Player Review
90 - TOTS
I was kind of surprised to see him in, but as an Ajax fan I had to buy him, even though I could've waited for the price to drop. But, I digress. This item is really insane for its price! He has great pace, great agility, balance, reactions, composure and good defending stats. His physicals are to a good standard but they do get boosted a lot with the anchor chemistry style (the +10 on strength is really important). He can put in a good tackle or two and he's great on the turn, so he can defend well against good dribblers. He has a great cross as long as it's done with his stronger foot. Short passing is top-notch. The only minor negatives are the 2* weak foot, the height and the fact due to his height sometimes he feels a bit weaker, but this is rarely. I liked this card and it's a no brainer if you use Showdown Neres. Also his dynamic image is really nice. If you can afford him and you can fit him in your team, I'd suggest trying him out over the usual players you use on LB since he's really good!
* His pace is insane, his height, agility and balance help massively
* His defending is really good
* His agility is great so he's great on the turn, helping him defend against agile dribblers
* His price is not too bad considering it's a really good item
* His dynamic image is really cool
* He is short so he most likely will lose headers even though his jumping is really good, but this isn't a big issue
* 2* weak foot isn't great but not the end of the world
* Very rarely he might feel a bit weak especially against a strong attacker, but mostly he's really aggressive so it's not a big issue
* His shooting is bad, but you don't need this as a left back. Wouldn't use him as a LM/LW though
* Maybe his linkability
