I packed him and later I packed Trippier too. I tried them and James destoyed Trippy, I felt him faster and physically superior, he makes good passes and sometimes he could be used to make an skill. I didn't tryed him at MCD, but it looks good. At RB, if you can put him into your team, make it. Good luck :D

Not your RB...

I've had Reece James coming out of a "little" pack with just 2 rare gold players, so I was pretty lucky.

I was thrilled when seeing this guy, because at the moment I'm on a tight budget and I thought he would be a massive upgrade in my RB department.

When looking at his stats, I thought he would combine the pros of my last two RBs.

The pace and agility of WC Frimpong and the strength of Showdown Meunier.

That's why I revised my team and bought TOTY Koulibaly and did FB Havertz to fit Reece James (with Shadow chem-style) into my team.


Boy was I wrong...

It's the complete opposite of my expectations, because he combines the cons of both cards mentioned above.

He feels as clunky as Meunier and as weak and short as Frimpong.


Long story short: don't buy him for whatever the price may be!

  • Defending: sliding and standing tackling are superb
  • Crossing: he did initiate many chances with exact crosses
  • Workrates: high/high is perfect for my playing style
  • Agility: can't turn at all
  • Height & Jumping: lost ALL duels for headers
  • Acceleration: very bad, even if it sais 96 with Shadow-chem (even got outpaced by 89 John Barnes several times during one game!)
