Gimenez, cheap BEAST
BySquishyInflux21-03-2022

I used this card as it was a perfect link to my FUT Birthday Suarez and he seriously surprised me. I had been saving packs for 2 weeks ready for the Fut Fantasy Promo and ended up packing him within 3 minutes of the promo. For around 7 5k, this card is a BEAST. He will rarely lose a physical battle. He had competed against players such as: Prime Cantona, POTM Ronaldo, Flashback Griezmann and didn't seem to struggle at all. His pace was just good enough to keep up with those runs in behind, but having fast Full Backs like my Cafu aid in situations where he just sint fast enough. His interceptions are very good, and he will get in front of most attackers backing up into him. Passing from the back was never a problem. Despite this, he does lack some agility. Playing him alongside another CB with lower agility would cause a problem in situations when your Center Halves are put under pressure, I think his agility would cause problems as he wouldn't be able to turn and pass enough. I'd suggest playing him alongside more agile CB's such as Desailly or Eder Militao. (Who I switched between.)

Interceptions, Physicality, and Decent pace.

Gets tired very fast. Has enough stamina to last a game, but only just. Extra time was a killer. Agility is a little low to play alongside another clunkier CB.

Very, very solid CB
I bought him for the sole purpose to link him to my FUT Birthday Suarez and he ended up being way better than I expected. He's not the tallest centre back ever but he somehow just feels tall and blocks everything and is quite fast to go along with that. I'm writing this review before this card got any upgrades and he's unreal right now, I can't wait to see him upgraded. I've been using him in elite rivals and qualifying for c...
