Brazilian Shaw

By vaughanfc, 23-02-2022

After a WL and a couple of Div 1 games with him it is only fair to say he is a decent and high tier left back but there are also better LB's defensively. He is better than RTTK Lodi but no where near the class of mid/prime Roberto Carlos. After 30 games his record was 2g/8a.

I feel he was always caught out of position due to the work rates and low agility/balance. His defensive stats are a bit concerning but upgrades and chem styles can make up for the lack of physical and tackling. He will struggle against high tier dribble cards due to his A/B being fair but can get crucial tackles or interceptions late game to help seal it. His pace was decent and noticeable on retrieving back on corners. His WF is sometimes harmful especially when the opponent is team pressing so be prepared to get it out quick during those situations, outside foot trait can sometimes help but not always. (See pros/cons for full review)

If you missed out on Luke Shaw I would say he is fairly similar but with better passing which in this current meta is crucial to just ping long balls on counters. But overall 8.9/10 would be fair to price him at around 175-200k but UCL hype has him inflated so fair dues. The upgrade will really help his card and lets hope they pull through!

If you are looking for a solid ball playing LB from the prem or brazil, I recommend him as your go to guy atm. He isn't an auto defender so keep in mind he wont be as mobile or responsive for getting back into action but a good back line will help you flourish with him.

His strong links are : SD Bailly, FB Varane, IF Gabriel, Baby Capita

Soft Links: SS Diego carlos, ANU Militao, TOTY Marq, FS Ibanez, M Luiz Felipe, TotyN rudiger, etc.

Cheaper Alternatives:

WW Tierny, IF Alba, Ferland Mendy, Fire Schulz

Best Premier League LB In my opinion
Great links
Direct Early crosses and good crossing under pressure
Good long pass and long through ball accuracy
Nice traits for a get forward wing back
Good long shots for a defender
Can be alternated to cdm if better suited
Free kicks
Good interceptions
Decent Left Stick dribbler

Considerably weak in some instances
Agility and balance
2* weak foot / 3* Skill moves
Not the best defensive ai
loses 50/50s often
Work rates if not on stay back
