Insane Cb

By JulesB19, 19-02-2022

I used Eric Bailly for 23 games of Weekend league and he was an absolute rock at the back next to flashback Varane. Eric Bailly in the 23 games was spot on and he made no individual mistakes for any of the goals I conceded. Also with the chance he can get upgraded he is a must do for a prem team or if you have flashback varane and de gea.

Tackling: Eric Bailly wins the ball almost evert time his tackling ability is very consistent and he utilizes his strength very well when going in for the ball.

Jockey movement: This is my favorite part about the card Eric is extremely agile when moving side to side with the jockey movement. He is agile enough to defend the incredible left stick dribblers such as Messi and Neymar when they turn left or right. His jockeying is much more agile than a center back like flashback Varane, future stars Ndicka or Niakhate winter wildcards. He partners very well with a less agile center back physical oriented like showdown Sule or flashback Varane.

Strength: Bailly is ridiculously strong when tackling but also when running with a attacker. When shoulder to shoulder he easily pushes almost every attacker off the ball.

Pace: Eric Bailly's recovery pace is very good he can catch up to almost every attacker I played against this weekend league.

Acceleration: Even though Eric Bailly's pace is very good his acceleration can sometimes hinder him when mbappe or a attacker of that nature gets through the defense. But it is not a big issue because his recovery pace and sprint speed makes up for it. Also with a upgrade his acceleration could be completely fixed.

Stamina: I did not notice Eric Bailly's stamina that much but if you go into extra time it could be an issue if he does not run as quickly as the first half especially if your opponent subs on 90+ pace super subs. I would suggest having a cb or full back sub on the bench just incase Eric Bailly's stamina is a big issue

Best Irish CB

The Ivorian himself. It's not ideal, but I thought I'll play a few games if I can, as you don't have long to complete him, and it gives people an idea if he is usable at least. Rocked this dude at rcb in Elite, floating around the 1800-1900 points range. Generally have had nothing to fault, so far I've loved him, and this is without an upgrade, which is massive with showdown cards.

Eric Bailly

Superb CB!

Very composed with great pace with a possible +2 upgrade which makes it even better! Can catch up with almost all forwards when playing with a high line because of his pace, but his long passing can let you down at times if your playing style includes long balls. I would recommend a catalyst chem style if you play out from the back.
