Player Review

It's an absolute crime that this card is currently 1200 coins on xbox. I put a catalyst on him (just because I think the defensive boost from shadow doesn't make a noticeable difference) and I can wholeheartedly say that he performs at the level of top cards like Varane or Van Dijk. I've yet to replace him, and I don't plan to, I can't recommend this card enough.

Absolutely solid backline CB. He is a must have for any starter, or maybe even ANY Serie A team!

You may look at his passing and feel reluctant to buy him, but really, I haven't got a single bad pass with him in like 10 games (as in error passes, not my terrible gameplay). He also seems to have low agility, but I say: "Embrace it!" Not every player is perfect, but he's damn close!

I play him as right CB in a 4-1-2-1-2 narrow. I use him on the right unlike Kjaer, since he has better passing. I also use Sentinel on him, 81 pace is more than enough personally. An Anchor is also good, but I wouldn't suggest Shadow, you need the strength and jumping for him.

I don't use any special instructions with him, as he has L/W workrate anyway.
