Detail Review

Pace

His pace is not very impressive. He feels slow while recovering during counters, especially against fast wingers. When caught out of position, it takes time for him to catch up, which can lead to conceding chances. For a fullback position player, the lack of recovery speed is noticeable.

(8/10)

Defending

Defending is his strongest area. Standing tackles are very clean and well-timed, and his awareness helps him position correctly most of the time. Reactions feel sharp when intercepting passes or clearing danger. The only downside is that he can get stunned by perfectly timed skill moves if positioning isn’t correct.

(9.2/10)

Physical

Physical stats look strong, but in-game performance is only above average. He doesn’t dominate major of the shoulder-to-shoulder duels like top-tier defensive fullbacks. Compared to his older cards, this version feels slightly weaker physically. Still usable, but not a standout strength.

(8.5/10)

Passing

Passing is decent and reliable for a fullback. Short distribution and build-up play feel smooth. Crossing is average — usable but not a major attacking weapon. He contributes more defensively than offensively.

(8.9/10)

Workrate and Stamina

The High/High work rate is ideal for a full-back, helping him support both attack and defense. However, the 4* stamina is a problem. He starts losing energy quickly and performance drops after around the 65th minute.

(8/10)

Overall Rating: 8.5/10

Final Verdict

Jules Koundé is a defensive-minded fullback with very strong tackling and awareness. His passing is decent, but pace and physical presence are only average. Low stamina also limits his effectiveness late in matches. He works fine as a free reward upgrade for RB if needed. However, he is not recommended at CB due to work rate and average physicality. Overall, a decent but not elite option.
