Versatile Early Game Beast
By jackamouk, 25-09-2021

Phenomenally versatile player for 13k (Sept 25th price). Incredible centre back early game, always great to have a left footed player to play on the left of a 2 or a 3 back, Alaba is perfect in both spots. He really needs a shadow to help his recovery speed but anchor could also work.


I actually use him as my left CM in a 4231 on stay back and he’s phenomenal - one of the first names on the team sheet. His tackling and interceptions are great - he’s always occupying the right space and get’s back to help out the back 4. He feels good on the ball and his passing does the job, he’s even chipped in with a few goals. I play him alongside Barella and they're a fantastic tandem, winning it back and keeping the ball moving.


He’s physically strong enough and the stamina hasn’t been a huge issue for me so far, even in midfield.


He’s a must have if you’re building a La Liga squad. RTFM Nick rates him over Kounde and Militao at centre back too - so he’s out performing his price.

One of the best LaLiga CB

I was really hyped when I knew this card was coming because I've been using his otw for a lot of matches and I loved him. So, as soon as he was in packs, I bought him. OMG what a CB he is.Pace 9/10By applying a shadow on him, his pace goes to 92, and you can really feel it. He can cach up players like Mbappe, Alessandrini, and some other fast af players, which is realy surprising. Just don't expect ...

Very nice well rounded player (OTW David Alaba)

I picked up this Alaba for 45k odd to use at CDM in game in a 41212, however I have also used him at CB and he is incredible in both positions, but probably better at CDM in my opinion. I've played roughly 50 games with him in the team in div 5/4. His passing and ball movement in general is phenomenal. His dribbling is good, especially for a stockier body type in game with high reactions and composure also featuring in this...

ALABA 87 OTW

I wanted to try other things, everyone play Varane-Kimpembe , and i was pretty sick with this duo in RIvals and Weekend League, and my Kimpembe was atrocious , don't know the reason, so i bought this card for 68K and i use Shadow on him to boost the pace and the defending stats as much as possible.The links are great, Mendy and Benzema FB, and i pair him with Marquinos GOLD, and just from my gameplay , Alaba it's bet...
