stats for Tavernier's card I knew he was going to be something special. I got lucky enough to pack him from the 80+ player pick after previously purchasing him for 25K an hour earlier. I've played 50 games with him so far and I can see he is the best RB i've used this year (Previously I have used Semedo, Walker, AWB, Mukilele RB).


When it comes to this card he feels like a mix of Walker and TAA. He has the best of their stats, he's agile, fast, strong and has decent shooting stats which can be boosted with the right chem.


Every game i've played with him, he's been a force in terms of attacking but also amazing in tracking back and defending regardless of his low defensive Awareness - the strength really makes a big difference. This is a card that you should definitely get if you can chem him with any english players and or icons. For 22K this card is an absolute steal! He also looks like he could play CDM really well with a Gladiator.


I would not recommend playing him at CB.


This guy is due to get a Headliner which is worth purchasing as I can easily see that reaching 88 Rated and I think he will be guaranteed a TOTS in the community vote later in the year.

  • Def. Awareness (but this hasn't been a major issue for me)

Links ( I have him paired next to AWB Freeze and an icon at CM (SBC) for 10 chem but the other option would be Gomez) - even on 8 chem he's still a beast!

THIS CARD IS INSANE!

Where to start? I completed his SBC as a replacement for Ferland Mendy, big boots right? Not for this man! Playing him at LB on 7 chem linking to IF Ryan Kent and he is a BEAST! He bully's players and does not stop until he comes away with the ball. You can't out-pace him, you can't out-strength him and with any defence boosting chem style, you can't get passed him. His passing is great and starts counter attacks lik...

absolute monster

I was looking for a good RB since LB Ferland Mendy irreplaceable. And this guy is the counterpart of my defense.Tavernier is a Top Tier RB, like Valencia in FIFA 18 or Kenny Lala in 19.I link him with Gomez and Jadon sancho in a 451 and all what i can say, this card is a must have if you want to achieve a mount everest of a defense.Walker and Bellerin had a weird style of playing, looked to w...

Bossernier

Only played a few games with this tank, but boy is he insane. He can play almost anywhere on the pitch, ignoring his 3* 3*. He is always there to sweep up and I link him to inform Kent in a 451 on the left side. In attack this guy bosses it too, banging goals in link a machine, and he is 99.99% going to get upgraded at the beginning of next month and then he will be even better ...
