Honest Varane Review

By llcooljy, 28-01-2022

Flashback Raphael Varane doesn't need any exaggerated introduction. Unless you've been under a rock since Fifa 22 was released in October 2021, you will have noticed that Varane's Gold card has been in most top Fifa player's team, and for good reason. He has all you need for a top CB. He's fast, strong and great at defending. I cant think of any recent fifa release where Varane hasn't been a top class CB for any team.

To give you an idea of whether you should complete Flashback Varane, I will try and explain in the best way possible. I did this card straight away, as I wanted to steel up by defence. I have just qualified for Elite in divisions and play FUT champs every weekend. Using Varane in this FUT champs weekend, he's been nothing short of magnificent. Of course, he is quick, he is tight to the attacker, he makes auto blocks, he's solid, he wins the ball in the air, he gets on the end of corner crosses. I was weighing up whether to use a Shadow or Anchor, and I honestly think both would be fine, but I went for Shadow in the end to make his defensive stats top notch and this player is an end game without a doubt.

You know, that you're gonna need some serious coins or fodder to get this card. He's expensive, but so a Ferrari's and for good reason, they are awesome! If you really can't afford this card, and you would have to sell the better players of your team to get him, maybe its not worthwhile. If you can afford him, or just about stretch to it, and you fancy him, he 100 percent will not let you down. Its a completely risk free SBC you know what you're getting with this card, no messing. Whilst Varane's gold card is still good enough to be in your team at any level, and will do the business, this flashback is an obvious massive upgrade. I guess the question whether to do him lies with your budget. Having the gold card is like when your a child, and the ice cream van is coming and you want that 99 with a flake, you ask your mum please and she tells you to get a choc ice out of the freezer. Gold Varane is the choc ice, its still nice to have, but your friends look at it and think "ah its just a choc ice". If you got that 99 with the flake, you know you got the banging quality that leaves your mates drooling.

Using Varane in this weekend league, playing a tough opponent, he attempts the over power chipped through ball. I am running back towards the ball with Varane and my opponent has Harry Kane. I expected the usually thing to happen, Kane bullies the defender out of the way and gets through on goal for a scoring opportunity. Varane was having none of it. He went shoulder to shoulder with Kane, plucks the ball out of the sky with his foot casually, and turns away. Kane went off to buy a hotdog!

Varane is amazing, easily the best CB i've used so far this year, which includes the usual suspects. Prime Rio, Van Dijk, Upgraded Sule, Marquinos and of course Kimpembe.

Hope you enjoy using him if you decide to get him.

Fast, Strong, Reading the Game, Autoblocking, Heading, Marking he has it all

Gameplay wise, cant think of any. He does have low balance, but i didn't notice it hampered him.

He is slightly expensive but you get what you pay for

WELCOME TO BEASTTT

As the title suggests, he is an absolute beast. Club is in the mud right now but having him has been insane. Only played a few games with him in Elite division and he has been insane. Everything that was lacking with base Varane (which wasn't much) has been pushed to the max. His acceleration and pace combined with Beast strength and defending allows him to catch up to flippin Vinicius and smack the ball off him, his auto b...

Mr Steal yo ball

As you can expect, he is the best CB in the game. The ball gravitates towards him and he instantly boosted my gameplay to new levels. He has a hidden trait called "10km legs" in which he can extend his legs to any length up to 10km to autoblock your green timed shot into an open goal, and you may as well just leave when you see him in your opponents squad. Also the only player that consistently performs on corners in this g...

Starter Review

First and foremost, I’m unsure if a 3 day usage of Varane would be useful for you FUT players thinking of getting him, so I’ll be honest with my review of him.Managed to obtain Varane through the Gold premium player pack preview, and paired him in a back 4 of Telles, Lacroix & Mukiele.
