Thanks Paul! Rijkaard is an interesting case (which was the reason why I didn't include him because I tried to keep it simple😁), because not all cards of him have the same dimensions. According to the database, the big time 28-year old orchestrator card has leg length 11 (leg coverage diameter 189.5), while all the others (that are available in the spreadsheet, which I think is like several months old or something, so newest cards are missing) have leg length 8 (184.9).
Hey mate, owner of the spreadsheet here. Just some corrections: - Leg length is not measured in centimeters - Leg length equivalent height is irrelevant in this scenario - it affects how a player feels when dribbling - Leg length and the player's height both contribute towards the leg coverage range, and not the equivalent height
Hey! If you're the owner of it, big thanks for providing us with such a nice spreadsheet, love it👍 You're absolutely right about the first one, I have no idea why the description says cm in there, I didn't even notice it until now, it makes absolutely no sense, my sincere apologies! I even double checked this but apparently this wasn't enough😀 Luckily it's just a descriptive error though, would be a bit hard to play football with legs only 14 cm long😂! Or with -7cm legs like in the old game I compared it to😀 About the others, as I said in the video, I don't know how exactly the game processes this, I just noticed that those with great size + great leg length tend to be really good interceptors, while those who did not have these features tended to be not as good interceptors. I'm not sure if I understood the last point correctly. The spreadsheet's formula to calculate leg coverage diameter says (0.16*0.5*J+0.7*J*(0.56+0.03*(P/14)))*2, with J being leg length equivalent height and P being leg length. If not equivalent height but the actual players height contributing, wouldn't it have to be O instead of J? Apologies if I'm overlooking something and thanks for your comment👍
@PESPepe This is due to an incorrect formula for the leg coverage calculation, it should be height instead of leg length equivalent height. However am unable to update the whole spreadsheet with the new formula because my laptop is simply not powerful enough 😂 my apologies for spreading slight misinformation
Aaah, alright, that makes sense, now I understand😀No problem at all, I'm so glad we have this spreadsheet, really great work from you! And you see I accidently put cm under the leg length column, so what should I say, sometimes things just happen😁Luckily it doesn't really change the context😀 Thanks for letting me know and big props to you, from what I've read from the people translating your content, you're a true gem, providing us with so much in-depth information👍
i would also argue that this player id thing does apply to other stats like passing or shooting where some player have same stats but one is waay better than the other and only few 'current' player have that advantage like modric or kdb.... i first started noticing that with the introduction of legend players in 2019 or so
Played Burn for a while, agree he is nice😀Since he is very tall, even his average leg length of 7 is enough to put him just between Vieira and Zakaria. Hows your Koller doing with it? Long time ago, I randomly gave a skill trainer to Lewandowski and also got Interception and he really did make some surprise interceptions with it. I'd expect Koller to do even better with it due to his size😀
@@PESPepe Tbh I haven’t used much of Koller but from what I remember his interceptions weren’t that great. ill use him again and report back with my observations regarding his interception
We need the leg length stat on each card now then 😂 explains Wan-Bissaka and Rudiger being a nightmare to play against and obviously Viera. Great video Pepe 👍🏻
Time to renew the contracts for my legendary Vieira, my OG NC Rudiger and Campbell(will add skills). I've been playing with players below 185cm in height all this while 😂 So, we can agree to the fact that tall players will be able to cover more ground spaces for interceptions( with interception skill added) right? Do you think its a good idea to bring back my old Zakaria(expired) for Casemiro as my main dmf? The other thing I'm so concerned about is the player skills. Will a short player(
I think that's the idea, yeah. In my opinion, if a player has longer legs (assuming he also has great defensie stats), he'll be able to intercept passes from a bit further away. I'm not sure I have seen the legendary Vieira in a while, but I guess he's fine😀 Don't worry, while it is good to have better interceptors especially in defensive midfield, I'm still using Costacurta who isn't as tall as other defenders and neither has a good leg length, but he has still rarely ever let me down. Stats still matter, and defenders win many balls through other means than interceptions like tacklings, ground or aerial duels😁 I for example also use Thuram, who is too new to be in the spreadsheet so I don't even know his leg length. I'd assume it's probably good because he's doing amazing, but the majority of the time he wins balls it's not by interceptions, but by outpositioning, outrunning or tackling the opponent, as well as aerial duels. I think another reason why defensive midfielders are a bit more important to be good interceptors than defenders is because defenders usually mark opponents, so they're near the forward and therefore also near where the ball could go. Defensive midfielders, especially when your opponent is countering and hasn't got many players up yet, often occupy free space with no direct but several spread out passing targets, making it beneficial to have that little extra interception range. I've played with both Zakaria (POTW) and Casemiro (GP) for quite a while, and would definitely give it to Zakaria. In case you haven't heard about it yet, contracts are being removed and we're getting a compensation (although I don't expect much😁) for the remaining ones we have, so unless it's urgent for you or you really want to play these players, you could wait it out until they become available automatically again. Headers are a bit of a gamble anyway, not only do the supposedly weaker players win it more often than expected, you can also manipulate them in your favor, for example by super canceling yourself into the better position, or by using a stunning cross with a good defender, which will if you dose it correctly many times seem a bit too short, which will result in both your forward and the defender having to run back a bit for it, but the defender will rarely ever get into a position where he can contest the header, essentially granting your forward a free header.
@@PESPepe Wow! Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. I decided to look beyond the forthcoming contract removal and renew the likes of Rudiger and the old GP L. Hernandez. That's just to deal with the crazy pace and all other factors I'm facing from my opponent in my local competition. One thing people do not really understand is the player ID. Yes, the stats are there but I believe the player ID plays a huge role in this game.

hi m8.. i came across Costa Dmc in your previous videos and since then G.Silva is in the reserve :)) and now this video.. according to what you explained it seems like G.Silva > Costacurta.. of course if i understood what you explained and the table correctly :)) also since i don't have Viera and Zakaria cards can you give me a suggestion? which one should i use from G.Silva - Costacurta - Saliba - Rudiger - Bissaka - Beckenb in the table?
Hello! I think Wan-Bissaka can't learn DMF because he's registered as a RB. Rüdiger could, he would probably be the best raw interceptor out of all of these, but the problem is that his passing and dribbling are so incredibly bad that I wouldn't use him because he'd be too unreliable doing anything other than defend/intercept. Initiating attacks is important pretty important as DMF. Saliba would be slightly better, but same problem. Out of the others, I'd probably rank Gilberto Silva a bit above Costacurta, but both of them clearly above Beckenbauer. Oh and if you use Costacurta in Long Ball Counter, don't forget to give him a defensive instruction. It's not needed for Gilberto Silva as he is an Anchor Man.
Yo pepe, wanted to ask you about top 5 defenders/cbs creme de la creme in the game? without including (araujo), Do you think the new showtime van dijk is also in top 5? Who is the best defensive rb by order in the game : thuram, bergomi, bissaka or ferrer? And who is the best anchor man (without including rijkaard) in order : casemiro, edmilson or gilberto silva? Thanks a lot!
Hey! For the most part, there isn't really a difference between CB and RB/LB in terms of player type because in the current META, you'd put the same kind of player there unless you play my old 4-4-2 LBC formation with the fullback finisher option or indominators newest QC/Possession 4-4-2 that he qualified for the world championship with. It's hard to say which ones are the best as we all play differently, but here's how I feel: I've played quite a bit of Thuram and he is absolutely amazing. In my opinion, possibly the best defender in the game right now, I've never had Araújo though, but played against him, and he was extremely valuable. Without including the latter, the best CB/RB options right now are probably Thuram, Bergomi, Tomiyasu, Wan-Bissaka. Costacurta is also great, but I'd probably put him a bit below at least Thuram and Bergomi, possibly also the other 2. I've also played Fortress Zakaria as CB and he was fine. Hope I didn't forget any. Always a very subjective take though, other players might feel different, be aware of that. I don't have most of the epic players like Maldini, Nesta or Cannavaro for example, making it hard to rate them without having played with or against them a lot. Same goes for most of the anchor men. I'd put Fortress Zakaria as a clear #1 here though. If you play LBC, a box to box/destroyer Vieira with a defensive instruction will probably outshine most of the other anchor men. I think I've only ever come across the best Casemiro card like once or twice, hard to give an accurate impression, same for Edmilson. Gilberto Silva however I faced quite often, he was always very good.
@@azimages2538 Hey! There are no GP versions of Thuram and Bergomi. As for Tomiyasu & Wan-Bissaka, their GP versions should be alright, but I haven't seen them in a long time.
My Makelele and edmilson are great at interceptions. i always thought edmilson was because of his body type in the game. he's tall and long with long legs.
Never played with or against Edmilson, so hard to rate him for me😁, but I agree, tall + long legs makes great interceptors! Makélélé might not be as tall, but 13 leg length makes him intercept a lot better than his height would suggest💪

Io ci sono arrivato provando tanti giocatori e facendoli personalizzati. Tipo Pogba .. intercetta tantissimo . Ho subito pensato che la chiave erano le lunghe leve delle gambe. Come per i portieri l'altezza sui tiri al secondo palo... Questo video è la conferma sul mio interpretare la questione. Grazie bro
Grazie per il tuo commento, sono felice che il video sia utile. Spero che tu possa capire la mia risposta, usando un traduttore😀 Per i portieri, non sono sicuro di quali parti del corpo siano importanti o siano più importanti, poiché esistono anche l’altezza delle spalle e la lunghezza delle braccia.
Excelente conteúdo!!! Obrigado por compartilhar esses conhecimentos. Em um momento oportuno você poderia falar sobre as habilidades controladas pela AI, por exemplo "Malandro", Rápido como uma bala", "Drible veloz", por mais que na descrição da Konami faça parece que são habilidades utilizadas pela AI, penso que interferi quando nós estamos manipulando os jogadores
I’ve been having some thoughts recently. I find that some of my players are slow to find space in any direction when they’re off the ball and I’m trying to find a passing option, and I started looking at my CMs and many of them have low attacking awareness. It makes me wonder, if we were to build all of our players in attacking awareness would we end up with a team that constantly finds space
Eu penso que esta muito atrelado ao estilo de jogo, um orquestrador irá procurar espaço de forma horizontal, um armador criativo também, já um infiltrador ou artilheiro irá correr mais verticalmente

@@mettl__i it's available in the efootball files, i got to know thier location when i tried to edit players ratings in offline. Someone took the information and put it in a spread sheet, it's probably the Chinese creator who did it.
I need help bro. I have the ambassador Messi 104 from last year. Which pack should I get I got the England one and Now it's between France And Argentina?
I think that depends on your team and your playstyle. If you like LBC you might think of going for France because not only can you field Griezmann & Messi then (if you get a new Messi, only 1 can play) and you'd have the best LBC manager. It really depends on who else is on your team and how you like to play, hard for me to estimate.
I actually checked all the popular GKs a while ago to find out just that, but it's hard to say for sure, it wasn't really conclusive. I think my hypothesis was that shoulder height + arm length are important, but I pretty much have no evidence for this, I think Schmeichel, who many people love, is pretty subpar in one of the stats, but I'm afraid I don't remember exactly.
Interesting thing is not every Vieira is so good lol I've tried many builds but still he just doesn't want the ball but my opponent's Vieira he's a god you cannot stop him and if you think it's a skill issue top 400 rating btw
@@nuntius1 92 acc lol but when they will bring back reset player progression I'll try, and also it's not only Vieira 🤣my potw Pedri has 70 defending and intercepts the ball better than defenders with 95+. I think it's not about builds, people call it scripting
Sure, it's 0-1-0-6-14-7-11. I wouldn't use it outside of quick counter though (possession could also work), and even with quick counter, there's a chance it's slightly too speed heavy. It works fine, but I might try a different one for the next reset. If you use long ball counter, go for 0-2-0-10-11-7-11 if you want the +3 manager boost on lofted pass (useful if you plan to open with him using stunning crosses directly to your forwards), if not, you could go for 0-0-0-10-11-8-11. At least that's what I'd suggest.
Since the beginning of EFootball Makelele for me is better than Vieira. Obviously he is smaller and have shorter legs, but his defensive awerness is better,better speed, better passing, better balance and tight possession... Vieira was always the "goat" for me before EFootball, but now he seems just like a big tree wo lose the ball all the time
Oh I just noticed that the owner made the spreadsheet private, there's nothing I can do unfortunately, have to respect his decision, since he put all the work in for us. Perhaps there'll be an updated one in the future👍
@@6kyee Hey! Amazing that you put in the work again, big thanks. I think TH-cam automatically removes it. Is it available on Reddit somewhere? People there would probably love having an updated one.
Hey! Haven't been on the PC much for a while, but I think a friend just sent me your new spreadsheet, just wanted to thank you very much for the work you've done again for us👍
He's obviously a bit weaker than the booster one due to lower stats, but the dimensions of this body should be the same, so he's still good without a doubt.
@@peapod5629 Hey! I've used box to box Zakaria for a long time, I think it's fine. If you play Long Ball Counter, put a defensive instruction on him to make sure he is always in place to intercept counter attacks. If you use Quick Counter, even anchor men as well as destroyers or no-style DMFs will move further up provided your attack takes long enough. You could also give him a defensive instruction here, which will make sure he won't move up too far further, meaning he'll be back faster. To be fair, if the enemy attacks quick enough he could still be too far up. If you have a too big gap between your defensive line and your midfield, you could even give 1 DMF (provided you have 2) a deep-line instruction, then he'll be covering of this space many times (if you've seen my Quick Counter vs Long Ball Counter video, it's shown there).
At the moment interception plays a very big role in efootball, but Konami can change that from one day to the next and they won't release it. Actually, it's no big secret that Vieira's player model and his octopus legs are the key to success. The problem is: you can't get a decent ZMF/DMF 5 Star Destroyer for GPs. In general, Konami is very reluctant to release good destroyers. AND - Vieira is also very expensive to buy because he has ended his career and you won't get a current card anymore. There is a "cheap" alternative: Tchouaméni (France Pack (1500 coins)) but he is an anchorman which doesn't mean much if you control him manually anyway. His advantage is that he is 188cm and has long legs too.
Heya! Yeah, pretty much😀Height is definitely a prerequisite. Harder to have long legs without being tall😁 Great height for example gets Van Buyten even higher up the spreadsheet despite having his leg length 3 values lower than Vieira. Tomiyasu (188) vs. Rüdiger (190) or Vieira (192) does highlight the importance of leg length though. Or Wan-Bissaka (183) for instance whose leg coverage diameter almost matches Araújo (188) and is quite a bit above Tomiyasu (188). You're absolutely right that height matters, in the full spreadsheet with all players, the top 2 players in terms of leg coverage diameter are Hudlin (206cm, 11 leg length) and Touré (206cm, 11 leg length). That alone obviously doesn't make anyone a good player though. Fun fact months ago, when trying to find out how important height actually is, I tested Touré and while he did have a great interception range, I quickly stopped using him because he was way too sluggish, like no match for any meta defender😁
He's tall (191), leg length slightly above average (8), he'd rank between Wan-Bissaka and Gilberto Silva, so definitely good to use, I still use the NC one myself as a sub.
Hey! I found one of them in the complete spreadsheet with leg length 9. The spreadsheet is a few months old though, so many of the new cards aren't included. I have no idea whether there's a newer version available. Usually, most cards keep having the same dimensions though. Wan-Bissaka is amazing, not only in terms of leg length (where he also has the maximum value of 14), but also in terms of stats and stat distribution. I'm still playing my ManU card of him today, awesome card. He's excelling defensively though, so you could use Ben White if you need a more offensive option.
Hey! Rijkaard is an interesting case (which was the reason why I didn't include him because I tried to keep it simple😁), because not all cards of him have the same dimensions.

For the most part, there isn't really a difference between CB and RB/LB in terms of player type because in the current META, you'd put the same kind of player there unless you play my old 4-4-2 LBC formation with the fullback finisher option or indominators newest QC/Possession 4-4-2 that he qualified for the world championship with.
It's hard to say which ones are the best as we all play differently, but here's how I feel: I've played quite a bit of Thuram and he is absolutely amazing. In my opinion, possibly the best defender in the game right now, I've never had Araújo though, but played against him, and he was extremely valuable.
Without including the latter, the best CB/RB options right now are probably Thuram, Bergomi, Tomiyasu, Wan-Bissaka. Costacurta is also great, but I'd probably put him a bit below at least Thuram and Bergomi, possibly also the other 2. I've also played Fortress Zakaria as CB and he was fine. Hope I didn't forget any. Always a very subjective take though, other players might feel different, be aware of that.
I don't have most of the epic players like Maldini, Nesta or Cannavaro for example, making it hard to rate them without having played with or against them a lot. Same goes for most of the anchor men. I'd put Fortress Zakaria as a clear #1 here though. If you play LBC, a box to box/destroyer Vieira with a defensive instruction will probably outshine most of the other anchor men.
I think I've only ever come across the best Casemiro card like once or twice, hard to give an accurate impression, same for Edmilson. Gilberto Silva however I faced quite often, he was always very good.
@@PESPepe Got it, thanks for your time Pepe ❤
@@PESPepe Thuram, Bergomi, Tomiyasu, Wan-Bissaka, are their GP versions any good? I am f2p so dont have any of their special cards
@@azimages2538 Hey! There are no GP versions of Thuram and Bergomi. As for Tomiyasu & Wan-Bissaka, their GP versions should be alright, but I haven't seen them in a long time.
everytime an update happens or new cards drop, I search your channel.
Wow, that's such a nice thing to say! Thank you💪
Which additional skills add to Zakaria?
I think good is to add Aerial superiority, Acrobatic cc, LL pass...
i had a vidal that is really good interceptor
Why is matheus not here... I think I'm gonna sub to your channel... I like your unusual content
Thanks! I tried not to select too many players to keep it short and easy.
My Makelele and edmilson are great at interceptions. i always thought edmilson was because of his body type in the game. he's tall and long with long legs.
Never played with or against Edmilson, so hard to rate him for me😁, but I agree, tall + long legs makes great interceptors! Makélélé might not be as tall, but 13 leg length makes him intercept a lot better than his height would suggest💪
Can you make a video on height and jump stats relationship then testing the (aerial superiority skill)
Does someone have a training for gp sakaria? I want to try it
Great vid 👍 But also really interesting what about Maldini, Nesta, Goretzka, Barrios, L. Hernandez
Thanks! There's a link in the description that leads to a reddit post pointing towards the spreadsheet, you can see all players you want there💪
why you didn't add Rijkaard in your spreadsheet? great video btw
Thanks!
Rijkaard is an interesting case (which was the reason why I didn't include him because I tried to keep it simple😁), because not all cards of him have the same dimensions. According to the database, the big time 28-year old orchestrator card has leg length 11 (leg coverage diameter 189.5), while all the others (that are available in the spreadsheet, which I think is like several months old or something, so newest cards are missing) have leg length 8 (184.9).
Where do we can find the spreadsheet?
Io ci sono arrivato provando tanti giocatori e facendoli personalizzati. Tipo Pogba .. intercetta tantissimo . Ho subito pensato che la chiave erano le lunghe leve delle gambe. Come per i portieri l'altezza sui tiri al secondo palo... Questo video è la conferma sul mio interpretare la questione. Grazie bro
????????
Grazie per il tuo commento, sono felice che il video sia utile. Spero che tu possa capire la mia risposta, usando un traduttore😀
Per i portieri, non sono sicuro di quali parti del corpo siano importanti o siano più importanti, poiché esistono anche l’altezza delle spalle e la lunghezza delle braccia.
Why is Rodri not on that list? The guy is 194 cm
Excelente conteúdo!!!
Obrigado por compartilhar esses conhecimentos.
Em um momento oportuno você poderia falar sobre as habilidades controladas pela AI, por exemplo "Malandro", Rápido como uma bala", "Drible veloz", por mais que na descrição da Konami faça parece que são habilidades utilizadas pela AI, penso que interferi quando nós estamos manipulando os jogadores
Obrigado!
I’ve been having some thoughts recently. I find that some of my players are slow to find space in any direction when they’re off the ball and I’m trying to find a passing option, and I started looking at my CMs and many of them have low attacking awareness. It makes me wonder, if we were to build all of our players in attacking awareness would we end up with a team that constantly finds space
yup
also depends on playstyle
Do it, it also increases acceleration which is also hugely beneficial
@@FuriousDave also depends on tactics chosen
Eu penso que esta muito atrelado ao estilo de jogo, um orquestrador irá procurar espaço de forma horizontal, um armador criativo também, já um infiltrador ou artilheiro irá correr mais verticalmente
Great Video, but what about Rijkaard? He must as good as Zakaria or?
probably
Thanks! Rijkaard is an interesting case (which was the reason why I didn't include him because I tried to keep it simple😁), because not all cards of him have the same dimensions. According to the database, the big time 28-year old orchestrator card has leg length 11 (leg coverage diameter 189.5), all others (that are in the spreadsheet, which I think is like a few months old or something, would have to look it up) have 8 (184.9).
Okay thanks, but this AC Milan, anchor man is also crazy good. So difficult to Pass by. How did this Person get the information?
Tackling must play a role here too. Rijkaard supposedly has worst tackling than Viera
@@mettl__i it's available in the efootball files, i got to know thier location when i tried to edit players ratings in offline. Someone took the information and put it in a spread sheet, it's probably the Chinese creator who did it.
My Vieira can intercept o.k but then he cant feckin pass and is slow to release the ball . Drops me in the shit so many times
I need help bro. I have the ambassador Messi 104 from last year. Which pack should I get I got the England one and Now it's between France And Argentina?
I think that depends on your team and your playstyle. If you like LBC you might think of going for France because not only can you field Griezmann & Messi then (if you get a new Messi, only 1 can play) and you'd have the best LBC manager. It really depends on who else is on your team and how you like to play, hard for me to estimate.
Also, is hand lenght important for gks?
I actually checked all the popular GKs a while ago to find out just that, but it's hard to say for sure, it wasn't really conclusive. I think my hypothesis was that shoulder height + arm length are important, but I pretty much have no evidence for this, I think Schmeichel, who many people love, is pretty subpar in one of the stats, but I'm afraid I don't remember exactly.
Interesting thing is not every Vieira is so good lol I've tried many builds but still he just doesn't want the ball but my opponent's Vieira he's a god you cannot stop him and if you think it's a skill issue top 400 rating btw
If you play lbc, Try 12 dexterity 4 speed 16 defending
@@nuntius1 92 acc lol but when they will bring back reset player progression I'll try, and also it's not only Vieira 🤣my potw Pedri has 70 defending and intercepts the ball better than defenders with 95+. I think it's not about builds, people call it scripting
Please can you help me to check burn leg length. The Newcastle defensive lb
It seems the spreadsheet is private right now, I can't access it either. Have to respect the owners decision👍
can you make a controller settings videos pls? thank you
I might do it in the future, but not sure yet. My controller settings are pretty unorthodox, not sure if it'd be useful for anyone😂
can you give me your current costacurta progression?
Sure, it's 0-1-0-6-14-7-11. I wouldn't use it outside of quick counter though (possession could also work), and even with quick counter, there's a chance it's slightly too speed heavy. It works fine, but I might try a different one for the next reset. If you use long ball counter, go for 0-2-0-10-11-7-11 if you want the +3 manager boost on lofted pass (useful if you plan to open with him using stunning crosses directly to your forwards), if not, you could go for 0-0-0-10-11-8-11. At least that's what I'd suggest.
Why Kante card only 60 physical
You have an accent but i just don't know what countrie's it is, can you tell me ?
If i would guess I would say Scandinavian or german
My first language is German😀
Since the beginning of EFootball Makelele for me is better than Vieira. Obviously he is smaller and have shorter legs, but his defensive awerness is better,better speed, better passing, better balance and tight possession...
Vieira was always the "goat" for me before EFootball, but now he seems just like a big tree wo lose the ball all the time
Is there a way to get access to the spreadsheet directly without asking access? Thanks
Oh I just noticed that the owner made the spreadsheet private, there's nothing I can do unfortunately, have to respect his decision, since he put all the work in for us. Perhaps there'll be an updated one in the future👍
@@PESPepeHey there is indeed a new version but the link gets deleted when I send it here
@@6kyee Hey! Amazing that you put in the work again, big thanks. I think TH-cam automatically removes it. Is it available on Reddit somewhere? People there would probably love having an updated one.
Hey! Haven't been on the PC much for a while, but I think a friend just sent me your new spreadsheet, just wanted to thank you very much for the work you've done again for us👍
Hi! So does this mean base legend vieira is also one of the best dmfs?
He's obviously a bit weaker than the booster one due to lower stats, but the dimensions of this body should be the same, so he's still good without a doubt.
@@PESPepe But is his playing style "box to box" actually viable for a dmf? He seems to usually be unable to recover in time for counters
@@peapod5629 Hey! I've used box to box Zakaria for a long time, I think it's fine. If you play Long Ball Counter, put a defensive instruction on him to make sure he is always in place to intercept counter attacks.
If you use Quick Counter, even anchor men as well as destroyers or no-style DMFs will move further up provided your attack takes long enough. You could also give him a defensive instruction here, which will make sure he won't move up too far further, meaning he'll be back faster. To be fair, if the enemy attacks quick enough he could still be too far up.
If you have a too big gap between your defensive line and your midfield, you could even give 1 DMF (provided you have 2) a deep-line instruction, then he'll be covering of this space many times (if you've seen my Quick Counter vs Long Ball Counter video, it's shown there).
@@PESPepe Ah I see! Thanks for the assistance! Keep up the excellent content
@@peapod5629 Thanks, you're welcome😀
At the moment interception plays a very big role in efootball, but Konami can change that from one day to the next and they won't release it.
Actually, it's no big secret that Vieira's player model and his octopus legs are the key to success. The problem is: you can't get a decent ZMF/DMF 5 Star Destroyer for GPs. In general, Konami is very reluctant to release good destroyers. AND - Vieira is also very expensive to buy because he has ended his career and you won't get a current card anymore.
There is a "cheap" alternative: Tchouaméni (France Pack (1500 coins)) but he is an anchorman which doesn't mean much if you control him manually anyway. His advantage is that he is 188cm and has long legs too.
I have the last madrid potw tchouameni destroyer and he is an absolute beast even tought his defensive stats are not so high
True that, my next best DMF/CMF destroyer is GP Vidal, that's how rare they are😀
Its his long legs rt? Height matters
Facts players like rodri , tchouameni , amadou onana , Zakaria are good subsitutes
Heya! Yeah, pretty much😀Height is definitely a prerequisite. Harder to have long legs without being tall😁 Great height for example gets Van Buyten even higher up the spreadsheet despite having his leg length 3 values lower than Vieira.
Tomiyasu (188) vs. Rüdiger (190) or Vieira (192) does highlight the importance of leg length though. Or Wan-Bissaka (183) for instance whose leg coverage diameter almost matches Araújo (188) and is quite a bit above Tomiyasu (188).
You're absolutely right that height matters, in the full spreadsheet with all players, the top 2 players in terms of leg coverage diameter are Hudlin (206cm, 11 leg length) and Touré (206cm, 11 leg length). That alone obviously doesn't make anyone a good player though.
Fun fact months ago, when trying to find out how important height actually is, I tested Touré and while he did have a great interception range, I quickly stopped using him because he was way too sluggish, like no match for any meta defender😁
@@PESPepeEvery player from my 11 is short (less than 190) exept the gk 🥺
Can you give me Vieira best training progression bro ?
Hey! I don't remember it out of my head, I'll let you know the next time I'm in the game!

do you know the leg lenth for ben white?
i want to compare it with my bissaka to know who to start
Hey! I found one of them in the complete spreadsheet with leg length 9. The spreadsheet is a few months old though, so many of the new cards aren't included. I have no idea whether there's a newer version available. Usually, most cards keep having the same dimensions though.
Wan-Bissaka is amazing, not only in terms of leg length (where he also has the maximum value of 14), but also in terms of stats and stat distribution. I'm still playing my ManU card of him today, awesome card. He's excelling defensively though, so you could use Ben White if you need a more offensive option.
