89 - FUT Future Stars
Think of Tapsoba as a combination of VVD and Walker, not quite as strong or defensively sound as VVD and not quite as fast as Kyle, but the combo perfectly compensates the significant shortcomings of those two.
I play 8-10 depth and I can say i prefer Tapsoba to base VVD, Varane, Gomez, RTTF Zakaria and Bastoni by quite a margin actually. Don't get me wrong, he is not perfect and my Prime Cannavaro has better positioning, but generally he is solid. Regarding his tackling and autoblocks he is on par with Varane (9/10) but behind VVD (10/10). His agility and balance, however, is quite a bit better than Varane, and is great for manual jockeying. He still lost his balance after tackling SIF Depay when Depay pushed him afterwards, causing me to concede a goal. By far the best thing about him is his raw PACE. He is the only defender I've used that can catch up to SIF CR7 AND at the same time could tackle him from the side/ block his shot at max speed.
PACE PACE PACE (Game changer for high depth)
Passing is superb, WAYYY better than my cannavaro and better than Klaiber.

Penalties for shootouts
Not as strong as you would expect but still at least on par with Varane
