Positioning ruins him
By Fnerdel, 11-02-2021

I needed Davies to get chemistry for Moments Boateng. This card looked pretty good on the face of it, with the 96 Pace looking particularly tasty. I didn't expect him to be game-changing, but i was at least hoping for him to be able to hold his own. But it's safe to say i was disappointed. He was by far the weakest point in my team.


Now, he definitely has some positives. His Pace is obviously great, even if it doesn't feel quite like 96. This just doesn't really make up for the fact, that he is ALWAYS out of position. He does catch up sometimes, but more often than not, he's too far forward to have any chance of coming back. If an opponent counters, you can bet on Mr. Davies to be nowhere to be found. The amount of goals and assists i've conceded to Salah, HL Mahrez, FB Ronaldo and FB Robben these past 46 games have been off the scale.


He's actually fine at defending, and his physicality positively surprised me. When he does go back, he usually had no problem muscling the typical RW's off the ball. This is basically nullified by his positioning though.


Now now, i know what you'll say. "But he has H/M workrates, of course he'll get forward a lot". Sure, but that doesn't really explain him thinking he's a CM all of a sudden, leaving the left side completely open.


Contrary to HL Tavernier who's on the right-back, he doesn't contribute with goals or assists either. Tavernier will make up for his H/M workrates with a decent contribution offensively, but Davies only has 1 assist in 46 games. Now, i can remember him being useful in build a few times, and as long as you don't expect him to be Xavi, he's pretty reliable.


Shooting is awful, no need to elaborate.

  • Pace is fine, albeit maybe a tiny bit disappointing
  • Defending is fine
  • Physicality is surprisingly good
  • Positioning is the worst i've seen in this game

Best LB, LM, CDM, CM in FIFA 21

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 w...

The Best LB In The Game

I have used the likes of Mendy and Hernandez but the one that worked the best for me was Davies. He is rapid and his dribbling and defending are way better than his stats say they are. He plays like he should have 90 defending. He was game changing for me.He makes great runs up the wing and pulls the defenders out of position giving him the crossing option. I play him so he goes up on attack so he can get ...

Endgame LB

Squad i used https://www.futbin.com//21/squad/8371613. I've used his TOTY, but tbh paying 400k more for his TOTY upgrade, i don't think it is worth spending more than his TOTS. I still prefer his TOTY, but ayy, not complining since i got this card for free. Now talking about this pace merchant. u could defo play him in the midfield, could play him Cdm, but since i have so many crazy CM's/CDM"...
