He’s been a staple for both Spain and FC Barcelona for the last 11 years, has won numerous titles and will be leaving the Nou Camp an absolute legend and for that Jordi Alba has his End of an Era SBC available in FIFA Ultimate Team now!
The former Valencia CF defender’s SBC is a little expensive, coming in at a price of 174.2K coins and needs 2 segments to unlock the card.
He has a lot of good stats and characteristics such as:
- 96 Acceleration and 94 Sprint Speed with his Explosive AcceleRATE type makes him extremely quick along the touchline
- With 92 Positioning and 80+ in all the impactful in-game shooting stats he will actually be fairly decent at putting the ball in the back of the net
- Incredible ball distribution from the wide areas with 91 Vision, 90 Crossing, 97 Short Passing, 92 Long Passing and 90 Curve with his Flair Passes, Swerve Passes and Early Crosser Traits
- 99 Agility. 96 Balance, 92 Reactions, 94 Ball Control, 90 Dribbling and 90 Composure with his Unique body type makes him very good on the ball
- 92 Interceptions and 91 Sliding Tackle with 90 Standing Tackle and 90 Defensive Awareness means he will be incredibly solid defensively
- 85 Jumping and Heading Accuracy means that despite his 5’7 Height he will be fairly decent in the air
- 84 Strength with 90 Aggression allows him to come out on top in both defensive and offensive duels physically
- 94 Stamina means he won’t need to be substituted for 85+ minutes
- 4-Star Skill Moves and Weak Foot are good enough for an advanced wingback
- High/High workrates are perfect for a wingback
His ideal position in game would be as an advancing wingback in a 5-back setup or an LM in a 3-back setup. His stats and workrates allow him to be rapid in tracking back and incredible at beating players on the touchline and crossing the ball into the box for the assist.
He has a similar player profile to Team of the Season Alejandro Balde. The high pace, workrates, lithe dribbling and the ability to both go forward and stay back in defence makes them both ideal for the advancing wingback role.
The card has virtually no drawbacks to speak of which is an incredible thing.
