96 - FOF PTG

5.0

A Promising CB (Could soon fit the meta)

By kayrovskyreviews, 14-06-2021

I was using De Ligt this Wl (Shadow CS) partnered with Lacroix Tots, Baku Tots, and Cuadrado Tots and managed Elite 2 with 32 tackles out of 41 completed. As a preliminary note, De Ligt does feel meta, especially if he gets that +2 upgrade (1 of 3 completed so far)

So, he is one stocky CB. Weight, height, and the High + Average body type is definitely present. However, not so noticeable. Prior to this card, I was using the Showdown Zagadou card with Lacroix, and I have to say, this guy felt so much better on the ball and in tackles despite Zagadou's ratings being better in comparison. De Ligt positions himself just as a CB would, very similar to VVD. His High Defensive WR does go well with his current 83 base pace as he does catch up quickly to attackers. When I say attackers, he surprisingly caught up to anybody. I realized that his long leg reach plays the crucial aid to his pace just as Varane's since September...

His agility is 67 and dribbling is 78 as of yet, so he definitely is not a quick turner by any means. However, I felt like it wasn't as stiff as lets say Zagadou SD, VVD Gold, De Vrij TOTS, Marquinhos TOTS. In fact, I felt as if he is just Varane with a different look, yeah that seems about right. He does the auto blocks very well, and his tackling animations are on point most of the time. The only issue I've had was with his physicality at times. Although he successfully tackles the opponents, sometimes you are the victim of sticky dribbling with De Ligt. But I hope that this minor issue will be sorted shortly after The Netherlands goes onto winning a few more matches (Goodluck to all, may the team that deserves wins !)

So all in all, A tough, persistent, rather quick, and well positioned CB that will probably get upgraded to minimum 96, and definitely carry your team up. And for the current price (281,000 Coins - 14.06.2021) he is just an insane bargain.

Cheap Van Dijk

I bought this card to use alongside Koulibally and have since used him with Davinson Sanchez, and Van Dijk and there is a reason he isn't the one being replaced. Although his speed isn't the best he makes up for it in agility and how light he feels without being weak. He is not easily dribbled past and always seems to be in the right place at the right time. You will think I am taking the piss but I prefer him to Van Dijk b...

Nearly the perfect CB.

What a card, what a player, what a player pick. His base card is pretty much exactly how he is (with a shadow) perfect defending, crazy strength and reasonable pace but nothing crazy pace wise, agility and balance (general dribbling) is a little low however he still has very solid composure. His skill moves is sadly only 2* so c'mon netherlands get him to a 5* 5* xD. I believe that he him getting 96 is almost guaranteed as ...

De Ligt, the dutch rock.

I picked up De Ligt quite early in the game, after having a lot of problems at the back. And Let me tell you, this man made all my problems go away. There is no hiding in the fact that I'm a Juventus supporter, but I managed to not use him in FIFA 20. With this new found pace upgrade to his name, he is simply incredible. He is incredibly stong, good with the head and incredibly fast with a shadow. I have never seen a card ...
