Player Review
93 - TOTY
I decided to buy this card as i had a lot of coins to spare and i wanted to try playing a 352 to change up my style a bit. Davies was used in a 352, 5212 and 4231 all in division 1 rivals games. I found his pace to be a bit of a lie, his face stats say 99 but he doesn't feel 99 fast, this could be due to his bodytype. Don't get me wrong he is "fast" but for some reason isn't able to burst past backs like my RB (FS Dest) or Mbappe can.
Shooting wise when i used him as a LM/LWB with a Guardian i must say it was phenomenal for a fullback. Obviously you don't want to finesse shot with him as he doesn't have the trait.
His passing was pretty good, i didn't have any issues even with a chemistry style that didn't boost passing. His long passing as the card stats suggest isn't that great, but i barely do those with my wingbacks or backs anyways so for me it doesn't matter.
Dribbling wise he is great, but in my opinion he is a little too tall to be the perfect dribbler. I have given him a 9/10 as he is very smooth on the ball, yet his height can hinder him sometimes if im going to nitpick.
Defending wise i found him to be good but nothing special compared to other leftbacks i've used, even with a sentinel boosting his defending to the max. He is very reliable and i never felt anxious when through balls were sent to the opponents prime george best on the wing and he comfortably caught up and tackled.
Physical stats on this card are seemingly good but this is where i find him fraudulent. Sure he has 93 strength and 99 with a sentinel but something causes him to let the ball bounce back a lot to my opponents. Stamina is great, jumping isn't very important. He can last 120 minutes as a LB but as a wingback/midfielder he might struggle a bit sometimes.
Now i might seem harsh on what i've written but im just trying to nitpick his flaws, and i have given him high reviews in everything except physical because he is amazing. Now when it comes to value for money i don't rate him very highly. Sure he is a decent CDM or CM but even there i didn't find him to be anything special or as its called a "gamechanger" like bruno fernandes or gullit is. He was good but his slim build let him down as a defensive minded player. I don't recommend spending your budget on this guy if you have coins to spend other places, but if you love the 352 this guy is absolute perfection. You will not find a better wingback than him.
