Very good upgrade for Golowin Freeze

By Delarge, 27-03-2021

Hello everyone

Yesterday I packed Sambia. I've been using Golowin Freeze since around Christmas and was always satisfied with him. But this card is another level comparing to Golowin. I left out James for the comparisons.

I used this player now for 16 games. 12 Rivals (DIV 1) and 4 WL Games playing him 4 games each on RB, CB, CDM, B2B. I also used Dest/Mbabu and Tavernier on Co-op or playing on friends accounts.

Positions: Probably best as a FB, CDM or CB. U can use him as a B2B despite his WRs. But in this case i would probably use Engine, but of course Sanches Inform or Cucurella 87 feel better on this position. Mostly played in 4-4-2 (2), 4-2-3-1 and 4-1-2-1-2 (2)

Chemical style: I was thinking between Anchor and Shadow, but eventually decided for Anchor to push his agressivity. I switched to Engine at B2B.

Pace: 92 Acceleration and 99 Sprint Speed is fair enough in this state of game.

Work rates: He has Med/Med. Comparing to Golowin the only thing where I would rank Golowin higher than him, whose positioning is better. But it doesn't feel like a game changer or that Sambia is always out of position at all. He just doesn't run the lines as maybe Dest, Tavernier and Mbabu do, if u use Full backs to join for the attacks, but it's good enough. And u can tap L1. I priortize FB defensively, so no problem for me at all.

Physis and Defending: In comparison with Golowin he lacks a bit of agressivity, where as the other lacks with strength. U can easily solve the problem with an Anchor. 91 stamina is enough for the whole game. Of course Mbabu and Dest are again above him in these criteria, but he can compete with Tavernier HL.

Dribbling: Despite his size, he doesn't feel extremly clunky on the ball. Of course he's not as agile as for example Dest. But it's good enough. But Dest cost almost 4 times his price. And 5* skills are always an advantage.

Shooting and Passing: I was suprised at his Free kicks and Headers. He is close to the Free kicks of Roberto Carlos and can undoubtedly replace him if needed. His long shots are decent, but overall he beats Mbabu, Golowin and Dest by far at shooting, Tavernier might be a bit better at this except for FK. Passing: Dest is another level of course, but I didn't have anything to complain. 4* WF helps him out with that. As I said I used him as a B2B with engine too. He can play it, but ofc he is better in defensive minded positions.

Links: Comparing to Tavernier, Mbabu or Dest, he brings more options to link, which is really good.

Conclusion:

For the prize of slightly over 100k, you will barely find a better RB, who is really versatile for Defense and CDM/B2B. For me for the prize it's a better value than Mbabu, Dest, who are outstanding cards. Probably I will give him a 9/10 and keep him.

I hope my English is understandable since it's not my first language.

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 ...

I packed him from div rival rewards and i wanted to have some fun on the game so i tried him. He played CM next to Neves in a 4-4-2 formation and he's just everywhere. Great at defending with great passing and scoring isn't a problem for him. I used anchor but ill try gladiator next. If you need someone who can do everything... he is your man.
