EA FC FUTGRINDER101 - Profile

CDM was called the Makalele position. This man is the definition of defensive midfielder

26.01.23

GOAT!

04.06.22

There are far too many whining entitled sods in this community!!! Enjoy the game and try out different cards you don't need to have every meta card to win or have fun!!! I got this from the TOTS, FUT BDay/Prime pack and it is not as bad as what people make it out to be!!! What about a little gratitude with what you got and maybe you will get a better pack luck from the universe!! If you really want the meta cards you pay EA money or spend a ton of time grinding the menus!! I don't have that much time to spend on this game so i buy fifa points to try and pack those dream cards.

10.04.23

$350K is a good price for this card. If you wait till after Weekend league and you have patience you can snipe one for $300-320K. He is useable and decent but not as good as say a FB Pogba or a Thuram when you come up against the sweats!!

16.04.23

Iniesta Flash Back Card Please EA!! 5*SM 5*WF!, 99 Dribbling, 99 Passing, Finese and outside footshot! Hurry up EA!!!!

02.05.22

A graceful Gazelle with his movement and passing on the pitch while kicking like a mule when he tackles an attacker

28.04.22

It baffles my mind how EA continues to hype up this guy year after year for doing absolutely nothing!! He spends the majority of his time in the physio's room or on the bench!!! EA why don't you change the name of this card to Thierry Henry because that is how his icon card should play like!!!

30.10.21

Both!! Gattuso is the enforcer CDM and Xabi as the more creative midfielder of the two. It all depends on what you are trying to do with your team.

03.04.23

LOL this is a hidden gem!! Put and anchor on him and none of the TOY, TOTY HM or TOTY Icons have gotten past him yet in weekend league!!

16.02.23

I use the engine on this card and he plays very well on the wing for me!! Very top tier finishing when you need to get a goal and very strong to hold off defenders!!

27.05.22

it is a bargain at this price it plays very well in game and great for hybrid links!!

08.03.23

Facts 100%! Hey you can still enjoy the game without all these TOTY and TOTY Icon cards!!Nothing more satisfying wining with a gold meta team against all the TOTY Meta teams owned by noobs and Div 10 sweats

25.01.23

Is this card better than WC Lucio and WC VVD??

07.05.23

He scores a ton for me!! Plays more a goal scoring cam/b2b with a Lethal long range and finese shots outside the box!! I do have to say i was surprised he feels more a box to box than a defensive mid!! I was hoping he was felt more of a defensive mid in game!! I ended up selling my KDB for $500K as he couldn't get into my team with Zambrotta as my b2b.

28.06.23

I love how he auto rushes everyone aggressively like in real life!!

05.01.23

Win Win Win!!!! Quality RB for literally nothing!! Also one of my favourite players at FB!!!

20.12.22

Anyone that likes to use the word virgns when referring to other people is usually one! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

09.03.23

LOL not even a comparison!! Baby Eusebio runs circles against TOTY defenders even now in weekend league!!

05.02.23

He never won the Premier league

16.04.23

This has to be the most incredible value meta card!! I'm ****n away by how cheap this card is!! On on the best fullbacks in the game!!!

09.04.23

Excellent card!! Got him from the 88+ pack and was surprised how clinical this card is

26.01.23

Gold Mendy is still GOAT OP on zero Chem in Weekend League!!! None of the TOTY, TOTY Mentions or TOTY Icons got past my gold Mendy in fut champs with no Chem!!! That says alot!!! Save your coins!!

11.02.23

VVD is the best and also great value!! Don't waste your coins on Koulibaly he is not better than VVD

07.01.23

This card is actually quite good!! The amount of saves during clutch moments in my Weekend league saved so many games in what i swear were sure scoring opponunities for my opponents!!! I was previously using baby Van De Saar but i have to say i'm happy i made the change to Cech. I only wish they included the helmet in this version.

30.01.23

Played him at LB, LWB, LM and B2B but this guy on the wings glides past defenders like a gazelle, puts in great crosses and has the strength and power of an OX to cut inside traffic and boss the opposition!!!! Underrated Goat!!

20.01.23

Finished 18-2 Weekend League thanks to this man mountain of a teddy bear!!

22.05.23

LOL Gold VVD is still meta post TOTY and better than any of the future stars defenders hands down. Save your coins and build to getting a TOTY VVD or the VVD World Cup Stories

05.02.23

META!!! META!! META!! Just played weekend league and left the following CBs in the dust from a stand still receiving the ball then with a little juke and hold down the sprint button!! VVD TOTY, Vidic TOTY ICON and Maldini Prime!!!! So glad i did this SBC!!!!!

13.03.23

I have Angelinho and Yes Lahm is much better!! I faced Mbappe/Jarzinho and Best this weekend league and they got shutdown each time they tried to take on my Lahm!

10.04.23

Thank you EA for making a useable Shearer card!! Why not making him 5 star 5 star and give the community a first ever Meta Shearer card!! This guy is the top goal scorer in the history of the premier league for a reason!!!

28.03.23

Disable cross play and face only opponents from your own platform. This cross platform play is slow and filled with hackers!!! I'm enjoying just playing against PS5 opponents!!

12.02.23

World Cup Hero Marquez is cracked!!! $189K

26.03.23

if it climbs up to $350-370 take a nice profit and re-buy this weekend after weekend league when it drops again around $300-320K

16.04.23

I had to laugh!! My 3 pick were Yaya Titan, this guy and Titan lucio!! I paused the game to get my phone to take a photo and little nephew someone saw the PS5 free and started clicking buttons! Guess who the little fella clicked!!

01.05.23

Easy solution. Move Puskas to CF and have 3 midfield of Marchisio, Zidane and Viera!! YOu will be bossing the midfield!

16.04.23

Hmmm I got this card from some random 2 player pack I got after completing some objective and never looked at playing him as i have a ton of CDMs like Casemiro, Brozovic, Tonali, Marchisio,Bennacer etc so it never crossed my mind to play him until the Riyad Mahrez SBC!! I'm totally ****n away by how good this card is just sitting back a playing a pure CDM role!!

08.01.23

Too many whiny **** players in this game!! Get some skills you bums I went and bought this legend and he is clinical in game!!

29.12.22

Insulting that one of the best strikers to ever play the game has an unusable card every year!! Fix this mess up EA!!

21.01.22

One of the best RB in the game!! What a bargain!!!

18.04.22

He already has a wildcard! So damn lazy EA!! WHy not a fantasy Kulusevski, Bencantur or Eric Dier or Some other player from the other premier clubs. How many versions of Salah or Mane do we need???

21.03.22

I have tried both but i think Desailly is better in game based on my style of play. They are both still very good even at this stage of the game!! Anyone who says otherwise is not very good at the game.

13.08.22

Great player always underrated!! Skillful IRL hope this card is the same in game

19.12.22

Left footed CB is sooo sooo beautiful passing from the back just like in real life football!! This card is quality!!If you guys are looking for a quality CB with prem links and is left footed this is your guy!! Damn it is great passing from the back building up play with this guy!!

14.05.23

This guys stops every meta card in the game in their tracks!! Messi TOTY, Mbappe TOTY or Even Haaland they all get stopped and nullified by a gold card with no chem!! WTH EA!!!

14.02.23

Damn still goated at this stage of the game!! Just bought him for $360K unused!! Thank you to the person who listed this card at such bargain price!!!

02.04.23

Use both as they have different attributes that complement each other!!

16.04.23

stop telling porkies

06.05.23

At $52K i thought i'd try this out with the Reyna swaps reward card and WOW what a beast!! Criminally how cheap this card is considering how great he plays in game and also stats wise!! Very smooth passer of the ball from the back and can dribble past the press with ease!!!

29.04.23

yes

28.01.23

I completed him as I was already impressed with his WC Card when I packed him earlier in the month. He is expensive but there is a reason for why he is expensive because he is excellent in game!!! He is one of the most complete balanced midfielder at the moment!! The only negative is the price!! EA are not going to give you great cards cheaply!!

16.04.23

These cards will drop to aroung $300-350K in the next few days! The extra $100-200K is all day one hype!

15.04.23

I don't know how to use this card on the wings or maybe i'm using him wrong!! He is always losing the ball in one one ones. I find Berardi and Mahrez much better out wide beating defenders. Maybe it is his size and strength. He does score a ton of goal near the box because he is always in great position to tap in.

22.01.23

TOTS is around the corner people are selling up to have liquid coins. This card is still quality if you needed a midfielder for WL or Div Rivasl!!

04.04.23

get both!!

04.04.23

Goal scoring machine that always in the correct spot to finish and nifty to maneuver in tight spaces to turn and score!!!

02.01.23

I've completed all the futballers promo players! I tried them all out and to be honest i'm not a big fan of the cards. Do i send them all into the Johan Cruyff SBC or wait for the fut birthday sbc? This is my current squad your feedback would be greatly appreciated!https://www.futbin.com/23/squad/3896119

24.03.23

no Zambrotta is better at RB!!! As a CB he is damn meta I ended up benching my Ramos for him!!!

12.04.23

LOL what did i say this card is way too low at 50K!! The stats and how it plays in game makes this a 80K-100K card!! Thank you for dumping these earlier in the week at 50K when everyone jumped off the ship when Spurs lost!! Nice profit after picking up 30 of these at 50K each!! Like Warren Buffet used to say when everyone is dumping the stock at bargain ba*****ts due to panic selling you pick up quality assets based on their fundamentals(STATS) for a killing

12.03.23

I used him at LB in weekend league and nothing gets past this guy!!

21.01.23

Excellent defender at LB!!! I contained Mbappe and Vinnie JR weekend league using Maldini at LB!!

21.01.23

No due to the inflated prices!! Yes if you are a massive Gerrard/Liverpool fan!!!Wait if you have lots of discipline and able to withstand any urges for instant self gratification! hahah hope that answers the question

15.04.23

I packed this card from some squad battle pack and wanted to use him but ended up putting him into the Sergio Ramos SBC as i ran out of fodder and coins. Based on the comments from the majority of people here i will buy him this thursday after rewards due to him having good reviews and being cheap

14.02.23

Do i send all the fut ballers into this sbc or wait till Fut Birthday/TOTS Sbcs?? This is left over squad after i submit most of the club and use the remaining 1.4m coins. Feed back appreciated.https://www.futbin.com/23/squad/3896119

24.03.23

I got this legend in my latest pack!! I thought rather than get salty over it i would compile a full squad of all my pack icons over this game cycle!! Check out the pack luck squad heading into weekend league before TOTS starts!!https://www.futbin.com/23/squad/4258671

24.04.23

Played 1300 games with this card. I keep benching him after i get wooed by some flashy new card or sbc but after a few trial runs i always end up coming back to this guy!!

22.04.23

This stats and how this card plays in game is worth minimum 100K!! Such a bargain at 65K thanks to who ever sold it to me!! LOL

08.03.23

There is nothing wrong with him !! Still scoring goals and running them TOTY and TOTY Icons defenders ragged in weekend league!!

05.02.23

On Basic during weekend league. Just tried him with CAT and he feels even better with Cat

30.01.23

Excellent LB!!

08.04.23

I have Keane and Titan Toure then packed this guy!! Do i replace Theo Hernandez TOTS with Lahm at LB???

08.04.23

I had so much fodder in my club i decided to send them all into the Kante inferno!! Very very good card to pair with Caicedo or Paulinha

10.05.23

Bargain and imo better than Saka in game

13.03.23

It is a review on what I thought about the cards when compared with what I already had in the club. Your reply is very interesting indeed. The last time I checked we are allowed to voice an opinion LOL. Based on your logic anything that doesn't agree with your world view is incompetence hahaha. Enjoy the game and have a good day

15.04.23

Him easy

09.03.23

If you want to start Carlos then sub in Maldini to secure a win OR Start Maldini and bring in Carlos to attack more. Other option is to go 3-5-2 with Carlos as wingback with Maldini, Nesta and Lucio at CB.

26.01.23

It depends!! If you are a fan of Cech then go for him as this game is about fun and Cech is good for me in WL. Yashin is the best GK in the game hands down!!

04.02.23

This card is total class as a deep lying playmaker in a double pivot next to a solid CDM! I kept pulling some damn long balls to the wingers and through balls from deep!! Very happy with the SBC

08.06.22

Get both and play 442

17.01.22

Got VVD as player pick after Champs rewards!! Now have FB Varane and TOTS VVD as my CBs for the remainder of the game. Been playing FUT for 5 years and never really got any good picks from packs rewards!! This has been the best year ever in my FUT rewards from purely playing the game.My current squad all from playing the game. Not a dime spent on futcoins!https://www.futbin.com//22/squad/7620765

09.05.22

One of the best RBs in the game!!

20.04.22

Cancelo RB is the best Prem

04.02.22

Why??? You could have used that 1Mil on TOTY Icons! LOL

08.03.23

yes if you want a more defensive FB. Hakimi if you want a more attacking FB. Or play him at LB and Hakimi at RB

30.01.23

I recalled a day or two ago i opened a pack then had to rush off to do something and only just powered on the console to discover when trying to do an SBC he was sitting in the club.At first I thought it was a loan version.

26.01.23

I have both Ramos and WC Lucio and honestly imo Ramos seems to be better in game for me. The only con is i have to sub him off at the 70min mark

19.02.23

Ballack and Xabi are nearly similar in how they play and feel in game. Can't go wrong with either one

10.04.23

Him and Sadio Mane SBC will be 3 chem each!!

04.02.23

I'm looking for a more attacking LB/LWB that is not going to break the bank! I have been using Baby Maldini for nearly a 1K games and i need more attacking LB/LWB and at the same time i don't want to spen $600-800K on a lb. Is this card good enough to last to the end of the game against upcoming TOTS /promo cards??? Advice would be greatly appreciated!!

07.04.23

Very good!!!

08.01.23

I have this guy and Kaka Prime and damn he gets bullied and runs out of gas after 45mins of play!! I will go back to Kaka!!

06.03.23

Who is the better defender in game? TOTY Cole or Roberto Carlos??

29.01.23

The correct statement is there are a lot of bad players who can't defend and doesn't matter who the keeper is if you have a ton of holes in your game!!

04.02.23

I agree!! People always blame the keeper for their ****ty defending flaws!! THis guy is magic for me in weekend league!

04.02.23

I have both but Cech seems to save my bacon a ton in weekend league!!!

04.02.23

Oh yes!! Saved my bacon so many times during weekend league in situations i swear were going to be auto goals for my opponent!! I wished they put the helmet on this version

30.01.23

Did the SBC and very happy with the amount of saves he made in Weekend League on basic. I might try out CAT!

30.01.23

Atleast you did better than me! I got baby, mid and prime vieri!! They are all going into the Ramos SBC so i guess it is a mini win

04.02.23

Easy win for you if we meet!!

04.02.23

Baby is cracked!!! I have used him for 700 games and always delivers in the most clutch moments!!!!

24.03.23

Puskas is a level or two down compared to this baby version.

05.02.23
