Player Review
85 - UCL Live
Before we get into the actual review, I would just like to say this is my first review, and I made an account just to review this beast. Ok, so I was lucky enough to pack this guy untradeable when the RTTF promo first came out from a rivals rewards pack. And immediately, I was excited, as he was the highest rated player I have packed all FIFA. I changed my team to fit this guy in, and his partners have come and gone, new formations, on 7 chem and 10 chem, and before and after the upgrade, and he has not disappointed whatsoever.
Pace: 9.6/10
I am not kidding when I say this guy is FAST. He is insane. He has great pace without a chemstyle, but with the anchor that I use, this man is an absolute tank. He keeps up with my opponent's loan Mbappe's as well as the other top tier attackers. I will add more in the physical section about why it is so hard to pass for pace.
Shooting: 4.3/10
Now, I haven't used him as a striker, so his job isn't to score goals, but he has popped up with some great goals over the course of his time at my club. I can't recall any insane finishes, but he can score a tap-in. His heading from corners is insane tho, so most of his goals came through those.
Passing: 8.9/10
I have been extremely surprised with how good he can pass the ball. Under pressure, he can find my teammates through my opponent's high press, and get the attack started. Short passing is great, and the between the lines passing is phenomenal as well. Just don't cross with him and he will do more than enough as a CB.
Dribbling: 7.4/10
Well, he can't dribble like Firmino, but then again, he is a CB. He can pass his way out of pressure, just don't try to do skill moves or something with him when being pressed. He is quite big and strong though, so he can hold off an attacker for a bit while dribbling sometimes.
Defending: 9.9/10
This guy never puts a foot wrong. Insane interceptions along with great reactions, defensive awareness, and tackling stats makes him an absolute BEAST. I swear, this is the best defender I have ever played with, and along with his pace and physical stats, he is incredible. I'm pretty sure this has to do with his high reactions and great defensive awareness, but either way, he is amazing. The heading accuracy is great on the defensive side, but on corners while attacking, he misses the goal quite a lot compared to the chances he has had.
Physicality: 9.8/10
This guy can JUMP. With an anchor he has unbelievable jumping, and he always gets above the defender regardless of who it is. Although he may not always score the chance, he will get to the ball. On the defensive side of things as well, he will win the header no matter who it is. He has even won headers against CR7!!! His stamina is great, he can always last a full game. Now, his strength with an anchor is unbelievable. No attacker can run by him because he has great pace anyway, and with the boosted strength, he just bodies people out of the way. The aggression is nice as well, always working hard in defense.
All in all, he is a game changer, and has made my team so much better. Even if he doesn't fit your team, if you can afford it, change your team to fit him in. This guy is well on his way, and probably is already, a club legend for me, and I look forward to using him in the future as well. Thanks for reading!!
