From his sunny visage, his humility and his 1000 watt smile, this man is known for many things. His journey from the depths of French football, rising the ranks in Boulogne, in SM Caen, making the dream a reality by winning the Premier League with Leicester City in 2015 and moving to Chelsea to win the Champions League with them. World Cup winner for France in 2018 and the list goes on for this little man, N'Golo Kanté has won it all and now as this chapter of his life comes to close he has his End of an Era SBC available in FIFA Ultimate Team now!
The Al Ittihad midfielder’s SBC is extremely expensive, coming in at an eye watering cost of 616.8K coins and needs 8 segments to unlock the card.
He has some incredible stats and characteristics such as:
- 96 Acceleration and 85 Sprint Speed with his Controlled AcceleRATE type will make him extremely rapid across short distances
- 88 Positioning, 87 Long Shots, 80 Finishing and 80 Shot Power means that should he get into advanced positions he will have a half decent chance of scoring
- Impeccable central ball distribution with 95 Vision, 94 Long Passing and 98 Short Passing
- 99 Balance and Reactions, 93 Composure, 91 Ball Control with 87 Agility and Dribbling alongside his Unique body type and 5’6 height will make him very fluid in motion and on the ball
- Literally perfect defending with 99 in ALL in-game defending stats bar Heading Accuracy
- 99 Stamina means he won’t ever need to be substituted
- 99 Aggression means that it will be difficult for anyone to beat him in a 50/50, he will always fight for the ball
- 4-Star Skill moves are good and the 5-Star Weak Foot allows him to be perfect with both feet
- Medium/High workrates are ideal for a defensive midfielder
His ideal position in game would be as as secondary CDM in a 2 man pivot such as a 4-2-3-1, 4-2-2-2 or a 3-5-2. His high acceleration and aggression with perfect defending abilities allows him to apply high pressure on the opposition team tirelessly and then get the ball up the field with ease.
He has a similar player profile to that of Team of the Season Joshua Kimmich and Shapeshifters Icon Clarence Seedorf. They’re small in height but their high aggression, high stamina and near perfect defensive stats allow them to master that secondary CDM role to perfection.
The card does have a few drawbacks such as:
- 85 Sprint Speed isn’t very high and may be noticeable over long sprints
- Being 5’6 with 84 Heading Accuracy and 85 Jumping makes him very mediocre in the air
- 82 Strength isn’t high and he will be prone to being pushed off by more physical players
What Chemistry Style to use for End of an Era N'Golo Kanté?
The suggested Chemistry Style for End of an Era N'Golo Kanté is: HUNTER. He needs the +8 boost in Sprint Speed to compete with other cards while his passing and defending are already perfect, so it makes sense to boost his Shooting which is rather mediocre.
End of an Era N'Golo Kanté: Complete or Yeet?
Honestly, it’s really hard to pass a verdict on this card. While he is absolutely incredible in game you’d be hard pressed to find a card that’s not very similar to him for a much cheaper price. To have to grind this card out at the end of June seems a little too much work for too little a reward but this might be the last time we see a very good N'Golo Kanté card so in the spirit of sentimentality as well as one of the best CDMs in FIFA, this SBC is worth it. My verdict: Complete!
