This central defender is one of the best i have ever played in fifa 21, his card is comparable to desailly prime,blanc etc

but they also cost 2 million coins more 

His 88 rated card was already a seriously good centre back, but this upgrade has tipped him into an elite group of players. No doubt he is now a top 3 non icon CB in the game. Search from all defenders with 82 + pace, 70+ dribbling, 90+ defending and 90+ physical and you'll be met with Smalldini and TOTS defenders - if that doesn't say it all already, listen up.

Pace 8/10

I've played him next to Varane and they are similar pace wise. Who hasn't used Varane? Easiest comparison. Anyway, he can catch most players and didn't struggle dealing with the usual Mbappe and Neymar who appear in every single game.

Dribbling 8/10

Felt less clunky than expected. He's still a mountain, but I didn't concede because of his movement once. Don't look at his stats and decide not to try him because of this.

Defending 10/10

Cracked. That's it. That's all you need to know. Blocks and tackles anything that comes near him.

Physical 10/10

Bullies everyone. Over 20 games played and not one person has managed to out muscle him. I'm also using shadow, not anchor.

Passing 9/10

I've used Vidic before and every time he passed the ball, I would expect it to go to a different player. Not Smalling - his passing is decent, especially for a CB.

Overall a fantastic CB and gives most icons a run for their money despite being a quarter of the price. He completely transformed my team and I've never felt more secure at the back than with this guy. Don't sleep on this card - I would pay more than 650k.

He is actually so good in game. i have him paired with Varane, both untradeable players i packed from 81+ upgrades. i thought Varane was the best CB in game that i had used but after getting Smalldini i was wrong. he is literally Varane but better and bigger, i feel bad for the people ill play online, he is so OP and he may even get more OP with an upgrade. being 6'4 he gets onto corners so well and even scores

So lets just start out. I got Chris Smalling in the guaranteed what if sbc. So cant talk about value because I got him for free but hes around 600k at this point. For that price he is super worth it. Especially now that he got the upgrade is a 90 overall at this point. I would totally go get him. Hes huge at 6 foot 4. I scores lots of heading goals from corner( get outta here with your cheap short corners) Just put it on his head and he will head it in. hes also great defensively with headers. His speed 87/98 can catch pretty much anyone. He is always in the right spot and autoblock(sorry its a thing) stops alot of shots with him. The man has 98 strength so good luck bullying him out of the way.

Let's start, so I packed this guy in my guaranteed What-if pack and tried to fit him into my squad. First of all, I played him on 6 chemistry because he is really hard to link but he already was a beast. With his height of 6'4 he fits perfectly into the meta. I think he is a endgame player.

Pace 9/10

He'll be able to catch every attacker on a long distance. The only slight problem might be his acceleration but with a shadow it should be fine.

Passing 9/10

You don't need to worry about his passing, because for a defender its great.

Dribbling 8/10

Obviously with his height, his dribbling can feel a bit clunky sometimes but it's comletely fine. You may compare it to varane's.

Defending 10/10

This guy literally wins every 1-on-1 and only makes great tackles. He intercepts most passes and he's also good if you want to bully the opponent.

Physicality 10/10

He scored some headers for me and never gets pushed away from anyone. He is just a beast on the pitch, just as Vieira or van Dijk.
