Player Review
90 - TOTS Obj
As much as I hate full backs at CB, I had to try it and see what the deal was and I fully understand why people do it. Having said that, I wanted to try out this card and see how it would compare. I paired Kimpembe with PIM Blanc and my oh my was I impressed.
His tackling is incredible, he always put a perfectly timed foot in. Whether I pressed tackle or held L2/LT, he won the challenge. His 96 pace, 93 strength and 97 aggression really shines in duels as he usually shrugs off the opponent running alongside him. I wasn't challenged by many aerial balls but he won those few headers with ease.
His 83 agility and 82 balance was where I thought he wouldn't be able to compete with the full back meta. But surprisingly, I didn't actually notice a difference as he felt very agile and quick on the turn. His actual on-ball dribbling was a tiny bit clunky but he' a 6'2" CB so it really doesn't matter - he was good enough on the ball for me.
As for his passing, he was amazing! I'm not the best at FIFA (particularly skill moves) so I rely on quick passing, through balls, and counter attacks. This card was CRUCIAL to so many of my goals. His ability to win the ball and quickly spread a lovely pass up the pitch made him one of the key players in my team. 92 short and 87 long passing looked really good in game.
As a whole, this Kimpembe card is fantastic. So good in fact, that he was actually one of the best rated players in my squad after each match (as a CB!). I can safely say that this card has replaced the RB I had at CB. You would have to be an absolute fool to turn down this free card. Try him out and enjoy! Cheers for reading fellas.
