91 - Flashback SBC

2.5

Currently worse than 86 Centurion Kimpepe

By UsernameUnavailabe, 27-05-2023

The card is a hot mess.

So far I tried him with both Anchor and Shadow over the span of 10 games in Rivals and WL qualifiers,

As a controlled card he is very slow and you can feel immediately that there is something seriously wrong with him. I have no idea what EA was thinking giving him that 1 more agility than what he needed to become lengthy by default. I will not comment on the controlled version any more he is not worth it period.

As a lengthy card he behaves better on the pitch but you can feel he is not faster than his 86 version of him.

His animations are not anything worth mentioning he feels like the average fodder defender, he doesn't make his presence noticed in the defense. In other words, he doesn't "bite" like fb Ramos, fb Laporte or tots Ake, tots Marquinhos, tots Militao etc.

His positioning is mostly decent, a few mistakes here and there but mostly decent

Aerial presence and strength are solid but nothing to be hyped about.

I would dare to comment that he reminds me the early days of fb Ramos, when everyone was complaining about Ramos lack of sprint speed and his inability to track back and chase fast attackers, until EA buffed him to the point he became the most meta defender. The difference is that Ramos back then was a monster defensively even if he was slow to chase back, unlike Kimpempe who seems like a kitty cat in comparison.

Final verdict

He is very expensive and if EA doesn't buff him good like they did with fb Ramos, he is not really worth the 500k crafting. Better buy a Centurion for 100k.

Lets hope they do buff him cause there is too much hype around this player and the links he provides.

For comparison i play Div1 but usually only get my 8 wins. And hit 14-16 wins in the WL. So not an elite player, but average enough.I thought the Maestro, is a good way to link up my Mbappe. And also the stats look incredible. If you compare him with Varane for example, Presnel got 60 more ingame stats, including:-better passing -overall better dribbling-slightly better defending-way bette...

Wow...Wow...Wowwwwwwwwwwww... This card competes with flashback Ramos, this card competes with Lucio and TOTY VVD. I used an anchor chem style on him and made him lengthy, let me tell you this card could be the only defender in your backline and he would gift you clean sheets. his heading ability... fantastic, his dribbling...great for a center back, his passing...opens up your counter attack. Carried me to 16 wins in weeke...

Pray well Kimpembeast

I'm going to make it short so you don't waste time to buy this king. As previous years, this guy does not joke AT ALL. First he has the native "lenghty" course type, which is very OP this year, so you can slap a shadow on him to be able to catch up even Mbappe (not joking). He is pretty good on the ball even if he is not as agile as Kounde or Militao and he has a high quality for passing the ball. To my mind he his clearly ...
