Player Review
94 - TOTS
Hello and welcome to my review!
TOTS is here and we have some very good cards out already. Laporte fit right into my team and I was lucky enough to pick him up for 495k in the initial panic 20 mins after release as I thought that was cheap for a card with those links and stats.
I've played about 15 games in Div 1 (usually Elite but reset) so far and can tell you he is very good and consistent.
PACE
90 pace on a CB is just cheating! Do not worry about 84 ACC, with Shadow the man is like a raging Spanish bull with turbochargers.
He can catch up to the really quick players when they are dribbling past and Laporte has space to run off the ball.
He obviously can't zip around the pitch like Headliners Vini or FUT Fantasy Moura but no CB in the game can.
PASSING AND DRIBBLING
I do not use my CBs to build up the play, just make tackles and pass out to the midfield and Laporte is more than capable of making those passes under pressure and carrying the ball when needed.
DEFENDING
The animations on this guy are crazy.
The standing tackle is so so good like you just have to be in the general vicinity of the ball and he will hook his leg round like an anchor and take the ball cleanly. His legs seem so long maybe he has borrowed them from Lord Crouch.
He always takes up great positions and he bullies all the attackers.
PHYSICAL
As strong as a hungry Hippo taking what is his (the football) away from the opposition
88 Stamina is a massive bonus.
Wins all the headers.
CONCLUSION
He must be one of the best CBs in the game up there with PIM Maldini and FB Varane. If you can pick him up for less than 600k you are laughing all the way to the bank.
Great links and with Prem TOTS on the horizon he will partner up with all the top boys from that.
