86 - Rare

2.5

Not worth and does not live up to the hype

By Ryangux1, 19-10-2020

The squad that I have posted was on perfect Chem - but that is the formation I played it on ingame. I will most likely finish Elite in this WL - started 2-2 Sold this card for Van Djik and never looked back. I also played quite a bit of Div 2/1 with him.

The AI of this card makes alot of mistakes - does not mark as well as some of ~10k and under cards i've played against in the WL. While his pace over some of the other top defenders does help to make up for that, when he fails to mark a card like Mbappe - its a goal 9/10 times.

I also genuinely believe that this card has a bug in defending crosses. I have 4 clips of crosses that were scored while he was infront of the player and in prime position to stop the header and does nothing/moves his head out of the way. If you are facing this card just whip in another 50-60 crosses(on top of the 200 that everyone is already doing) and you should score a few goals.

There are similar enough defenders for much, much cheaper. And the difference between this card and the big boys (Van Dijk and IF Walker for my team) is massssiiive.

Lastly - Do not let past generations of this card persuade you to use him. I have used his gold card in my starter squad since FIFA 2018 - this card is no where near as good.

Pace is really good.

Links are great - perfect link to Mendy is amazing

Raphaël Varane

CB of dreams

Varane is by far the best Gold CB in the game. I tried Van Djik, Gomez IF, Ramos but no one can provide you his combination of extremely fast speed, powerful tackling and out of this world auto-blocking.I have Neymar and Mbappe in my squad but still, Varane is my MVP.Chem Style: Shadow
