Player Review
88 - TOTY Honourable Ment
You read the title. There's not really much to say about him. This guy is by far the best CB I've used this year (and I thought no one would be better than Kimpembe).
First of all, his defending. If he gets close to the opponent player, there's no other way around: the ball is his. He can easily intercept balls and even skilled players trying to trick you with glitched skill moves can't get past him. He's also always very composed and his reactions are out of this world.
I'd also like to talk about his dribbling. When you're playing against top tier players, sometimes you'll struggle with the press and eventually not find unmarked players to pass the ball. In that case, he does a very good job on getting out of the press by himself with his agility and ball control. That's a gamechanger!
Defending - The stats speak for themselves really. 99 interceptions, standing and sliding tackle. This guy is ridiculous. 10/10
Dribbling - Gamechanging attribute, as I said before. Also his reactions make it very easy to switch sides and avoid getting screwed by the striker turning left and right (I hope you know what I mean). 10/10
Pace - You just don't have to worry about it. He can catch up strikers very easily.
Passing - With his 88 short passing, you can easily start the build-up play and not worry about missing a pass. 9/10 (for a CB)
Physicality - Honestly it didn't let me down at all. Amazing jumping, perfect for crosses and corners. Also he didn't lose any standing tackle, doesn't matter how strong the striker is. 9/10
Value for coins - I legit think he's the best CB in the game aside from TOTY Marquinhos. 300k is VERY cheap for him.
I would say the only let down is the stamina. I play on balanced instructions and he still gets to a yellow bar by the end of the 90 minutes. Which isn't that bad... unless you go to extra time.
