Player Review
85 - Winter Wildcards
I am usually the type of person to check reviews before trying players by myself, but since there are none here, I had to do it on my own. And trust me, i wouldn't do it if it wasn't worth it.
He is one of the best CB i have used this year. Played him on an anchor and had just about enough pace (was faster than DiNa and Mbappe on 1v1's), his defending is brilliant, and with such a physical presence, it makes it really difficult to get past him without using top tier skills.
His passing. Oh my god. He distributes the ball really well, and he feels super agile as well, which allows you to carry the ball ahead with him in counter attacks and allows you to gain some time when you need it for build ups. As I said, his dribbling is brilliant, he moves pretty well and feels good with the ball in his feet. Only for a 100k, he is way better than typical meta CB like Kimpembe, OTW Upamecano or Marquinhos(gold). Pretty similar level to Showdown Sule (my other CB), but bit different body types, with Niakhate feeling way more agile. Surely a W card
Pace (on an anchor was decent, although I would reccomend a shadow)
Dribbling. Feels really good on the ball
Passing. Togheter with its dribbling, and if you're feeling dangerous, you could even use him as a CDM
Physical presence
Defending, bodyblocks and awareness
Shooting (although I almost scored a volley from a corner kick with him)
