A Tribute to TOTS Matt Doherty: Not the Fullback We Wanted, But the One We Deserved.

Like abounding of you, if I completed the Premier Alliance Guaranteed TOTS SBC, I had top hopes. Searching at my aggregation at the time, I could accept benefited from about any position of cheap FIFA 20 Coins.

I dreamed of packing Auba or Laca to fufill my dreams of landing a top rated Arsenal player. Hell, I would accept been accomplished with a Wijnaldum or Laporte.

But as some of you may accept experienced, I was hardly aghast if I saw the Irish banderole arise and Matt Doherty absolved out. I already had Flashback Juanfran in my band and RB was the alone position I didn't need. I anticipation to myself, Why does FIFA accumulate fucking me over?

But I ample I would accumulate him as a anniversary of my Irish ancestry and in case I anytime capital to do an all Prem squad. He was an absolute affiliate of Club 80 afterwards all; he had to be appropriate right?

Wrong. He was added than decent. He's apparently the additional best fullback I've acclimated all game. The man can do anything: shoot, cross, physique defenders.

Every bold I played with him, that disappointment of packing him boring diminished. This agenda wasn't boilerplate or decent. Doherty was great! And he fit into my aggregation perfectly!

Eventually, I fabricated him a abiding affiliate of my squad. If Flashback Firmino came out the aboriginal time around, I knew I had to get him behindhand of how abounding bill or cards I had in my club.

This meant I had to cede Flashback Juanfan, who is apparently the best fullback I've acclimated all year, into Firmino's SBC. It was a apricot goodbye, but I knew his position would be in acceptable easily with Doherty.

Dirty Doherty has been a basic in my band aback then. If Flashback Dani Alves re-released, I anticipation he would hardly bend aloft Doherty in the aggregation sheet.

But alas, Dani could not avert and boost off defenders as able-bodied as Doherty and eventually I submitted the Brazilian into an SBC (don't get me wrong, Alves is a abundant amateur and appealing abundant can play anywhere on the bend in this game, but he's not the best defender).

So acclaim to you Matt Doherty. Acknowledge you for defying my expectations. Acknowledge you for accepting a bedrock in my band aback May. And acknowledge you for accepting a Swiss army knife of a amateur that I can await on bold in and bold out.
