Player Review
93 - TOTY
When I saw TOTY Alphonso Davies, I knew that I had to try out the first ever team of the year player from my country, Canada. I managed to pick him up on Thursday, for 1.45 million coins, and have since slotted him into my weekend league side.
I used him as a defensive midfielder in the 442(2) formation, trying out multiple chemistry styles. I used the deadeye, backbone, and gladiator, and found that all were effective, but depending on how you want to play him, choose whichever suits that role the best.
I decided to play him mostly as a defensive mid who could push forward to help Neymar and Mbappe score goals. With Davies the bridge is lethal, as his combination of dribbling, speed, and strength help to propel him past the defenders. Surprisingly, his shot was phenomenal. He scored 19 goals, while offering mental passing from the middle of the park, combining for 12 assists as well. Davies is a phenom on the defensive end, using his tackling and pace to easily win you back the ball.
In conclusion, Alphonso Davies is the best defender and central midfielder I have used so far this year, and I would recommend him to almost anyone at any price you can afford.
- Pace
- Strength
- Tackling
- Attacking Position
- Skills/Weak Foot combo
- Balance, agility, and overall dribbling
- Finishing, when the proper chemistry style is applied
Nothing. Genuinely nothing. He does everything so well. Honestly, if you gave him a deadeye and slapped him left striker in a 442, there's no reason he couldn't score 6 goals per game. Buy him. Just do it.
