87 - Hero
One of the best CB in the game right now. I have packed him in the beginning of Fifa 22 and have played with him over 150 games in 1-2 division and WL.
I have De Ligt RTTK with him, but you can buy any tall player, for example, Koulibaly or Škriniar in Serie A or others.
I recommend to buy him if your squad budget is more than 2 millions coins because it's the best option except icons and he is pricey.
pace
With shadow he feels quicker than any other defender in this game. He can easily catch up any striker and winger (except Mbappe in some ways).
defending
It's my favorite part. His tackles are amazing. You can stop anyone just holding LT button. With Shadow or Sentinel he is a wall.
physicality
Decent. He can push away most of strikers, but he can loose position with CR7 or Lukaku sometimes.
height
You came here for that. Yes, he is short. He can jump and easily beat strikers like Werner and Jesus or Son, for example. But when you play against CR7 or Lukaku you need to be very careful because if he is staying nearby one of the tallest strikers during a corner, mostly it's the goal. So, you need to buy tall CB as I wrote before.
First of all, sorry for my bad english, please don't roast me.
I try every single player in Serie A, and Cordoba is simply the best. He is everywhere, he runs faster than all the striker of the game (except of course for LW or RW with 95+ PAC used as ST).
Even the height is not a problem, he jumps so well and can save a lot of crosses.
He scores too from corner, even without the glitch.
- PACE: really. If you need somebody who can prevent you from a counter attack, pick him
- BEST CB IN SERIE A: and of course if you want to link somebody of the same league, maybe untradable, this is the best choice
- HEADER: despite his height, he scorse too! Trust me
- HEIGHT: Not too many strikers can beat him with header, but a cross for Cristiano is unplayable
- LINKS: as I wrote in pros, yes you can link every Seria A player. But if you want to play with Cordoba you HAVE TO use Serie A player. Try in this case him with Di Natale/Theo or Barella/Florenzi
- COST: of course he's expansive. But trust me, if you already have a good team with 500k to use and you don't know how to improve your squad, give him a chance. If you are searching for a very good CB of Serie A, cheaper than him, try Skriniar 88, second best CB in the league
I start in 5212 as a CB, this guy is really good in defend and seems like no one can pass through him. good interception and defend awareness with good agilty in CB, I have Tomori and SBC koulibaly in CB, therefore I need a agility CB would be a good choice and try it out. in defend or average form he good in defend and also passing, in attack form I put him up to CDM. he is absolutely a Serie A kante pair with the gold kessie and gold barella. I had a IF one but I sold it to buy Cordoba and seems its worth it tho. since I change him I have improve my win rate from 50% to 85%.
Pace good enough as a CB or CDM
Passing good enough as a CB or CDM
Aglity is a top level as CB, good enough as a CDM
Interception and defend awareness is top class
a little short to lose header
Ivan Cordoba, what can I say. In the almost 700 games i have with him he has performed every single time, never disappoints. He's always marking his man and he has the pace to catch up with many attackers. I use him in a partnership with Vidic. Vidic has the strength and cordoba has the pace.
Speed
Defending
Strength
Passing (underrated)
Height
So, most times I only read reviews but in every FIFA year there is only a couple of players who are really insane.
Mr. Cordoba is this kind of player.
He is always in right position, gets every ball and (auto-)tackles every Mbappe, Cantona and other types of players.
What should I say? I tried many defenders but he always comes back, actually with 500+ games in his feet.
For a price of roundabout 30k at this moment an absolute beast!
Still hope to get his upgraded card but the pace is still enough at most times.
He saved so many goals for me and in combination with Chiellini it's so much fun!
- wins every tackle
- Auto-AI for tackles
- Body-type to push away attackers from the ball
- Header Beast
- Workrates
- at this stage of the game, perhaps the speed
