88 - Premium SBC

5.0

The Great Wall of Leverkusen

By thatwasafoul, 22-03-2021

Friday morning I was talking to a friend about our squads. We were both like "I hate using Varane because makes me feel like I'm a sweat like those people who use fullbacks as CB", but considering the WL is the sweatiest mode on FIFA (and maybe one of the most in all games), I didn't see many options to occupy the position properly. Then the Bender Bros SBC comes out. I think: considering he is a German from Bayer Leverkusen, I can fit him in my squad and keep my Flashback Kroos and What IF Wendell as they already were there. Done. There I was, set to another WL.

Then this happens: he is AMAZING on the pitch. Feels like a mixture of Varane and Ramos (which I really like too, but lacks the pace against all those sweats teams), but giving me more confidence. He's a perfect pair to Prime Cannavaro, seems like one is always watching each other's backs, instead of focusing only on who they're marking. Plus, he is an absolutely unit on headers, he saved me from potential goals from crossings several times.

Bottom word: what a CB. Totally worth the investment. Varane is history now. If you can fit him in your squad, go for it.

PS: I know some you will be like "bUt WhY dOnT yOu UsE lArS aS cB iNsTeAd?" and when you break down to things that matters most to a CB, like reactions and composure, you see that it might matter more than stats like dribbling (that only seems to affect players when they're with the ball) or pace. Which, BTW, Sven also has A LOT, especially using Shadow.

Absolutely Worth Doing SBC

For those asking which Bender SBC to do, the answer is without a doubt BOTH! The question floating around the FIFA universe is why not just do Lars and play him at CB. The answer is because Lars is a RB. Play the game the way it was intended. Don't be a slave to the meta BS. This game is for fun and none of us are having our games watched by scouts ready to give us the call to the pros. Play the game and have fun. If...
