Geezer.

By thejaydogg, 30-09-2023

Reinildo is a proper geezer. A woman pleaser. Beers in the freezer. Honestly, this guy is easily the best centre half I've tried so far, despite it only being a secondary position - and believe me, I've been through a lot of centre halves. A LOT. Defending is much more difficult on this game, and no matter who I've tried, I've felt short-changed. Puyol, Hierro, Militao, Araujo, Rudiger - the most prominent of names that have disappointed me.

In one last desperate attempt to find a centre half I could depend on, I whacked on Futbin filters for the playstyles Block, Bruiser and Anticipate, and up popped only two viable options - Van Dijk, who was too expensive and wouldn't fit in for chemistry, or this absolute geezer.

All I need to say, is I can't WAIT to try Big Virg if Reinildo's anything to go by. Holy. His pace is fantastic but what clearly sets him apart from the aforementioned disappointers are the combination of defensive traits. This geezer is absolutely phenomenal. He'll smash into attackers with no issue despite only possessing 75 strength thanks to the bruiser playstyle, and he'll nick the ball from them cleanly thanks to anticipate. And even then, if your opponent somehow evades the bruising smash this geezer is quick enough to recover and extend his 5''11' frame to cover thanks to his block playstyle.

Considering I paid 750 coins for this geezer, I genuinely don't think you'll find a better defender on the game for 100x his price. Unbelieveable. Hidden gem.

Fantastic defending

Quick

Strong thanks to bruiser

Good on the ball

Agile for a centre half

Can cover at left back (why on earth would you need to do this? Sub on a different full back)

3 star weak foot (I'm really having to be picky here)

Long passing could be better
