Salomon Sambia

Sambia is a beast in the Silver Lounge. So much so that I got rid of my favourite person IRL, Hector Bellerin, to fit this card into my squad.

I am not disappointed.

Some quick background information -

I'm playing him as a RM in a 3-5-2

I am a division 5 rivals player

Stats and my Ratings:

Pace - He's quick enough. I would boost the pace with a shadow if I was playing him as a RB, but for me he's fast enough. 4.1/5

Shooting - The stats are a lie. This card has outscored my Eusebio since its debut. His shot power is unstoppable and his finishing is top tier. Maybe it's the patch, maybe it's me, maybe it's the card. I don't know and I don't care. 5/5

Passing - Passing is the stat that matters most to me, and Sambia does not disappoint. Crisp, hard pass after pass. The passes don't get intercepted unless I really try to force it. Easily the best passer I've used this game. 5/5

Dribbling - I don't dribble if I don't have to. However, when I need to dribble I haven't been let down by this card. 5* skills are fun I guess, but I don't know any 5* skills outside of the elastico and sombrero flick. 4.5/5

Defending - He's not doing all that much defending at the RM role, so I can't say much other than his interceptions are as if I am always playing on constant pressure and team press. He's everywhere in my opponents half, intercepting their stupid Inshallah through balls. What more can you ask for from a card in EA Sport's FIFA Ultimate Team 21? Zero skill metas require zero skill defensive methods. 4.8/5

Physical - Great stamina. Aggression could be higher but I really don't know what aggression does so I don't care. 4.7/5

Other Factors - His height and body type make this card super versatile. I could see him being used as a CB, a Box-to-Box CM, or maybe a secondary CDM with a maestro. Medium/Medium is the best WR combination for any player in the midfield IMO, and that's a reason I love this card so much.

Overall - A great card for a super affordable price. I didn't do Klaiber or Tavernier since I like Bellerin so much, so Sambia is the best RB I've used this year. 4.9/5

Very unique, very solid

Ligue 1 was in dire need of a good RB; level 30 de sciglio was a great card, but it is gonna take something insane to get most people playing to level 30; and de sciglio is just not it. This sambia card dropped and immediately caught my eye, especially for a day one price of 120k. I needed a RB to strong link lees melou, who i wanted to put back in my team, and sambia fit the system perfectly. He can play CDM, CB, FULLBACK ...
