91 - Headliners

3.0

Underwhelming

By sp4rry, 15-01-2022

I was lucky enough to get this guy out of the 85+ pack, and based on the online nickname "Kouli-daddy" I was psyched to use him. However from the first game it was clear that this man is overpriced as hell and really not all he's cracked up to be. While he does have some of the best defending ability in the game, this is where the niceties stop. Main problem with him is his agility + balance. I'm not usually too concerned with these stats, but jesus this man is clunky. Turning takes 5-7 business days and his passing is appalling. Whenever he has the ball there's a 50/50 chance he'll just give it away. Further, his running style means his head is down, making him seemingly weaker and slower. Forwards with 90+ pace and some strength can effortlessly fly by him. Another niche criticism is his heading accuracy. This guy can not get his head over the ball from a corner, and as such all of his headers fly over the bar. In conclusion, this card is more frustrating than what it's worth so I'd recommend staying well clear of this human fridge.

cracked defending
good in 1v1 vs striker

turns like an absolute truck
some of the worst passing I've seen
cannot recover from a mistake due to agility + balance
offers nothing going forward ie. cannot score a header from a corner
running style makes his physical deceptive
way overpriced
pace is not great
stamina, he tends to be finished around the 75th minute

Kalidou Koulibaly

Beast!

After playing with Varane and Lacroix, i decided to upgrade my attack and changed my defence to Koulibaly and Škriniar, which was the best decision i've ever made.He plays better than Varane for me and is an absoulute steal for just 30k!

The Great Wall of Napoli

This guy is a wall in the defense. He has perfect workrates, a very unique movement ingame, is fast and tall. Got 18 wins and 2000 points in elite division this week and a big reason why is the beast besides Niakhate in my defense.Only Con is his passing. Be careful there.

The Tank Just Got Tankier

Kouli has played way above his stats on Fifa 22 as far as I am concerned. Good dribbling, better passing than the card suggests (although still poor) combined with the great defending, outstanding physicals and top tier pace for CB's at this stage of the game. This upgrade is not absolutely crazy, but the best way I can describe it is that it is like his 'bully' style in game has been refined, so it is more controlled aggre...
