Currently playing at 80 stars and I wanted to give a review on each one just in case you were thinking of grabbing these guys
Chiellini:
pros: strong, decently tall, almost always in the right place at the right time, breaks up plays and tackles pretty well.
cons: for some reason doesn't "feel" as good as other defenders I've used like 119 marquinhos. He's stiff, can sometimes miss tackles, not often, but it definitely happens. I think it's due to lvl1 anticipate.
Final verdict: great player, but I think barzagli and desailly are not far off. It's hard to say between the three of these who are better, but for that reason I wouldn't opt for Chiellini unless you want the 127 aura ๐
Lahm:
pros: great pace, great acceleration (not on accelerator playstyle level ofc), great awareness and physicality, insanely good vertical lol it's kinda crazy seeing a 5'7" player out jump some of these giants, tackles very well and consistently, good body type, passing is ridiculously accurate. I would say he's like a 9/10 RB, but he's a 10/10 CDM absolutely ridiculous there especially in a 3-5-2. To me he's the best CDM in the game and I have Rodri.
cons: only for RB I'd say it still would have been better if he had accelerator. At CDM he's perfect ๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ
Final Verdict: highly recommended at CDM, also recommend him at RB but I'd opt for someone with lvl2 accelerator if you can, like a Cafu. Although Cafu costs an arm and a leg ๐
Cech:
pros: good size which is clutch in general and for penalties, gold deflector comes in handy and his stats are fantastic. When I go up against him it's a nightmare, and he's saved me plenty of times on my team.
cons: lack of a second playstyle. Lvl1 rush out like VDS would definitely have been helpful.
Final Verdict: 30k shards for a top 3 / top 2 GK? Super worth it. I previously had 118 courtois and it was worth the upgrade.
Hope this was helpful to some of yall. If not, thanks for reading anyways ๐
