After Robert Lewandowski leaves FC Bayern Munich for Barcelona, the Munich team has made a move on the transfer market. However, the fans of the record champion have to wait for a new striker. According to information from kicker, the Bavarians have added to their defense. Matthijs de Ligt is coming from Juventus Turin

There is a need for action not only in the Munich offense, but also in the defense. After Niklas Süle’s transfer to Borussia Dortmund, there are currently only two fit central defenders who could be considered for the starting eleven: Dayot Upamecano and Lucas Hernandez.

Perfect complement to Upamecano?

Coming – Season , the duo becomes a trio. Whether Upamecano or Hernandez will have to make way is unclear, but there is no doubt that de Ligt will be in the starting eleven. His portfolio – lush: youngest debutant in the Dutch national team since 1945, winner of several awards (Johan Cruijff Prijs 2018, Golden Boy Award 2018, etc.) each a time champion and cup winner with Juventus Turin and Ajax Amsterdam.

Based on playing time, he should form the core of the defensive chain together with Dayot Upamecano. In FIFA, it should also come down to this duo. In the game, de Ligt impresses with his strength (93) and header precision (85). In addition, he can also keep up in sprint duels (79), the only drawback being that he needs something to get going (71 acceleration).

Against tempo dribblers he would have it accordingly difficult. In such cases, it would be a matter of timing to tackle (86) or tackle (85) at the right moment. That should pose fewer difficulties for the newcomer. The same applies to Upamecano, who is weaker in terms of heading and physicality, but faster. In this respect, the two could complement each other

More “quarterback” than winger

Should injury misfortune strike in career mode, the Dutchman could help out as an outside defender or in defensive midfield. However, he should only play on the flank in emergencies, because precise crosses (52) are rather not to be expected. In addition, he should also only operate on the right side due to three stars weak foot. On the Kimmich position as “quarterback”, on the other hand, he would be better suited, but again, not a permanent solution. Short (75) and long (67) passes are better for him than crosses

In offensive standard situations, he is also a welcome guest in the opponent’s sixteen. The aforementioned header precision paired with his jumping power (93) could provide for some goals after a resting ball. Should the second ball be needed, de Ligt with his shooting power (82) would also be a candidate for a finish from the second row.

Well considered 126 million

So, as in reality, there should be hardly any way around this center-back duo. In the game, both also have another plus: the potential. Because unlike van Dijk, for example, both de Ligt and Upamecano can rise. The newcomer has a potential total rating of 89, the former Leipzig player of 87.

In FIFA 22, this would put de Ligt on a par with Sevilla’s Jules Koundé or Leipzig’s Josko Gvardiol, among others. Eder Militao and Marquinhos would even achieve a higher overall rating of 90, and Manchester City’s Ruben Dias the highest of all center backs in the game (91).

For a fixed transfer fee of 126 million can de Ligt in the career mode of Juventus Turin losgeistist. If the focus is on physique and strength, the Dutchman should end up on the wish list. Then both you and FC Bayern will be well equipped for the “Tripple” mission
