Detail Review
Defending
+
Saliba is an absolute wall. His tackling is clean, strong, and very consistent. Interceptions feel automatic and his positioning is elite, especially in H2H. He stays tight to attackers and rarely gets caught out of position. One of the most reliable CBs at this OVR. (9.7/10)
Physical
+
Elite physical presence. He’s tall, strong, and dominates shoulder battles easily. His strength combined with height makes him very hard to beat in duels, and he wins most aerial battles in defensive situations. Feels like a proper bully CB. (9.6/10)
Pace
+
For a 192 cm CB, his pace is very impressive. He tracks fast attackers well and recovers quickly when caught slightly out of position. He won’t feel slow unless you’re facing pure pace abuse strikers. (9.0/10)
Passing
+
Passing is underrated. Short passes out from the back are clean and reliable, and he can play simple long balls without panicking. Not a playmaking CB, but very safe in possession. (8.6/10)
Dribbling
–
Dribbling is basic. He feels stable on the ball but not agile. You don’t want to carry the ball too much with him under pressure. Best used for quick passes rather than movement. (8.0/10)
Weak Foot
–
The 3* weak foot is noticeable. Under pressure, passes or clearances on his weaker foot can feel slightly inconsistent. It’s not a deal-breaker, but something to be aware of.
Final Verdict
William Saliba is a top-tier, meta CB built for pure defending. Elite tackling, insane physicality, and strong recovery pace make him one of the safest defenders in the game. Limited weak foot and basic dribbling are minor downsides, but overall he’s an elite choice for any competitive squad.
