Chris Smalling In-Game Stats & Player Analysis
While not being the best CB in the game, Chris Smalling has everything a good CB needs in terms of stats.
From a pace perspective, he’s certainly usable, with 76 overall pace, with 82 sprint speed. His agility and balance are a little low for a CB, but is understandable being 6’4”.
Defensively though, this card is solid, with 85 interceptions, 90 heading, 85 defensive awareness with 89 standing tackling and 87 sliding tackling. Couple that with his 93 strength, and you have a very strong no nonsense CB.
For chemistry styles, you’ve got a few options. You could go with the more popular Shadow or Anchor chemistry styles to improve his pace and defensive ability, or perhaps go with an Engine if you’d like a more technical ball-playing centre half.
Chris Smalling Squad Links
Being in Serie A, there isn’t a shortage of good links you can make to Chris Smalling, and being English helps link him into the Premier League with the likes of Kyle Walker in defence.
In terms of strong links, outside of icons, there are only really 2 main candidates in Roma clubmates 86 IF Kolarov and 84 UEL Juan Jesus. Personally, I love the look of the CB partnership, both being solid live items with the potential to upgrade heavily throughout the season!
