94 - TOTS
5.0
Absolute Machine!
By EmilMJensen, 03-05-2021

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.

In the first few test games I tried to play him without a chemstyle card, and I became a bit sceptical about him, because he felt very heavy to turn around and slow compared to the likes af Mbappe, Neymar, tots Son etc. which probably was caused by his 80 acceleration... But, when I added a Shadow card to him, things started to change. He was like a completely different player. He now outruns AND outmatch them all; Mbappe, R9, Lewandowski toty, you just name the player and he got you covered, which is very essential when my fullbacks are so offensive minded.

In game Ruben Dias seems quite big, which combined with his speed, excellent tackling capabilities, great passing, good dribbling and presence in the arial space, makes him for me one of the very best defenders this year.


  • Speed
  • Passing
  • Arial capacities (both front and back)
  • Good dribbling
  • Tackling
  • Composure
  • Price
  • Without chemstyle he feels slow and clunky.
  • Most people would probably be satisfied continuing using Varane and Mendy.

He eats strikers for lunch

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 i...

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...
