Player Review
84 - SIF
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.
- Strength
- Defending
- Passing
- Dribbling
- Pace
- Penalties
- Good shooting
- Free kicks
- 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!
