Chiellini the machine
By Willoughby63, 03-10-2021

In previous editions of FIFA, Chiellini's lack of high level pace has hampered him, preventing him from ever being a fixture in top teams on FUT. However, this year is different. The more balanced, slower gameplay places greater emphasis upon the defensive abilities of centre backs. Provided, pace is still a part of the game, so he requires a shadow to be truly effective, but he has shone in a centre back partnership with Diego Carlos, the pair conceding just 14 goals in my first 10 games of Rivals, and featuring 6 clean sheets within that.

Tackling - He wins quite literally every challenge he makes.

Positioning - It is incredibly rare to see players find space in behind him, as he always seems to be in the right place at the right time.

Strength - Regularly wins shoulder to shoulder battles, even against stronger attackers such as Lukaku and Kane.

Price - Even with a Shadow he costs in the region of 7k at the time of writing, an absolute bargain for someone of his quality.

Aerial threat - He has scored 2 goals from corners in 10 games, despite not being my go to attacking threat.

Links - There are many bargains to be had in the Serie A.

Pace - Much less of an issue than in previous games, but he does still require a shadow to get him where he needs to be.

Passing - Absolutely fine if you want to play short passes or a long ball to an open man, but isn't going to make frequent killer balls for you.
