Player Review
94 - TOTS
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.
