Best cheap (free) LB in game
By EdBennett, 01-12-2021

Unless you have 200k + to spend on RB Alphonso Davies or CL Robertson, he's the best LB out there


A quality all-round wingback, he's decent on the ball, has fantastic crossing and passing, really good pace and defensively he's every bit as good as Ferland Mendy or Mbabu.


Qualities


I've used him LB in a standard 4 at the back formation on balanced attack and he's really good going forward and defending, though the only thing to note is sometimes he stays in the attacking third a little too long and doesn't get back to defend in time, so perhaps stay back is better for him.


He's better than any other LB I've used, and at one point I used him as a LM in a 3-5-2 and he scored some quality goals and provides great assists. Dribbling isn't amazing, but solid enough- you're not going to take him on huge dribbling runs through defenders anyway.


Pace is great, I've used him on Shadow and Catalyst and to be honest, his defending is good enough to not need Shadow anyway, so I'd suggest Catalyst to give him Beckham-like passing.


He also has really good stamina so can run all game. Never had to sub him off


Linkability


Although relatively difficult to link, with some of the decent Portuguese league Obj players this shouldn't really be a problem


Overall


Overall, I'd definitely recommend doing this objective, since ultimately he's a quality free player- freeing up some coins to use on better attackers.
