87 - FUT Birthday SBC

4.0

You better move, you better dance!

By edwindle, 09-03-2022

Before I get into the review I'll give a bit of background of the player I am. I am currently an Elite division player sitting at around 2000 SR and usually get Rank 3 on a regular WL.

Before I did the SBC, I was a bit worried about his work rates and reactions. A card like Teze for example would offer a similar service, while also being taller with better work rates. The main reason why I wanted to do this card is because I have 92 Gravenberch and wanted to fit him in a team with Mkhi and Tammy.

Now that I've used him for around 20 games in the Elite Division, I can say that this SBC is well worth doing. He is fast, agile, and has great defending as you'd expect when looking at his stats. He is not as automatic as the top-tier cards, but you would be foolish to expect that from a 50k SBC. When working in tandem with Flashback Varane, he has offered a nice balance. Feels strong in the tackle and is agile enough for you to feel in control of him. The price is really good as well, and when you have icons and players like Gravenberch, the links are ok.

In terms of cons, for some, his height may be a problem. Standing at 5'10 he will get beaten in the air at times, but for me having used 87 Cannavaro for the majority of the year it's not the biggest issue and certainly not when you have a larger defender beside him. His 5* skills are fun, but would have preferred the WF upgrade. His passing with his WF is quite bad and has gotten me in some bad situations. I don't see a lot of difference between him and Teze, with the latter being 20k cheaper.

Overall Verdict - Do the card if it fits your team, it's fun and is different from the usual CB combinations.

Cheap
Fast and Agile
Great defender and strong
5* skills

Passing
Height, not a problem when paired with a tall defender
Cheaper options like Teze on the market, he doesn't really differentiate himself from him

Timber :)

The first thing I can say is his agility, the man is fast as a bullet. I tried this man along side RTTF Martinez and they both did their jobs well but in my personal opinion I think players like TOTY HM Rudiger are better than timber because of the Med/ High work rates. I highly recommend Timber if you are able to link him. The SM is a plus as well.

Mbappe's nightmare

So I recently packed Timber and he looked very awesome so I decided to try him. His pace, defending and physicality is just ridiculus and he can even drible very well :D.Althouth he is pretty short, he can win header duel against much taller players cause he has 98 jumping. I even scored some header goals with him. Playing Timber kinda feels like playing Kante as CB, he's just flying aroud players like a wasp. Well y...

Just crazy

I've got to start by saying it's 100% recmmendable if you can get him. He's just fast, strong, and always there to defend, exactly what you would expect form a cb. I also felt his agression a lot, and that, combined with the 98 defending he gets with a shadow, and the 99 pace, it just makes him a crazy cb. He's also preety good at headers, he's alredy scored 3 goals in 20 games (all in ...
