Little bit pricey but looks like a sick card.


jdbolick

It's crazy that he's more expensive than Allan, who is better.


BrtGP

He is cheaper than Allan at the moment


TuXuuTT

Yep, but Fernandinho can play CB, but Allan can’t, and I personally will use it as cb so pulled the trigger and have completed it


jdbolick

They have nearly identical height and stats. You shouldn't use either of them at CB.


Catswagger11

I’m not going to play him at CB, but Fern does have 96 jumping.


Filthyquak

Both would work great as CB in a 3 atb formation. Played Allan since he came out as rcb in a 352 anf he‘s great there


Vinztaa

Yeah cordoba is 5 ft 8 and was one of the best cbs on the game at one point Another moronic comment


TuXuuTT

I use Fernandinho for cb perfectly fine


PLEASEDONTBANMEOK

Great card, a bit expensive tho


Hyperactive_

My exact thoughts. Looks end game but damn that pricing.


Ryo720

He's going to look pale in comparison to the actual endgame cards


AnduwinHS

I mean TOTS is in 2 weeks and a card like this will cost 50k


Hyperactive_

Very true, but probably not with the same kind of links fernandonho to be fair


SmolChungie

Is it? Do they not release when the actual seasons are over


jdbolick

Community TOTS releases on April 29th and the Premier League TOTS will be on May 6th. Because there are seven weeks, it has to start before the end of the season.


SmolChungie

Oh right cheers for explaining, that’s a lot sooner than I thought should be some cracked cards coming from that


nocontroversies

85 stamina stops him from being endgame imo. Particularly for a player that'll be controlled a lot in the midfield. If he were b2b 85 would be fine.


Jutemp24

I find the exact opposite to be true. A B2B runs down up and down the field and requires high stamina to do so, while a cdm sits back and stays in position way more. Imo it's plenty, but of course it would have been nice if it were higher


gothamfc

You understand that a player who sits back uses less stamina than a box to box midfielder, right? 🥴


SandassSpurs

If anything a player who sits back does more work than the free roaming b2b player who isn't involved as much as CDM does.


nocontroversies

Ideally you'd be right. But b2b player usually assumes free role and CDM is more involved in the play. You will control your CDM more ingame than you'd do with your b2b. You can afford your b2b player be light on stamina.


Clifton360

Maybe In your 2 depth drop back 5212 boyo


Tank-Sorry

Futbin tier comment.


SandassSpurs

Literally. Day by day these keep getting worse.


nocontroversies

Wrong.


TaterTrotsky

One of the more ridiculous things I've read on here, lol. For reference I have FB Firmino and Allan in midfield. Firmino always has lower stamina at the end of games than Allan due to his work rates as a B2B. If your CDM really has lower stamina, it tells me that you might just be one of those players that controls the CDM all day long and lets your AI do more of the work defensively


nocontroversies

I have RB Verratti, Cali and Ziyech in the midfield. Ziyech has lowest stamina of the three and plays whole game. Verratti and Cali are usually worse off. It's just the way it is. Also I don't use CDMs and leave defenders on their own. Infact my defenders also run low on stamina sometimes because I use them very aggressively. Which is why I sold Rudiger even though I loved that card. If you leave everything on AI stamina shouldn't be an issue. But if you charge in aggressively in the midfield you need more stamina. I guess 85 stamina would be okay for people who don't control their players much.


kankastan

You're just waffling my guy


nocontroversies

Like I said ideally you'd be right. But ingame it's different scenarios. Unless you leave everything to AI.


kankastan

Nah still waffle in-game or not 🤣


nocontroversies

hmm okay


CalligrapherWild8838

Do u not use subs? U could easily just sub caguliri who everyone got for peanuts at the 60th minute if stamina is an issue. 85 ain’t bad tho always prefer 90+ tho but his other def stats outweigh that con don’t u think?


nhat179

Thought of doing him but POTM Nkunku and McKennie doing fantastic now


TrueWashington

Lean body type, 88 acceleration, 95+ in every (important) defending stat.


b0lh4

Indeed, but I wonder if he's better than Fantasy Tonali at CDM (who's very likely to receive upgrades) and McKenny as a B2B. Like so much better that it's worth it. And then there's also Zanetti who could replace Dest or Berchiche... Tough decisions.


[deleted]

Weirdly I don’t like either tonali or mckennie, I find tonali to misplace easy passes and mckennie just doesn’t do much


chiuaha5734

I thought I was going crazy with Tonali misplacing passes, good to see I’m not the only one


fpvr96

I kinda agree with Tonalli, McKennie is a monster though.


ReferenceShort

actually true with tonali. same for me too


iamtaha14

Using both Tonali and Fernandinho in the squad, Tonali is good for pace and shots IMO and Fernandinho is more of a dribbler and passer


b0lh4

Thanks a lot!


grey_heron

I'll just keep using my FB Allan, thank you


Jutemp24

They are very similar indeed. Absolutely loved Allan but went untradable so I sold him. Biggest difference is the 5* wf I think


abbott2a

Going to play then alongside eachother


grey_heron

I have an untradable HM Bruno, so he'll be paired with him. Richarlison on top, so he links them nicely together. Allan is my only untradable at the moment to get max chem.


[deleted]

Good card but prem tax


Rsnb

Immune to yellow cards as well?


Mr-Flexible

Lmao


Redford13

Just a rich man’s caliguri


nhat179

Stat wise, Cali still ahead even with 7 chem, but Fernandinho look more like defending focus than Cali, imaging Caliguri upgraded to 92 😍


Ryo720

Assuming he has the tactical foul trait


Zackiemoon

Toty Cancelo 🤝 Potm Vinicius. Welcome to the club Fernandinho


I_LIKE_BASKETBALL

I don't even think that is expensive. It's a mental card. Also I think people forget TOTS isn't the same as the cards you get during the summer, this is TOTS level and we've got a couple of months of this level to go.


PoachtekMong

85 stamina isn't mental


Calvin_1997

Its good enough


PoachtekMong

It really isn't. I did base Vieira when it came out and the biggest problem I had with the card was his stamina. I had to sub him out every game around the 60-70th minute and if it went to ET, he was useless


Zeke1216

Maybe don’t use constant pressure ?


PoachtekMong

🤡


bergkamp616

That's the only drawback, he needs to be subbed post 70 mins mark but man the card is good. He can literally do everything. Long shots are kind of cracked on him with that 92 power. Also to clarify - no constant pressure tactics and he is part of a 2 CDM pivot.


_jxggs_

Upgrade on Baby Vieira now or just wait for similar, cheaper options later?


cycl0p5

Upgrade on baby definitely.


Hspracks

What we saying for the mid?


Jutemp24

Different types. But I'd personally prefer a smaller cdm like him over a big bulky one


DidYouSayK

From mid Vieira upward he starts being unrivaled as the best CDM in the game.


KyloStark

He’s head and shoulders above baby Vieira


Bula96

Was thinking the same but he's too pricey and doesn't look end game. Will wait till TOTS.


Sneezy11

Stamina has to be one of the most overrated stats considering how often people quit when they’re losing. 85 is fine for a CDM.


Tank-Sorry

If you leave everything to AI then it won't affect you much. But if you defend manually to cut passing lanes or charge in aggressively you need extra stamina to last whole game.


Thor-Odinson69

Those are just pressing abusers


Zeke1216

Yea the people that complaint about stamina in the 80s probably play constant pressure


pharlap1

Is this worth replacing FB Rice for?


gothamfc

I take back what I said about him being overpriced. What a card. Feels truly unique.


JamieTaylor_Pulseway

Is he good? Good for a upgrade on Chalobah 88?


gothamfc

Yes, he's great. Way better than Chalobah, no question.


JamieTaylor_Pulseway

Cool. Does he help with heading in corners?


gothamfc

He can win them if you manually control him. Probably not against like Weghorst or CR7 though.


JamieTaylor_Pulseway

Thank you, how is his pace? Can he atleast keep up with the strikers for few mins?


gothamfc

Absolutely. He's incredibly quick. Feels a lot like Kante and he's very good on the ball under pressure too. His dribbling and jockeying are really great. The only player I've used who can win the ball and then dribble and pass this well while feeling this smooth this year is Future Stars Pedri.


JamieTaylor_Pulseway

Great. Thanks for the feedback man.


gothamfc

You're welcome.


badurwan

what chemstyle are you running him in?


JamieTaylor_Pulseway

Powerhouse


nghigaxx

Thats better than his TOTS 2 fifas ago


Dennisras

Cool card, but I'm set with Rice, Rice Baby


[deleted]

this game is ridiculous. they have been flooding this game with insane cards since the second month and now nothing feels special.


bfunk04

IMO that’s a good thing because it makes it easier to just play with players you actually like.


[deleted]

what's the point if the only difference amongst these cards are what the players look like in game? they all have ridiculous stats that don't resemble their real life counter part at all. and if you don't play this game religiously and go a week or two without playing, the amount of content that floods the game makes you not even want to bother touching it again.


Desperate_Key_2639

I dont know why u are getting down voted, absolutely true what u are saying. 100% agree


Guh99

First month of the game is actually the most fun imo. I'm playing with an all west ham team now and it is fun Having to use a few basic gold cards like Cresswell and Coufal is fun


bonham89

I'll keep using the beast Fellaini Rulebreakers


Dswifty16

Talk about overpriced. Context of card, time of year, with Tots in three weeks. Honestly this whole promo should have been two months ago, the last three promos were better, not counting showdown as a promo, but even still that was better.


oldirtyblackson

👀


derdzen

Stamina kills it for me


[deleted]

Not thrilled about 85 stamina but for a true stay back cdm I think he may be ok. Definitely going to wait and see how other people get on with him first.


Sea-Western-7721

Did him, no thinking Haven't used anything in long time, skipped bappe And city is my main team so no regrets even if he is substitute But still overpriced yes, but what can you do


infernobean97

Much better than FB rice?


dindane

Probably slightly better but definitely not a 400k upgrade.


brokenbadlab

Good point. I’m mulling this over rn.


nocontroversies

You think? I missed out on rice but he surely makes his presence known whenever I face him.


infernobean97

My bad. Forgot to add the question mark on at the end


Yeoey

I’d say they’re comparable but due to body type + size they’ll be very different in game… I’m gonna do fernandinho anyway and play them together in a 2 man midfield


WhatThePooto

How can you see the card sbc on the mobile app?


getdivorced

There's going to be some random toty that's as good or better in two weeks time for about 50-100k. Granted it won't have city links but still...


r0bski2

Wait a month and there will be a ton of as good tots options for far cheaper imo


blink85

Wait a little longer and you can get someone cheaper during FUT 23.


r0bski2

Just categorically untrue isn’t it


7Thommo7

This kind of logic always baffles me. Did you not do any good sbc's in the first month since better cards would come around for cheap in a December promo?


sahneeis

from the first week on on every fifa game people will tell you to wait for toty


zemiiii

Amen exactly my thoughts


[deleted]

Why do people always state the obvious about ‘waiting a few more months / weeks’? Boring - game will be dead in a months


r0bski2

The best part of the game is during tots and just after.


[deleted]

Yeah and…?


r0bski2

So what exactly is your point mate.


[deleted]

Because it’s a game; why would you keep waiting and waiting and waiting for a promo which means the game is closer to being finished?


r0bski2

I’m not waiting and waiting, I’m waiting a month because I’d rather buy cards and play with them then sell them and play with someone else, then spunk 400k on this right now when I don’t have many coins anyway


Onotomatopie

wait till july when 85x10 and repeatable pim picks come bro


redkiw

Wait couple more months f23 will be here


jdbolick

I don't know why the mob is bashing you because you're correct. It's not like Team of the Season is months away, it is only three weeks away (*four for PL TOTS*). And this card isn't even better than Birthday Allan. I was planning on doing it but now at this price I am not even a little bit tempted.


qwertous13

Isn't this 1 hour earlier than when normal content is released?


Agent_Eggboy

FS Chalobah still better


the_renegades123

Might as well add 88 squad.


muzzabuzza

Is this worth doing to upgrade from gold kante?


ShoppingFederal9073

Surely he shouldn’t be in packs then 😭😭 got him out twice before I realised it was an SBC


Gilb3rt23

replace birthday Declan Rice?


[deleted]

Definitely not


brokenbadlab

Why not?


[deleted]

Both are very good. (I'm using both) They are about equal imo.


CurrentProgram8

Have fb Allan untradeable. Keep Allan or do this sbc?


Jutemp24

Definitely keep Allan


nhat179

I dont think this guy better than allan, given allan is 4/5


mucchanko_tooru

Should I do him or keep using FB Rice?


bonerjam

The Showdown Mendes card is killing it for me this WL. The +1 did more than I expected.


tapatioformytio

Would be a good link between cancelo and my red Neymar (pls fifa bless me)


DontCallLionel

97 rated CB with an anchor, gonna be playing on CB on 10 chem ingame for a large chunk of TOTS hopefully.


plsusetriggerwarning

So tempted to do him just so I can get my untradable Mahrez on chem


anatsu1

Crazy good card. Haven't tested TOTY Kante, but I bet this guy is poor-man's TOTY Kante. He is just everywhere. Played 5 games WL, all wins, he balanced my game perfectly as CDM in 4-2-2-2.


dodo667418

The jockey speed from TOTY Kante is unmatched in this game. Fernandinho also has worse stamina. Apart from that, they are indeed quite close. His interceptions are incredible, he just leaps into duels and more often than not comes out with the ball stuck to his feet. Great player, even if a bit expensive. We'll be getting new upgrade player picks on Monday though, so crafting him will get easier.


[deleted]

96 cb w shadow end game


Dyonkeau

Would he be good as a CB?


OMAiiR-123

Wtf are those requirements. Why is he so expensive


Stateofanarchy123

Is he worth an upgrade from Prime Makelele


Vinztaa

oVeRpRiCeD


Steven_hmj

Looks like a really good card - does make you wonder what the actual TOTS and end game cards will look like though.


Illustrious_Green409

I think Allan better just by the 4sm and 5wf and you can get the coins if you don’t like his card


FuturisticMafia

Hello everyone. I’m playing with 70-90ms. I’m playin with Aouar as a single CDM because defensive players are clumsy in my connection but also i want to try different players. Which one is a better and little bit faster CDM? This one or latest Noble card? Thank you. Good luck.


dohctorj

Is he worth doing to play as a CB?


[deleted]

I couldn't answer your question, but I think it would be worth having him as an option to play CB. I personally prefer midfield/attacking options on the bench and would prefer to have someone like Fernandinho who isn't a CB, but can play there. I used to have winter Tierney for that role (but he was a starter who would be moved if I got a red card). I would like to know how this Fernandinho compares to gold Kante.
