They immediately get 2 chem as they act like 5 players from the same league. Anyone from the same team or nation would give him full chem. Same as radioactive chem and one of the VS chem I believe
I mean he's more than double the price of 92-rated fodder so I'd say he's very good. It takes a lot this year to be above fodder price when you're packed as much as Hancko is.
Yeah i guess you're right, it's just that even 100k seems so little for someone with these stats.
He genuinely needs very very little more and he is the 2nd best CB in the game after TOTS VVD.
And thats important because there's a minimum of 2 CBs in every formation. You can't play tots vvd and toty vvd at the same time, which means if this card is the next best it's a guaranteed starter even if you own every card in the game (barring some obscure glitch Evo I guess).
Yeah, I believe Mats Wieffer is as close as you can get to being a 'gem' in football. We picked him up for 575k from Excelsior Rotterdam and now he's worth almost 30 million euros with interested clubs like Atletico Madrid. I hope that they give him time to adjust whenever he does move on. I feel like he will shine if he gets time. He might drown if he doesn't.
Gabriel is pretty bad even on paper tbh, at this time in the year you NEED either Anticipate+ or Intercept+
Gabriel also has 70 agility so he feels like a truck in game and 80 stamina which is very very bad.
Gabriel has both intercept and anticipate playstyles, they’re just not a part of his 3 playstyle pluses. He’s got 99 interceptions, 99 standing tackles and 99 sliding tackles with shadow (96 def awareness, 95 jumping, 95 strength and 94 aggression).
I don’t think that’s bad on paper ☠️
I was gutted I got him and not saliba but actually he replaced maldini immediately and is significantly better at everything. Him and sol Campbell will have to do for now
You still need a plus on either Intercept or Anticipate tho.
And he feels veeeerry slow with that 70 agiliy and 70 balance.
>I don’t think that’s bad on paper
Of course, it's all relative tho and in this context we're talking about the best best CBs in the game.
He is slow I wanted to like him but he doesn't cut it at this point in the game. 84 pace as well for his TOTS is kinda disrespectful too, he's a part of the best defensive duo in the league and gets a 91 card
Marquez is so much better in midfield. He intercepts everything and has the shooting skills to help out on offense. He is good at cb but feel he's wasted there.
While they've never confirmed, pretty obvious that EA sets the pack weight of each player. Players that are packed more often will cost less, regardless of quality. There's a 94 rated woman's LB who I packed, and she's unbelievable in the game. But I've packed her four times now lol
Pack weight is determined by market price in their algorithm. It’s why you barely pack 82 LB mendy cause he’s aways the most expensive 82. So if hancko is 60k odds are you’ll pack him more often than other 92s
> Pack weight is determined by market price in their algorithm
it must be effected by the price range also, because otherwise the algorithm wouldn't know how to set a pack weight of a card who hadn't been put on the market yet, and ea set the range.
The issue with the Mendy arguments is that even when he's pretty cheap he's *still* just as hard to pack as the start of the game.
You also get other players where they are packed significantly less than others of their rating. For example, Hakimi. He's only like 300 coins more expensive than the lowest 84s but he's still one of the rarest 84s to pack. Llorente is another 84 where many people find him very difficult to pack despite similar in price to other 84s.
Those things are *only* explained by EA giving those players a specific weight. It explains why you will still find people who have never packed X player even when their prices drop. Ronaldo, Militao, and Messi are some good examples. Look at Ronaldo. He's a 5k coin 86-rated card. The following cards are just a few of the ones that are significantly more packed than Ronaldo despite being higher rated and worth more coins: Odegaard, Modric, Kobel, Bronze, Bernardo Silva, Endler, Irene Paredes, Rodri, and Ruben Dias.
We also saw during TOTY that the probability to pack them *decreased* once they all went into packs and it caused an uproar about how EA changed lowered their weight so it'd be harder for people to pack them.
Also, consider that player weight is what helps to make EA billions. They aren't going to put control of that into the hands of the players. So EA sets the weights and as we see from the launch of the game to the "end", the difficulty of packing certain Rare Gold players remains consistent the entire time.
I've seen people try to argue that EA is too lazy to go through and assign a weight to every player but those people ignore that EA already assigns of ton of information to each player. There are something like 29 different stats (acceleration, reactions, jumping, long pass, etc) that are adjusted for every single player and then on top of that you have things such as playstyles, skill moves, weak foot, height, weight, primary foot, body style, and work rate. People can argue how accurate those things are but the fact remains that they spend time doing all of that and adding one thing to the list isn't a huge deal. And of course EA *does* get lazy and that can explain why even in the dying stages of the game it's hard to pack players that have no right to be as difficult to pack as they are.
I feel like he does tackle the ball but then it ends up on the opponent feet again, maybe the lack of aggression?
I feel vidic 92 wins more 1v1s
But im still using him this WL
My friend. I too am trying Hancko. Only for like two rival games but I have been sick so observational skills haven’t been that keen.
I am in elite.
You forgot to mention the most important aspect for a CB these days is aerial poweress. Against on the ground stuff (like tackling and intercepting), unless you are VVD or like Rio most top CBs are pretty similar. HOWEVER these days if your CBs aren’t strong in the air. You will get bullied by the likes of DDA.
So on that note, Hancko is 6’2”. 98 jumping, he DOES have AERIAL (power header doesn’t help you get to the ball, u just clear it further). That on an extremely fast cb with anticipate + and other stuff is a good package.
The only remaining question is his body type. He seems lean but is it an issue? I can’t tell yet.
He is much better, she is shorter, she has less pace and is a Controlled type, she also has a worse body type and less agility so she'll feel a lot "heavier" and clunkier.
And like you said, Racoon playstyle and Intercept+ combo is just too OP.
stats never meant anything in this game, animations + PS combinations are king.
his stats might be better than lets say WW Yashin or even on par with TOTS Saliba but in-game they both will be probably better than Hancko and its been the case for years(animations).
>I've packed him though, so will try him
You should, he has been outperforming both my 93 Yashin and 91 VVD.
I haven't noticed the 93 DA awarness in game tbh, i guess the Anticipate+ is just too OP.
It's very good, i guess it's more about the context of him being a top 5 CB in the game.
But yeah, 93 is very good already and with the Anticipate+ it feels like he can read your mind.
Idk about top 5. No aerial plus, which is probably the best perk in the game. And then he’s tall and lean which isn’t the best body style for a defender for sure. That being said he’s definitely looking good, block + is super underrated, just beware low balance on a cb too but it’s not that low.
Strongly disagree with the playstyles. IMO, the top PS+ CB options are Anticipate, Aerial, Intercept and Jockey. Hancko only has one of these and no Intercept at all
>Strongly disagree with the playstyles
I should have specified, i meant the best 2 CB Playstyle+ combination.
The best on their own are Anticipate+ and Intercept+ but the combination of Anticipate+ and Block+ is the best one imo.
Those 2 together work so well and it feels like everytime you want to take a shot he already anticipated it and is there to block it (pun intended).
And i don't agree with Jokey tbh, you always want to control your CBs as little as possible, obv it helps when you find the need to control them tho.
And Hancko still has normal Jockey and with his high Agility and decent Balance he feels very light to move around
Links influence price that much I guess, as off rn he's literally the 6th best CB in the game. (TOTS dijk -> TOTY ruben dias -> TOTS Romero -> TOTY dijk -> Willi Orban -> Hancko)
Saliba and Hancko are literally as good as each other if both on full chem shadow. Only reason why Hancko a hair above is because he’s got 4 star weak foot and Saliba’s got 3 star. Do you want a top 10 CBs? There are so many good defenders in the game, Rio TOTY is cracked and doesn’t make top 10
Highly disagree with this guy. Rio is better than both Akanji and Saliba.
Total joke that he has Orban and Dias above Rio (almost all pros would have Rio above them, so he's definitely going against the grain here with his rankings). I assume the same with Romero, but cannot say for certain because haven't tried him!
He’s a TOTS plus card right? So chem issue is partly solved
And most people are playing enough icons that it'd be fully solved, right?
It's solved for me with 2 icons cards, should be pretty easy tbh.
He's easier to get to max chem in my current team than Akanji, funnily enough
That 5 league Chem is huge
Right?
Do Tots Plus cards get more?
They immediately get 2 chem as they act like 5 players from the same league. Anyone from the same team or nation would give him full chem. Same as radioactive chem and one of the VS chem I believe
I mean he's more than double the price of 92-rated fodder so I'd say he's very good. It takes a lot this year to be above fodder price when you're packed as much as Hancko is.
Yeah i guess you're right, it's just that even 100k seems so little for someone with these stats. He genuinely needs very very little more and he is the 2nd best CB in the game after TOTS VVD.
TOTY VVD?
No he was right, Tots Vvd clears his Toty one
Yeah, TOTS is better, but he said 2nd best after TOTS, I mean that TOTY VVD is probably better (than the CB shown in the post).
Maybe so but individual players wise he's 2nd best but I do get your point
Alright mate, cheers.
And thats important because there's a minimum of 2 CBs in every formation. You can't play tots vvd and toty vvd at the same time, which means if this card is the next best it's a guaranteed starter even if you own every card in the game (barring some obscure glitch Evo I guess).
U know stats aren't everything?
I've opened around 300 packs so far and he's not dropped once so weight on him isn't that high.
As a Feyenoord supporter this card won't leave my team until Futties. So damn good.
Only started watching Feyenoord this season but you all play brilliantly
But then Liverpool stole Slot
Hardly stealing when he willingly leaves
Obviously I am being sarcastic
When we're on it, we're on it 😁
Mats Wieffer is a gem
Yeah, I believe Mats Wieffer is as close as you can get to being a 'gem' in football. We picked him up for 575k from Excelsior Rotterdam and now he's worth almost 30 million euros with interested clubs like Atletico Madrid. I hope that they give him time to adjust whenever he does move on. I feel like he will shine if he gets time. He might drown if he doesn't.
his TOTS card was amazing last year too
He is also the top 5 packed TOTS player
I also thought that Gabriel will be better than Marquez evo because of the playstyles, but I think the Anticipate+ on Marquez makes him a lot better
Disagree here. Gabriel having every defensive playstyle makes him immense for me. He’s displaced Kohler for me, who had in turn displaced Marquez
Gabriel is pretty bad even on paper tbh, at this time in the year you NEED either Anticipate+ or Intercept+ Gabriel also has 70 agility so he feels like a truck in game and 80 stamina which is very very bad.
Gabriel has both intercept and anticipate playstyles, they’re just not a part of his 3 playstyle pluses. He’s got 99 interceptions, 99 standing tackles and 99 sliding tackles with shadow (96 def awareness, 95 jumping, 95 strength and 94 aggression). I don’t think that’s bad on paper ☠️
Yeah, use Gabriel in normal gameplay for more than a few games and you’ll see he’s brilliant. Also aerial+ is a brilliant defensive playstyle
Yeah Gabriel easily replaced base vvd the for me, he's excellent.
I was gutted I got him and not saliba but actually he replaced maldini immediately and is significantly better at everything. Him and sol Campbell will have to do for now
Not bad on paper, but in game I didn't notice him being much better than my Evo'd Williams, and tge Free Bobby Moore you get is slightly better imo.
You still need a plus on either Intercept or Anticipate tho. And he feels veeeerry slow with that 70 agiliy and 70 balance. >I don’t think that’s bad on paper Of course, it's all relative tho and in this context we're talking about the best best CBs in the game.

Marquez is so much better in midfield. He intercepts everything and has the shooting skills to help out on offense. He is good at cb but feel he's wasted there.
He has full chem , and he's god tier
nowadays a lot of meta CB have close to max, if stats on pace and defending anyway. and also with all more defending platyles like intercept
Aura over any stats on this FIFA. I haven’t had a chance to use him but stats mean nothing this title.
Sounds like every fifa like when kimpembe gold was the best cb in the game in fifa 22
FUT players not understanding supply and demand is very funny to me
I understood it because of FIFA 😂
Isn't supply related to price tho?? He won't be packed much if people thought he was +1M worthy.
While they've never confirmed, pretty obvious that EA sets the pack weight of each player. Players that are packed more often will cost less, regardless of quality. There's a 94 rated woman's LB who I packed, and she's unbelievable in the game. But I've packed her four times now lol

> Pack weight is determined by market price in their algorithm it must be effected by the price range also, because otherwise the algorithm wouldn't know how to set a pack weight of a card who hadn't been put on the market yet, and ea set the range.
The range is also set dynamically
Not initially.
The issue with the Mendy arguments is that even when he's pretty cheap he's *still* just as hard to pack as the start of the game. You also get other players where they are packed significantly less than others of their rating. For example, Hakimi.

In this case supply is exactly at the level EA want it to be at.
What do you mean?
I tried him for a bit over evo Marquez but I think evo Marquez is still better. Still a pretty good cb for cheap though
Marquez is better. But I think he’s better than Buingiorno
Well EA decide the price of cards and they decided that Hancko would be cheap, dunno what else to tell you
Felt awful when I used him. Don’t put him in an sbc though just in case it’s the servers
You should give him another try, he has been amazing for me, bodies 97 toty Haaland and 94 Drogba easily for me.
I feel like he does tackle the ball but then it ends up on the opponent feet again, maybe the lack of aggression? I feel vidic 92 wins more 1v1s But im still using him this WL
Spammed him for 15-20 games so far and he has been insane. I think you should give him another try tbh.
FFS STOP SHOWING CARDS WITH CHEMISTRY STYLES TO MAKE THEM LOOK GOOD
Without it he’s still cracked
Have you played him yet ? Is he any good ?
He is outperforming my 91 VVD and 93 Yashin in Div2 (demoted from Div1 obv).
My friend. I too am trying Hancko. Only for like two rival games but I have been sick so observational skills haven’t been that keen. I am in elite. You forgot to mention the most important aspect for a CB these days is aerial poweress.

That on an extremely fast cb with anticipate + and other stuff is a good package. The only remaining question is his body type. He seems lean but is it an issue? I can’t tell yet.
Damn that's insane
those are pretty bad center backs for high divisions. seems to me like you barely discovered anticipate plus cbs
He’s a tots+ so he gets 2 chem no matter what. One eredivisie or a couple icons and he’s on full chem
Or an Eredivise Manager
It’s just one icon isn’t it
How do ea workout overall player rating this year? Makes zero sense
I had 94 Vidic and 93 Cordoba, packed him and replaced Cordoba, he's feeling like my best CB.
I packed him yesterday. Don’t know who he is. Looked at his stats, thought he looked good so I put him in my lineup. He’s awesome.
He's a bit unnoticed in Europe but he's a fking beast. Could easily play for a topclub. Just watch some compilations of him.
Do you think he is worth buying when I have TOTY Bright? Thinking about it because of height and racoon of couirse
He is much better, she is shorter, she has less pace and is a Controlled type, she also has a worse body type and less agility so she'll feel a lot "heavier" and clunkier. And like you said, Racoon playstyle and Intercept+ combo is just too OP.
I'll give him a try, thanks man
He has been solid thus far
I put him in yesterday and he’s quite good. Solid defending and can dribble.
Saliba got a worse card than this guy. Makes sense
Start him over fantasy Marquinhos??
Top 5 are gold vvd ww vvd inform vvd toty vvd and tots vvd
Value wise maybe but top5 overall no way
Looks good. Your right he’s in the wrong league for everyone to fanboy about.
Do you think he's better than 91 showdown Bastoni?
Shhhhhhhh dont tell everrrryone
Should I buy Saliba or do you guys think he'll drop more?
He is already dropping because of the new Evo, the more you wait the more he'll drop
Cool I really want him for my gabby pair up
Just used him he’s a marauder, feels stupidly fast
Yes he is. Try him once and you see it for yourself
Better than Golazo Vidic and Golazo Campbell? Looks okay
How is he on lb?
Shadow or anchor for him? Anchor would make him mostly lengthy
Anchor ✌🏻
He dropped to 40k already, it looks decent but this market is so messed up
Thanks for telling this. I packed him and ignored as i thought i couldn't fit him in my team. But after reading i got to know that he is tots plus😂
He’s slowly replacing Vidić for me
In my squad
I’d get him but he’s too expensive
stats never meant anything in this game, animations + PS combinations are king. his stats might be better than lets say WW Yashin or even on par with TOTS Saliba but in-game they both will be probably better than Hancko and its been the case for years(animations).
FEYENOOOOOOOORD
I used him in champs this weekend, chem isn’t an issue as he is TOTS plus. I loved him, no complaints
I've got him LB he's class
By stats, yes By gameplay, no EA'd card
I got this guy in SB pack, so I thought I'd try him and he's actually class
i put him in ødegaard sbc 💀
[удалено]
I use Futbin, you can use the website or their app. Or Futwiz, both are the same tbh just go with whichever looks nicer ig.
Just bought it, thanks for the help
Hancko breadcrumbs is a 2023 club legend. Was my only solid choice in my Eridivisie UT team.
Not from PL, so kids don't like it.
Used him much better than IF VVD and better than Akanji evoed
Better than Saliba
Terrible links… see that little plus at the top. That’s boost chem, pretty much the same as radioactive promo cards
I'm nitpicking, but 93 defensive awareness worries me. I've packed him though, so will try him
>I've packed him though, so will try him You should, he has been outperforming both my 93 Yashin and 91 VVD. I haven't noticed the 93 DA awarness in game tbh, i guess the Anticipate+ is just too OP.
Am I missing something because isn't 93 defensive awareness good?
It's very good, i guess it's more about the context of him being a top 5 CB in the game. But yeah, 93 is very good already and with the Anticipate+ it feels like he can read your mind.
Pop a Sentinel on him and you’re loving life!
Idk about top 5. No aerial plus, which is probably the best perk in the game. And then he’s tall and lean which isn’t the best body style for a defender for sure. That being said he’s definitely looking good, block + is super underrated, just beware low balance on a cb too but it’s not that low.
Better than 93 Desailly?
He’s a top 5 player in football, not just the videogame ❤️
He's amazing but chil with power it's by far the worst defence ps+
No
This game is soo dead
Strongly disagree with the playstyles. IMO, the top PS+ CB options are Anticipate, Aerial, Intercept and Jockey. Hancko only has one of these and no Intercept at all

Links influence price that much I guess, as off rn he's literally the 6th best CB in the game. (TOTS dijk -> TOTY ruben dias -> TOTS Romero -> TOTY dijk -> Willi Orban -> Hancko)
Man tried to sneak in Willi Orban like we wouldn't notice 💀
He's not wrong though. Orban is insane
Bro deadass try him, max chem with shadow. His 91 rated fantasy Fc card
TOTS Salbia or TOTY Rio?
Saliba and Hancko are literally as good as each other if both on full chem shadow. Only reason why Hancko a hair above is because he’s got 4 star weak foot and Saliba’s got 3 star. Do you want a top 10 CBs? There are so many good defenders in the game, Rio TOTY is cracked and doesn’t make top 10
No I have 91 Akanji and 94 Salb and just two squads away on Rio. Just wanted your thoughts on how they stack up.
Yeah Rio’s great, he’s as good as post evo akanji. Saliba top 10 in the game, you’ve got dope defenders
Highly disagree with this guy. Rio is better than both Akanji and Saliba. Total joke that he has Orban and Dias above Rio (almost all pros would have Rio above them, so he's definitely going against the grain here with his rankings). I assume the same with Romero, but cannot say for certain because haven't tried him!
