86 - FUT Freeze SBC
New Freeze card and I was a bit disappointed when I saw him because he is short and I already had Kounde, but then I realized that he had very good stats and was almost like a Kante. So I decided to change him in game with Herrera RTTF. Yes he is good but it was putting him at CB or using Navas at CB, which I dont think it would be the best idea because he isn’t tall. And actually I liked Herrera RTTF, and Navas was a beast too. He felt fast because of the short and lean body, plus his strength upgrade made him actually able to body some players. And I was a bit worried because of his work rates but with stay back he didn’t go up so often, so it didn’t affect. And it’s like the third card I get almost for free because of the players I got of the 83 x 25 pack. To be exact I only spent 12k
Cheap if you have untradeables
Link with Kounde RTTF
Good passing and dribbling for a CDM
Short and Lean(feels fast)
Amazing defending
4* skills is great
He is strong now
2* wf? Not really a problem because he is a defender
Shooting could be better
Have a full La Liga squad with Aidoo and Varane at CB prior to this beast. Did the SBC for free due to having tons of untradeables from SBCs throughout the holidays, so it was cheap for me. I understand the complaint for his height, but his agility (81) and balance (84). Compare that to Varane who has agility (62) and balance (39). Basically, you miss a tackle with Varane and whoever you're playing is through on goal. Not the case with this monster. He's a gnat when it comes to defending and it's super useful when it comes to defending opponents who dribble loads, he just shifts so fast. Also, since I got him for free, got to sell my Varane for 170k, not bad that!
Plus, why do you need a massive CB? Is heading OP in Fifa 21 or something? No. Maybe corners, but again, how often do we see corners getting whipped in and someone massive flying in. And if you're still upset about his height, slap an Anchor on him and his jumping goes to 94. Dude won more headers over Haaland in my last match.....
Agility/Balance
W/ Anchor 87 strength, 88 aggression
W/ Anchor 93 interceptions, 93 standing tackle, 95 sliding tackle

When Jesus Navas was released the majority of us was disappointed, a 5’’ 8’ CB is not what we asked for, but I was really happy with this card. With my La Liga back line I was able to slot Navas in and swap with Marquinhos in game in a 4-4-2. The little wizard sat on stay back in the RCM position for 10 games of Rivals with me and I was really impressed. His small build and high agility meant he could easily dribble the ball out of difficult situations despite his low strength and find his midfield partner Witsel or his winger Bellarabi. Defensively he was sublime and if there was a stray pass by my opponent in midfield, he would cut it out and with his 93 pace with a shadow applied, could easy launch a counter attack. This card is a fantastic option for people running Marquinhos who they can swap in game with as he is absolutely cracked as a CB, however if you do not have the option to swap with a CDM who is great as a CB then just don’t do him because as a CB, he will really let you down with his height, I would also say he is slightly overpriced so make sure you can bring the cost of the SBC down with fodder in your club. Overall, I’d give this card an 7/10 and if his default position was a CDM then it would be a 9.5/10.
Pace (with a shadow applied)
Dribbling, fantastic build and great agility and balance stats
Interceptions and defending are superb
Finished his one chance really well
Default position should be a CDM but good that he isn’t for Marquinhos owners.
Height (a pro and con because it makes him so good on the ball but he isn’t winning any goal kicks)
Slightly overpriced
I thought navas was going to be in my team and just be there, invisible, but I was quite wrong. I switch him with freeze marquinhos and play him as a cdm and he chips in with so many goals while also saving me from the opponent scoring. He is literally so good, one of the best cdms in the game

This guy is a beast in midfield he feels really good on the ball because he's short and has a lean body type but trust me when i tell you he is at kante's level tbh he's not a good cb but if you have him try him out as a cdm and you won't regret>

2* wf which unless your playing a really long pass on his left foot isn't a problem
