While these aren’t necessarily the best defensive stats, if you pair him with a more traditional CDM/CM that has better defensive attributes, then you should be set! If you’re looking for more of a box-to-box style midfielder though, the Shadow is the way to go, boosting his interceptions to 84, sliding and standing tackling to 80 and 78 respectively, and bumping his defensive awareness to 76. If you’re in need of a more attacking presence with Becks, a Hunter will improve his finishing to 90, his volleys to 97, his positioning to 96 as well as his shot power to 84, making him a very handy addition. Given his lack of pace, the favoured chemistry styles for Beckham are either a Hunter or Shadow, depending on what you’re looking to get out of him.

Even with a chemistry style such as a Hunter or a Shadow, his pace isn’t really up there with what’s required these days of a winger in FUT.įor that reason, Beckham is best deployed in the central areas of midfield, either as a CAM, CM or CDM depending on your preferences.Īs an attacking player, Beckham’s positioning, shooting and good link-up with passing will definitely come into play, with his stockier 6’0” build, good stamina and aggression coming into play on the defensive end. David Beckham Best PositionsĪs we hinted at earlier, David Beckham isn’t really best served out wide as an RM/RW or LM/LM due to his somewhat lack of pace. Despite being 6’0” tall, he didn’t feel clunky in-game at all.įinally, his defending and physical isn’t necessarily the best but can be boosted with chemistry styles to make him into a playmaking CDM with capable defending attributes if you require it. Finally, the trademark Beckham free-kick taking ability is well and truly incorporated into his card, however, he doesn’t have the signature Beckham free-kick technique.ĭribbling wise, the card is usable despite having ~80 agility and balance, as the reactions, ball control and composure stats do bring his ability up on this front. While a Galaxy player, he spent two loan spells in Italy with Milan. His passing is by far the biggest standout for us! 92 vision, 91 crossings, 87 short passing, 89 long passing and 97 curve made his passes feel crisp and direct, with a longer range through balls splitting defences with complete precision. In July 2007, Beckham signed a five-year contract with Major League Soccer club LA Galaxy.
