Detail Review

Pace

+ Thuram's pace is outstandingly fast; he runs like a Cheetah in game with his exceptional sprint speed and recovers from rare stuns with his amazing acceleration, stopping any opponents from even trying to shoot. (9.9/10)

Defending

+ Thuram is able to mark the opponents tightly, intercept any passes with his peak awareness, and especially tackle opponents very cleanly and precisely, from both standing and sliding ones. (9.9/10)

Physical

+ Without a doubt, his physicality is one of the best in the game, being as strong as a hydraulic press and as aggressive as a hippo, he's able to stand his ground and never fall down when trying to body opponents. (9.9/10)

Essential Trait

+ Thuram is seen with the Dives Into Tackles trait, which is considered essential for a optimal defender, as it makes him attempt more slide tackles to try and win the ball back. (9.6/10)

Height and Aerial Ability

+ While not optimal height, Thuram's 182 cm height can often win him duels in the air, even managing to outjump taller opponents during corners and crosses. (9.5/10)

Work Rates

+ As he is a defensive fullback, his Medium/High work rate is super reliable during defensive situations, as he rarely ever shifts to offense and always stay back to help defend the ball. (9.9/10)

Overall Rating: 9.8/10

Final Verdict

Thuram is the best RB in the game without doubt. He's able to play in both RB and CB, making him a very defensive minded fullback. His super controlled sprint speed and explosive acceleration lets him outrun even the fastest attackers, and he defends like a beast in the pitch, with insanely clean tackles and tight marking, which stops opponents from getting past him. If you are looking for a defensive RB or a pacey CB that could last over 4-5 months in your squad, Thuram is your man.
