95 - Premium SBC
4.5
Love it
By stuPete, 16-06-2023

Played about 10-15 games with him in div 3 - totally satisfied. I play 4321 in-game and my LB is on "Balanced" - Jordi is the best I've tried as attacking LB (Carlos 91, Hernandez TOTS, Mendes TOTS, Balde TOTS). But I have to say, that you need good LCB and LCM to insure Jordi - I got Varane, Merino and also Saka on "Come back in defense" - so Jordi can easily join the attack.

  • Great attacking AI - you don't have to press L1 to make him support attack. Probably I haven't understood Hernandez TOTS - but I always wanted him to play higher on a pitch - there is no such problem with Alba
  • Very smooth on left-stick, good dribbling. I liked Roberto Carlos for his great runs to opp goal - but he wasn't so good on left stick as Jordi
  • Great crosses and passing - 4 star week foot makes an advantage over Carlos and Hernandez
  • Good finishing for fullback - Balde out :D
  • High/High work-rates make him run fast to defense
  • He's worse than Hernandez in defense - I realized it fast, but I don't care :) I needed attacking LB
  • Better to change him at ~65-75 minute - he's lower 70% of stamina for the moment
  • Speed is good, but Hernandez feels faster

The nasty rat!

Jordi Alba is a 5'7" tall LB with 4/4* and a high/high workrate. I play him in a 4-2-2-2 formation as my LB in Div 3 on the anchor chemistry style to give him the speed boost and to improve his defensive and physical stats.


Pace (10/10):

On anchor his speed stats are almost perfect and he is really fast ingame.


Shooting (7/10):

To be honest I don*t have many shots on goal with full-backs, but I his shooting stats are really good and I already did score with him.


Passing (10/10):

His passing is great. Short and long passes come off perfectly and his crosses are very nice, too. It is good to have full-backs with good passing stats, because when you play them on overlap they can give really valuable assists.


Dribbling (10/10):

He has very good dribbling stats and feels very responsive in left stick dribbling ingame. His ball control is very noticeable and it is hard to get him off the ball.


Defending (9/10):

On anchor his defensive stats a very high and he has very nice defensive capabilities with own defensive animations. There is one funny and very efficient animation that I noticed a lot: He often bullies attackers off the ball, where I would give a foul, but he never receives a card for this. That is why I gave the review its name. The high defensive workrate adds a big plus to his defending while this makes him jumping in a lot of defensive situations.


Physicality (9/10):

All of his defensive stats are in a very good area on the anchor chemistry style and you notice that in game a lot. No problems with stamina, jumping, strength and aggression.


Over all this card is a huge win.
