Player Review
86 - Icon
I Can't be the only one who thought of using him as a CB right!
So for me it was between him and baby Petit. I tried Petitt first and wanted to give Puyol a go too!
The following review is based on 20+ games played in div 2 and 1
he starts as a RB with a shadow with 10 chem , but in game i switch him with Ferland Mendy who i play with 7 chem as a cb.
Pace 8/10 : He just doesn't feel 86 pace with shadow to me! still pretty quick tho! he definitely feels like 80 pace
passing 5/10 : he misplaced a few , nothing too bad tho, hes just not a great passer, keep it simple with him
Dribbling N/A : agility and balance in no was had a bad effect on him, jockey speed and direction change was on pint with him! Reactions tho was a huge Pro! i didn't get that with Petit! those crazy AI blocks and reaction interceptions! Crazy good!
Defending 9/10 : With shadow its pretty much maxed out. everything in this department felt Elite with him! Amazing tackling animations and lovely positioning and awareness.
Physical 10/10 : he just has a invisible bubble around him , like Van Dijk , opponent walks anywhere near hem he just paralyses them you know. no one is winning a shoulder to shoulder battle with him.
Overall, Is he worth it? Yes he is
Is he Better that Petit as a CB? YES, so much better
Is he Going to Stop R9 and Eusebio? No , you gotta realize you get what you pay for! at this stage i had no problems to stop Cr7 , Neymar , Mane , Rashford type of players and that for me is HUGE! But you need to understand hes not a Elite META player. If Diego Carlos got like 3-4 informs , this is how he is gonna feel like! still No Maldini!
Pace i guess
Reactions
Interceptions
AI blocks
Tackling animation
absolute Beast physically
He plays for the badge
Just The fact that you have to change his position to CB
"Height was not a con"
