89 - What If
3.0
Yuri Berchiche 87 as a stay back LB
By Spineco, 05-03-2021

Hi guys! I love to hybrid teams so when this new Yuri card came out I was very excited about the perfect link to Capa. I was also lucky enough to pack him from the 83 x25 pack so he went straight into my team.


I played him as a stay back LB with a Shadow Chemistry Style, next to TOTY Ramos and Freeze Jesús Navas on a 4-4-2(2).


There are many things that look fine about his card but just aren't, at least to my eyes. I am very used to be able to dribble with my fullbacks and move to ball up to my LM and RM. He just isn't the type of player that will be able to dribble past the enemy attacking line. He feels way stockier ingame than the likes of Acuña, RTTF Davies and even regular gold Mendy.


The biggest letdown for me has been the passing, though. Many of us like to put long through balls to our LM's when doing a counter attack. Well he just misses more than 50% of them and never seems to be able to do that amazing pass that will let your attacking winger on a one-on-one situation.


On the other hand, he does posses pretty good defensive capabilities and most time looks in position to incercept balls. Nothing crazy and nothing better than Mendy, unfortunately.


His stamina is good and his duty will last you for the whole game as a stay back LB.


He feels quick on long runs when chasing opponents but nothing spectacular too.


We'll have to wait for his potential upgrade to see how this card ends up feeling but for now he looks to me like a fill card for chemistry reasons.

Incredibly good

I bought him to replace Mendy in my fut champs team and all I can say is... finally a good LB I can use for cheap instead of mendy! Plus, it has a green link to my cucurella so it fits perfectly in my team! I hope he gets upgraded to 89, that would be insane.

Yuri Berchiche

When I started FUT this year i used Berchiche in the Spanish I built and I used all the way up until I packed Mendy in 75+. I actually hurt to take him out of the team and join one half of the dark side. I started experimenting with left backs for most of the year after I started to dislike Mendy. Moments Kurzawa was good and Roberto Carlos was great but neither were ever in their Position. Then What If came out and in Rewa...

solid starter team player

Hello together. Just a quick review from my side for Yuri Berchiche. I'm a Gold 2/1 player.I played 24 games with him in division rivals in a 4-4-2 as LB.He did very solid and could also win duels with fast wingers like Adama and co. For this price you can't go wrong.
