90 - What If

5.0

Smalldini (90 upgraded version)

By ImLufffy, 11-03-2021

His 88 rated card was already a seriously good centre back, but this upgrade has tipped him into an elite group of players. No doubt he is now a top 3 non icon CB in the game. Search from all defenders with 82 + pace, 70+ dribbling, 90+ defending and 90+ physical and you'll be met with Smalldini and TOTS defenders - if that doesn't say it all already, listen up.

Pace 8/10

I've played him next to Varane and they are similar pace wise. Who hasn't used Varane? Easiest comparison. Anyway, he can catch most players and didn't struggle dealing with the usual Mbappe and Neymar who appear in every single game.

Dribbling 8/10

Felt less clunky than expected. He's still a mountain, but I didn't concede because of his movement once. Don't look at his stats and decide not to try him because of this.

Defending 10/10

Cracked. That's it. That's all you need to know. Blocks and tackles anything that comes near him.

Physical 10/10

Bullies everyone. Over 20 games played and not one person has managed to out muscle him. I'm also using shadow, not anchor.

Passing 9/10

I've used Vidic before and every time he passed the ball, I would expect it to go to a different player. Not Smalling - his passing is decent, especially for a CB.

Overall a fantastic CB and gives most icons a run for their money despite being a quarter of the price. He completely transformed my team and I've never felt more secure at the back than with this guy. Don't sleep on this card - I would pay more than 650k.

One of the best defender in game

This central defender is one of the best i have ever played in fifa 21, his card is comparable to desailly prime,blanc etcbut they also cost 2 million coins more

Smalldini from Manchester

He is actually so good in game. i have him paired with Varane, both untradeable players i packed from 81+ upgrades. i thought Varane was the best CB in game that i had used but after getting Smalldini i was wrong. he is literally Varane but better and bigger, i feel bad for the people ill play online, he is so OP and he may even get more OP with an upgrade. being 6'4 he gets onto corner...

Monster for price

Smalldini indeed, dude is a monster tackler. He's not meta but definitely a must have with a Serie A team.
