90 - TOTS Obj
4.0
THE MAESTRO (kimpembe)
By HobzBizZejt, 30-05-2021

When this card released, I knew straight away that I would complete it. I was looking for a French cb on a very tight budget so this card was perfect and went straight into my team. I played him in a 5212 formation with tots moments digne and what if mbabu as the wingbacks, future stars todibo as the central cb and tots kimpembe and showdown zagadou as the side cb's. Below is an a more in-depth review.


PACE (8/10)

With a shadow his pace is more than goo enough and can catch up to almost any attacker. He feels slightly clunky when dribbling but on the whole very good pace.


SHOOTING (6/10)

Not important, but his height, strength and heading accuracy makes him a presence in corners and set pieces and might able to get on the end of a few crosses.


PASSING (9/10)

His passing makes a real difference. Having been using varane before him, a big difference is seen between their passing. Dont be fooled by the 78 passing stat on his card, the important stats are high enough. I dont really skill much or just shoot the ball up to reach one of my strikers when the ball is in my half, but instead i play out from the back. His passing really helped and got me out of a lot of high pressure situations.


DRIBBLING (7/10)

Not the most important because i dont really dribble with my cb's, but he did feel slightly clunky especially when i used him as a ball carrier. I feel players like showdown zagadou do a better job and getting the ball out of the back but he overall not bad dribbling.


DEFENDING (9/10)

Obviously this is where the card shines. His defending is exceptional, he makes all the good tackles and blocks. Positioning was quite good and his defending in general was very good. I do think there better cb's but he does a very good job.


PHYSICALITY (9/10)

His strength and aggression make him a real force and i often see him getting the ball by using his strength to push them of the ball.


VALUE FOR TIME (5/10)

Even though the card is free it can never be too easy to get a card like this. The objectives arent too difficult but whilst completing him nobody ever did golden goal, even though i did every time i conceded first. Only like 1 person in 20 matches forfeited first and i had to play most of the matches till the end.I suggest completing him only if he is your best option or because you are on a tight budget. If you have loads of coins/fodder just do someone else and dont do him if yuo are going to use him as fodder because it would be a waste of time. Having said that hes still a very good cb and he takes from about 1 hour 30 minutes till 3 hours to complete.

Better than a full back

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 st...

Absolute unit

Got him in my red picks and was buzzing. Tried him in a few div rivals games and he stops most players. Barges cr7 out the way, much much better than varane.Very strong and fast so poggers

Got Him Red And He Is Great!

At 100k This 84 Kimpembe is a really good value card. He reminds me of a taller Kimpembe but brings better passing and physical, being a little bit slower it is important to pair him with someone a little quicker but i love this card. I got him in my red picks this week and i am really impressed. He is good on the ball and is very strong all good attributes to a cb this year.
