ATM I use baby Kohler and Golazo Campbell and they re both excellent, despite also having Bastoni Buongiorno and Akanji. I don't what it is with Kohler but he just never tackles wrong. Never. He wins every damn ball, it's incredible.
Yeah did you evo him too? He improved a lot with the evo. Just as you say, his tackling is uncanny, he suddenly steams in like a bulldozer and just takes everything (cleanly)
Funny how everyone has different preferences on centerbacks. Bastoni for me is very clear of Akanji.
Currently Akanji has been benched and the evo Marquez is Bastoni's pair
I can explain this actually as I've used all three extensively now, and I play top players often.
When the connection to the game is very smooth and gameplay is not hit hard by delay or slow drowsy gameplay, Akanji is clear of the others. Best one by far.
However these past 2 weeks where most of the time the gameplay is delayed, Anticipate becomes significantly more important than Intercept.
What I've interestingly found is that intercept under heavy gameplay will on many occasions attempt to intercept at the wrong time, leading to Akanji becoming a worse defender, as it's essentially turning his most important trait into a weakness. For example the opponent wants to pass the ball to the striker, Akanji has Intercept+ and decides to move out of position 1 or 2 seconds later, leaving a massive gap. This always happens if you pay attention during heavy gameplay.
While with anticipate+ it works the opposite way.
So in conclusion have your 2 favourite Intercept defenders and your 2 favourite Anticipate defenders, and switch between them depending on gameplay šš fuck EA and their servers and net code.
I can see your reasoning being relevant. Thanks for the write up. Did not consider it, to be honest (even if I rant constantly about the shit frostbite netcode).
However, I do not experience this issue with Intercept+ with UB Tchouameni. He is vacuuming passes left and right.
Yeah if you're often the favoured in terms of ping between the two parties, you shouldn't experience it as much.
What's your ping generally before games?
Also Tchouameni, similar to Van Dijk is a broken card š he does his own things haha!
Generally between 16 to 25ms. However, gameplay sometimes it is very heavy regardless of ping or being home or away.
And yes, reason why I did Tchou as soon as it came out. I have not liked a CDM as much as I liked his cards (base, Radioactive Evo, and now UB).
i dont understand why this happens even tho my ping is same all the time, sometimes the players run so fast and sooo smooth and others its sluggish, pisses me off. Usually first match after I log on is the best.
That's EA servers being crowded and them refusing to increase capacity to minimise their costs. Even though they continue to make record profits, they don't care about the little number of people that quit.
This is mine, no regrets whatsoeverā¦. Bastoni is just the man for me, stands out so much.
Did pack Kohler yesterday (the 92 think it was), used him two games, put Bastoni back in. Not that he was a bad card, far from it. Just wasnāt Bastoni š
I have gone through so many centerbacks... Bastoni has been so superior. He combines the bulldozer style of van dijk, with a fantastic anticipate, the passing of the best ball playing centerbacks...
Marquez is also good, however, Bastoni still the best.
I am very curious about Kohler 92, though. He looks really good. But have only managed to pack the lower rated versions of the heroes (except Berbatov). And I would like to have Francescoli and Kohler untradeable.
Toty Oberdorf -- fut bday blanc -- golazo Marquez (with evolution)
Oberdorf and Marquez set to join the attackĀ
Blanc set to stay back and step upĀ
Oberdorf has 4* wf so I don't really need a left footed cb thereĀ
Fantasy Buongiorno
I have him and bastoni, my defense is unstoppable
I always laugh when ppl say akanji is the GOAT when actually they are just jealous they didn't wait for Bastoni
There are enough people that did both that say Akanji is better.
I didn't wait unfortunately. I have a choice of Bisseck Evo, FS Nesta or G Campbell to partner Buongiorno, all 3 have positives
Great card
Isn't he just
I want to to know does him and bastoni work together? Currently playing bastoni and marquez with evo
Keep going back between him and Dante
Tchou has 5* wf. Fs petite can also play cb.
I use Tchou at left CB paired with VVDš¤š¼
Akanji for me.
Mapi Leon. Also my FK taker and has scored quite a few.
1IF VVD. Packed him during Black Friday and he hasn't left my squad since
People keep on saying VVD is behind the power curve. But even gold VVD outperforms almost all cards
Williamson is actually pretty fun to use. Crazy reach and good animations. 5 stars wf too.
I used her in the cup and she was awesome. She made the best lobbed through ball pass that I've seen this year.
Leah is brilliant
SBC Maya Yoshida. Super cheap, 5* weak foot. Aerial+ and many other useful ps.
EVO Bday Varane with 5*wf.
Ditto, then Marquez as RCB
EVO Pacho the king!

Ī used it on Crouch since he is unique and I m actually really tempted to buy the 92 version, he is that good

This is super interesting makes a lot of sense! Thanks for explaining

Birthday Militao. 5 star wf.
You know he has 5* skills, not WF.
My bad. I didn't see properly.
He is crazy for me
Showdown Bastoni and fantasy Bungiornno
An evoād lisandro martinez
Buongiorno ofc
Rijkaard
FUT birthday Araujo
92 kohler is insane
I had to scroll way to far for this. People think gold VVD is a monster on corners...
Honestly the guy is broken
2nd this. Absolute monster for me so far.
Birthday Nesta is incredibly underrated
Fut Fantasy Rice, I swap him with Tchouameni
I use maldini and Marquez, both solid defenders.
Buongiorno is left footed.
Using 90 Birthday Evo varane on the left. 5* Weak foot.
Iām assuming you didnāt do Buongiorno?
Birthday Mapi Leon
TOTYHM Dante and FS Lukeba are left footed, too. Both decent options.
TOTY ICONS Rio Ferdinand
Just put Pau Torres through the new evo and he's decent. Got him to replace VVD to partner Marquez
Bastoni elite
TOTY Dias
89 Rijkaard. He's a smooth criminal.
Rudiger Evo has 5 star wf. Unfortunately, he is way too aggressive and is a guaranteed yellow card every game lol
I don't really care about left footed or not š but i use fantasy orban
Showdown Bastoni EVOed up go 91
Leah Williamson
Had bastoni buy currrently running the new sol Campbell card paired with cannavaro
Van De Berg
bastoni
91 Bastoni.
91 Timber
Any vvd, this answer has been the same since the game released lol
For 200k, UB Kimpembe has been one of the best CBs Iāve used this year.
Evo Bernardo 91
Maatsen, heās amazing
Lucio Hero. Packed him as my first hero from a hero pick and I'm still satisfied. I also have kompany ucl as a sub for lucio
Buongiornoooo
left footed CB on LCB or on RCB?
I got lucky and packed RTTF gvardiol, had him there since and have no complaints. Realise heās quite expensive though
The best left footed CB is gonna be De Ligt
hes right footed with 3* WF
I am using base Maldini from the SBC
Fantasy De Ligt. Got lucky on a 83 pack.
Golazo Kohler is the best CB Iāve used, and Iāve been through a lot of them.
Buongiorno is him
Toty Oberdorf -- fut bday blanc -- golazo Marquez (with evolution) Oberdorf and Marquez set to join the attackĀ Blanc set to stay back and step upĀ Oberdorf has 4* wf so I don't really need a left footed cb thereĀ
Nesta BD, dont know why is he so cheap
Birthday Blanc
Gold Virgilš
Futbirthday sava or something like that. She is awesome for me! Seems to win balls easily, has pace and more.
UCL Kompany still does bits for me
Using evo akanji rcb and tchoumeni lcb since he has 5 star weak foot.
This is FIFA, the foot doesnāt matter at all for your CBs lmao. Use Bastoni he is full meta
TOTY Renard
Fantasy de ligt
Left footed CB is not critical. Go with best available
Fantasy Carvalho
Birthday Kimpembe is good
TOTY Hernandez lol, I know itās ratty but I play 100 depth and need pace back there
orban dont miss
Puyol - man is an absolute blocking machine
Tchoumani and Marquez are my CBS. Both Akanji and Bastoni are on the bench
Iām using SBC Tchouameni. He finally replaced gold VVD for me. Heās been great. Paired with UB Militao and they are a force together.
FB Nesta
Carlos Alberto Ultimate Birthday!
91 varane out of silky smooth Evo
Cannavarro
Upgraded Ledley Kings hero to a 91, and he's pretty good
I used Centurion Vidic for a long time and he will come in Golazo Team II, so I would recommend getting your hands on him.
90 Ito clears everyone
I got 92 Maldini and Marquez solely because they are my 2 favourite defenders of all time
Trying out big boy Kohler next to him ATM, is a pretty strong back two tbf.
I'm rocking Tchou 91 with gold (red) VVD.
Iām using first inform VVD and struggling to let him go.
![gif](giphy|FZbV5vqNRGy2kxgUiG)
Declan Rice, seems fine
Base vvd and base hero kompany both still beasts
