One of the most consistent players in Ultimate Team over the years, this Manchester City and Premier League legend has been at the very top of the game for a while now.
The joint-highest rated card in EA Sports FC 24 Ultimate Team is now a little more accessible, with Kevin De Bruyne having his Flashback Player SBC available now.
The Belgian playmaker’s SBC is expensive, coming in at a price of 164.8K coins and needs 2 segments to unlock the card.
He has some very good stats and characteristics such as:
- 80 Acceleration and Sprint Speed with his Controlled AcceleRATE type makes him very fast over moderate distances
- 84 Positioning, 81 Finishing, 88 Shot Power and Long Shots make him incredibly lethal in front of goal, especially at range with his Trivela PlayStyle
- Amazing ball distribution with every single stat being 90+ as well as having the Whipped Pass, Pinged Pass, Long Ball Pass PlayStyles and the Incisive Passing PlayStyles+
- Good Shot Power, Long Shots, Curve and 80 Freekick Accuracy with theDead Ball Specialist PlayStyle will allow you to have a good chance at scoring Direct FKs with him
- Incredible control while dribbling with his 88 Reactions and Ball Control, 82 Dribbling and 84 Composure
- 86 Stamina means you won’t need to substitute him until the 75th minute
- 4-Star Skill Moves and Weak Foot are more than good enough for a midfielder
- High/Medium workrates are great for a an attacking CM
His ideal position in game would be as an advancing CM in a 4-3-3 setup. He can defend a little but his main prowess comes in playmaking and finishing, and attacking from the middle, staying at the edge of the box you can make the most of this card.
He has a similar player profile to that of Icon Xavi or Rare Gold Frenkie de Jong. Even then, he has their ball playing ability with the added benefit of being a more physical player, adding another dimension to his gameplay.
The card does have its share of drawbacks such as:
- 70 Agility and 74 Balance will make him feel clunky in game
- Low Strength and Aggression means he will be easy to subdue with physical defenders
- Low Jumping and Heading Accuracy makes him poor at the end of a high cross
What Chemistry Style to use for Flashback Kevin De Bruyne?
The suggested Chemistry Style for Flashback Kevin De Bruyne is: ANCHOR. The boost in Defending and Physical allows us to make him a more rounded box-to-box midfielder and change his AcceleRATE type to Controlled Lengthy making him faster in a long sprint.
Flashback Kevin De Bruyne: Complete or Yeet?
This is literally day 2 of Early Access launch for EA Sports FC 24, which means that we have very little supply of coins and high rated fodder. Sinking 164.8K coins straight into this untradable card won’t be worth it, you’d be better off just buying his 91 rated card off the market. Unless you’re incredibly lucky and have the fodder to craft him, my verdict is: YEET!
