A pretty Ake card (well he's great)
By derpypokerface8, 21-04-2021

So I used Ake in a 4312, as a LCB, and safe to say, he was class.


Using him with a shadow, and he caught up to nearly any striker for me. He has a good acceleration stat, and it was very noticeable, because I was catching up with any Neymar or Mbappe with ease. He also got into really good positions and made a few great blocks. On defending corners, if he's in an aerial 50/50, 95% of the time he will win it, because of that 97 jumping. His passes were also very consistent out from the back.


However, on the ball, he did feel a bit clunky, so if you get the ball with him, you'll find it difficult to get past a pressing ST, so your best bet is to pass it. Also, the 3* WF is a bit of a downside, but not too big of a deal.


Do I think he's worth the price? Personally, yes, and also he has a really good chance at getting a +2, as Man City have a better chance of winning the game than Spurs.


I would recommend only to do him if you can fit him into your team, for obvious reasons, but if you can, do it!

Nathan Aké (Showdown SBC)
By odavies123, 22-04-2021

I had completed this card and played it in the 3-5-2 formation as the RCB playing next to FUT birthday ST. Juste and Prime Blanc.


Throughout playing 11 games with this card, it is very clear that this card is one of the best CB's in the game and because of this cards' pace and defensive abilities.


This card is so clinical in game getting many different tackles is and with the physicality that this card has, with the stamina and the strength of this card.


During the 11 games in which I had played with this card in Division Rivals I had scored 2 goals (Headers from corners) and this card had assisted 1 goal and this was because of the short and long passing of this card.


I really do recommend this card to anyone in need of a strong and clinical centre back. This card is so good in bad situations and with the 89 standing tackle and 88 sliding tackle, if you need to defend in the box without giving away a penalty.


If you have the money, you must go and do this SBC as its price is very reasonable and affordable for many players the game.


This card is the best CB I have used in this game and this card also has decent links as it can link to prem players and also those from the Netherlands.


As I have already said, for a centre back this card isn't the quickest but that can all be sorted with a shadow or for a bit less pace, an anchor.


The chemistry that I had used on this card for the 11 games that I had played and this is also the chemistry style that I would recommend on this card.


If you need a new CB then this is the card to get because in my opinion, this is one of the best centre backs in the game.


If I were to compare this card to a card such as Prime Icon Marcel Desailly, I would say that this card is similar to Prime Desailly or even better and this is because of the defensive stats and also the agility and balance on this card is quite a lot better than Desailly's card because you can really feel the difference in game.


A CB with good agility and balance feels insane in game and this card performs like a god in game with the high interceptions ands the Defensive Awareness.


Literally nothing gets past him when in the box and when defending outside of the box, Ake has great awareness and this means that he always gets into the correct positions.


Ake's acceleration is very good and this is good because if you were to be defending outside of the box with this card then you would be able to catch up to most players and this is also good inside of the box due to the agility on this card.


Another benefit about this card is that it could potentially be upgraded to an 89 rated card and City have a good chance of winning the game as the are currently at the top of the table.


To conclude, this card is a very, very good card and it is such a fun card because although the card might not be meta because of the pace but is is such a fun card to use and I don't play against many people who use this card. Thank you for reading.

Cracked but what about TOTS?
By PurpuleSkittle, 23-04-2021

Since I had a lot of Foddah I decided to do the sbc, cause he gave me Flashbacks of Mangerial Masterpiece. If a 79 rated card is so ggod, surely his 87 rated card will be better? Right? Correct! Ingame I played 3-5-2 and Nathan was my central defender. He stopped multipule Mbappes and Neymars however sometimes he would get a yellow card for no reason.

Great CB if you don't believe in luck
By pipespipes, 25-04-2021

I decided quite quickly to make this sbc, as I play only 1st owner cards this year and I have Walker IF and Klaiber (as RB).

Ake was the missing puzzle in my defense lineup and he's a bit better and more consistent than Akanji (which was great!). He's far better than Puyol pim and many other defenders I've tested (including gold Varane, Gomez IF etc.). He's amazing at corners - scored 3 goals in last FC and had more chances for that too.


If you don't believe you gonna pack / get CB from PL, do him.

New 89 Upgraded AKE!!! NGL, this is not ake
By ReshirexOnYT, 25-04-2021

30 games so far and OMG. He carried me to gold 3 - he is absolutely insane at everything defensively and does his job everywhere on the pitch. He can do anything you want a cb to do and he wasn't even expensive, and now im using his upgraded version it is maddd. If you didn't do him then you didn't just miss out you fuqed up, I made a video on my highlights from him over wl and yeah go watch that :).
