Detail Review

Pace

His recovery pace is very good for a centre back. Thanks to his solid acceleration, he can drag back effectively and chase down attackers during counter attacks. While he is not among the absolute fastest defenders in the game, his pace is more than enough to stay competitive against most forwards and recover when caught out of position.

(9.6/10)

Defending

His defending is simply elite. His standing tackles are clean and effective, while his marking remains tight throughout the game. Interceptions are another huge strength due to his excellent defensive awareness. Whether it's stopping through balls, blocking runs, or winning direct duels, he performs at a very high level consistently. Even the Anticipate Playstyle has highly increased the accuracy of his standing tackles in-game.

(10/10)

Physical

His physicality is one of his biggest strengths. He possesses immense raw strength and comfortably dominates shoulder-to-shoulder duels. Attackers often struggle to hold their ground against him, and he regularly wins possession through physical battles without needing risky tackles.

(9.9/10)

Aerial Ability

His aerial presence is very reliable. He has good enough height and jumping ability to clear defensive crosses comfortably. On attacking set pieces, he can also become a threat inside the box and score headers occasionally when given quality deliveries.

(9.6/10)

Positioning

At times, he can feel slightly aggressive while stepping forward to challenge attackers. However, his high defensive awareness helps him recover and maintain the defensive line effectively. He positions himself well to block passing lanes and remains dependable when defending dangerous attacks.

(9.8/10)

Passing

His passing is good enough for a centre back. His short passing helps in build-up play from the back, while his distribution remains reliable under pressure. He won't create attacks with his passing, but he does his defensive build-up duties well.

(9.4/10)

Stamina

His 4* stamina is generally fine for a centre back. He remains effective for most of the match without any major drop in performance. Around the final stages of the game, particularly after the 80th minute, there can be a slight reduction in sharpness, but overall it remains very manageable.

(9.3/10)

Overall Rating: 9.7/10

Final Verdict

118 UTOTS Gabriel Magalhães is a top-quality defensive centre back with elite defending, strong physicality, and reliable recovery pace. His aerial ability and defensive awareness make him a complete defender capable of handling most attacking threats. While his stamina can show a slight decline late in matches, it rarely becomes a major issue. Overall, he is a very dependable option, and one of the best Centre Backs in-game currently.
