Ledley King - God of defence

By EggyBreakfasst, 19-12-2023

Honestly, I don't understand why people hate this card so much!

First time writing a review, but this card stands out in my team, I have to share my thoughts!

Ledley King has this anticipate plus playstyle, I know a lot of players have that as well, but I don't know why, his stand tackling is way better than other players like Mapi Leon and Ruben Dias. Everytime someone attacks forward, King will catch up and tackle him and successfully steal the ball incredibly. Almost nobody could pass through King if he is on the defence line, and also. King's pace is not bad either, he could easily catchup low pace strikers such as Lewandowski and Harry Kane. I don't know why he's worth 50k only but his performance on my match is absolutely unbelievable.

Another thing is that, a 5-at-the-back defence formation is the best if you want to use this card. His staying central ability keeps him on the defensive line and blocks almost any attacks. In my games, I usually put the wing backs to where the midfield positions are, and the two center backs beside King will be a bit forward than King. That way, those two defenders can first try to defend and then let King finish it off, it creates layers of defending which is nice to see.

His stand tackle ability is just seriously amazing
He can run, to catch up some slow strikers
He is super cheap
He can stay central and concentrate on the ball

5. His passing is not bad either

He is definitely not the type of person to slide tackle
If you're facing pacey opponents, you're basically dead
He may sometimes header the ball incorrectly
His shooting is terrible (For some reason if you want to shoot with him)
Give him some teamates! He will be "lonely" if he stay on the backline himselves!
