FIFA 21 Rúben Santos Gato Alves Dias TOTS

Player Review

94 - TOTS

5.0

He eats strikers for lunch

By kehee, 01-05-2021

As I packed TOTS Ederson and had to somehow link Renato Sanches with my PL/Icon Squad, Ruben Dias TOTS was the perfect fit. I am sick and tired of the fullback meta, and prefer to have someone physical as CB who simply destroys strikers with clean tackles. And let me tell you, that's exactly what Ruben Dias does! I am currently playing a 442 with 7 depth, and always seek to actively defend with my CBs, tackle manually and intercept balls. If you're about that playstyle as well, Ruben Dias your guy. He plays true to his stats, his pace is great with a shadow, his defending is all 99s, and his body type and physical stats make him a monster ingame. If you press tackle when he is close to the ball, he wins it, no questions asked. Funny thing is, I noticed some attackers simply collapsed to the ground when he tackled them, no foul given. That happened a lot for me in FIFA 20 with Flashback Boateng, but in FIFA 21 this didn't seem like a thing anymore - except for Ruben Dias now.

Other than that, his positioning and reactions are nice as well. In 10 games, he didn't get caught out of position so far, and he tends to autoblock a lot as soon as he is anywhere near the ball. He even got 2 Man of the match performances, which I never had for a defender before. I hope I get him in my reds, and I can only recommend you try out this beast as well!

Pace, no problems catching up to 95+ pace attackers
Transitioning if you control him, he shifts in front of attackers and destroys them
Standing and sliding tackles both really clean
Bodies even strong attackers
Easily wins headers

Although Ruben is class, Gold Varane will probably still do the job for a lot less coins

The Man City Man-Mountain

I packed this bad boy untradeable and, as I was searching for a new CB for my poor mans defense, he that came in lucky. Played 20 WL games with him, going 14-6 (very good for me), with Rúben Dias in the following back four:Ferland Mendy (Gold NIF) - Rúben Dias - Joe Gomez (Gold NIF) - James Tavernier (Headliners) - GK Ederson (Gold NIF)Starting with the bad:He is slow...

Unbelievable and worth for coins.

I played 30 wl games with him, he was actually class, very very fast, i didnt use varane this year even for one match but i think he is 3x better than varane as it's supposed to be. He wins all of the headers, his stamina is insane he can play 120 minutes easily and still can run very fast, his defensive ability is better than you think, i played against 96 R9, Toty CR7, Neymar, Mbappe but he did his job very well. If you h...

Absolute Machine!

I was so lucky that I packed Mr. Dias the day PL TOTS came out, and I was ecstatic. I am playing him in a 4-3-1-2 formation in game, where I like my fullbacks to make a lot of offensive runs past the midfield to create situations where I outnumber my opponent. This weekend I played with him for the entire weekend league, and I must say that he is an absolute monster.
