85 - Winter Wildcards

Disappointing for the value
By Pestilence, 19-12-2021

When the team got released, I instantly headed over to Niakhate's card. Due to leaks, we obviously knew he was going to be in the team, and while it's unfortunate, I was still extremely happy to see him there. I was looking for a French CB, preferably left footed, and since there were none, I knew he had to come into my team. His card had it all, good pace, defending and physicals, then he also had decent dribbling and fantastic passing. He was a must for me, so I decided to use him in a back 3 alongside Pique and Mukiele RTTK. As well as in a back 4 with him being placed at LCB.



All in all, I was very disappointed in the card, he was quite literally the perfect CB for me based on stats, and his traits such as being left footed.

Strength: He was able to move players off the ball with ease in 1v1's

Passing: Phenomenal short/long passing, I loved using driven passes with him

Terrible positioning: Often found himself behind attackers

Average tackling abilities: He wasn't able to dispossess attackers on a counter without the help of Pique

Slower than advertised: 93 pace on a shadow was just a flat lie, it felt more like 89, he couldn't catch up to anyone half quick

Best Bundesliga CB? BEAST

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...

NiaKante

I got him from my 82 +x25 pack thanks to my luck nkunku potm was available and linked him with this beast.He was playing in Marquinhos which I was in love. But no regrets man. Not the hero I wanted but the hero I needed. No matter who he is defending against he just puts his body between the ball and the attacker. After that he is not turning to goalkeeper he just dribbles or makes a sol...

Great for the Value

He is the best CB I have used so far this year. His pace is solid with a shadow. His defending and Physicality are great for a defender. His passing is good for a CB.
