Player Review

94 - TOTS

5.0

The Hero of my backline

By KingKai19, 10-05-2021

I don’t normally write reviews but I felt I had too for this card. Ruben Dias is an absolute must for a backline. I had been using his 84 since it came out in combination with John Stones 85 TOTW card. The TOTS was expected as he has been what VVD was to Liverpool a couple years ago. He is a menace to any one or thing that tries to score goals, from pacy strikers, to stronger target man style players, and more. I picked him up for my first weekend league of the year, and let me tell you he did not disappoint. With a Shadow (or Anchor) chem style he is fast enough to keep up with *most* of the speedy players in game, he does not feel like a log falling through molasses and is quite agile and balanced. His defending is something I don’t want to exaggerate, but it is hard not to, he saved me several times this weekend. From sweaty goals, challenging the likes of CR7 in the air for a header, or flat out running over a striker, he is worth every coin I spent. I don’t know about in game mechanics and the “coding" for the game but I found myself in disbelief when the TOTS Dias performed EXACTLY like he does in real life for City. There were times where an auto tackle would launch him into a block or tackle that I didn’t make, but he won the ball or stopped a certain goal every time. There is only one mistake I can recall from this weekend regarding a pass in which he promptly won the ball back and and left a crumpled CAM/ST in his wake. For people who like to play out of the back or when the opponents turn on the pressure, his 4* weak foot also saved me a couple times as well, picking up an assist along the way. As long as you can defend with your CB some of the time (and not just DM’s) he will protect your goal, your kids, your money, or anything else you need.

Defending - Icon Level IMO
Pace - With shadow chem style can keep up with most
Agility/Balance - Won’t get knocked over easily and is quite quick
4* Weak foot/Passing Ability- Not always needed but welcome
Strength/Physical ability

None that I can think of immediately.

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...
