Avantages

Koulibaly has excellent tackling, interceptions, and marking skills, making him a rock at the back.

His strength and aggression make him unbeatable in one-on-one duels and aerial battles.

A big threat during corners and free kicks, thanks to his aerial presence and heading ability.

Handles defensive responsibilities efficiently, rarely panics under pressing situations.

Inconvénients

His speed is below average for a modern CB, leaving him vulnerable to fast attackers, especially in counter-attacks.

Slightly sluggish and struggles with quick turns, making him less effective against highly agile strikers.

Not ideal for initiating attacks or delivering accurate long balls.

May not last effectively in high-tempo matches or deep into extra time.

Alternatives

Verdict final

Ruben Dias from the Star Pass event is a powerful defender, combining speed, strength, and excellent defensive awareness. He's great at stopping fast attackers, winning aerial duels, and maintaining a solid defensive line. However, his agility and dribbling are limited, making him less effective in ball distribution under pressure.
