87 - Europa League SBC
3.0
Kostic is a Clown
By Kobajai, 29-10-2021

Filip Kostic looked like a great cheap SBC for good value, but when used in-game he was not up to standard. Although having 90 paces, he seems slow and can't outrun defenders such as Van Dijk, Varane or Lacroix. I played him as a box to box LM, as his defending stats didn't seem too bad, but every time he'd win the ball he immediately loses it as he has low balance and agility. His right side that he was defending was always open to counterattack, as when the play shifted he was always very slow to turn and accelerate to where he need be. Overall Kostic was a card that after 8 games I got fed up with and swapped him out for Kingsley Coman.


Pace- Stats seem fine, but in-game he feels really slow to use


Shooting- His long shots and shot power mean he is actually decent in the long-range. His finishing and composure mean that if he is in the position to shoot he can finish, the problem is that his always late to arrive in those positions.


Passing- His passing is sub-par, with easy passes to strikers, centrebacks and cdms being played too short or in the wrong direction. His crossing, however, is incredible, linking up with Karim the Dream with his 94 crossing.


Dribbling- Ball control is fine, being able to control the ball and bring it down. Only problem is that with 3 star skills, 80 agility and 82 Balance, his card easily loses the ball in 1 on 1 scenarios.


Defending- For a left mid his defending is actually decent, and if you needed a defensive lm then he could work with a shadow.


Physicality- His Stamina is amazing, problem is that his speed to attack and defend doesn't match it. Average aggression and strength means that majority of the time he will not win a shoulder to shoulder.

  • Great Crossing
  • Fast when no one is around him
  • High attacking and defensive workrates with 91 stamina
  • Low balance and Agility
  • Can only really score if the keeper is having a seizure
  • 3 star skills mean can't perform in a 1 on 1 scenario
  • 2 star weak foot makes cutting in and shooting with the right impossible
  • Literally only links to Bundesliga players
  • Cannot switch the play
  • Movement reminds me of a used Honda

Cheap serbian mad lad

Kostic is a very underrated player irl (just look at his goal against Bayern this season)and has been a very consistent player in his years as a Frankfurt player, even being one of the top players in the league. However, we all know his quality doen't necessraily transpire in Fifa. Someone looking at this card with 3 star skills and 2 star weak foot will legit be repulsed and horrified. But when you think about what this ca...

Best box to box LM

First of all I have to play this guy as a big Eintracht Frankfurt fan. I played 89 games (most games in WL and some games in Div 1-2) and he scored 21 goals and did 39 assists. I play him with basic as a box to box LM in 3-4-2-1 formation. He is one of the best player is used this FIFA and is op as fuck paired with Sane TOTGS infront of him and Haller...
