Christopher Samba

[Paddy]

could his defensive rating not go up? he's improved over the last year and so has his positioning.

'Better defender than the stats suggest, certainly. He's got better at reading the game.

Yup....

[bitz]

Has he been played as a SB? He would look quite out of place there with such physique.

Certainly not at Blackburn, no. He has only played CB for Rovers apart from occasionally as an extra CF when chasing a game (this is also a role he ended up in quite often while at Hertha Berlin apparently).

[BiG TeL]

I suggest 81 for Defence.

And agree deleting SB.

[pikathunder]

Can we add CF? He played CF role today and second half of the match last week against Spurs.

[UTDFAN94]

technique could use an increase seems to be quite good at trapping
i would agree with the CF position as he has played their a good few times this season

[kendees]

Yes, as there has been already said, Samba CAN plays like a CF, quite well and he definitely needs some changes. Firstly, a bit higher attack to be more usefull in-game as a CF. Slight decrease in Defence, coz I think he is quite decent here.
Sum up:
Attack: 63-65
Defence: 81

[Spaceman]

Defense 82 is what I'd go for. Really solid defender imo

yes, agree

[vicecity]

Ive given him CF in my game as he has been playing there, I dont think he should have SB either, also hes 25 now.

[Nrby]

I don't no people about the CF thing ... it was pretty much a disparate measure similar to what Terry had been doing at Chelsea some seasons ago at the end of losing matches ... but i have to say I was impressed by his performance ... he was in the box for every ball and and mostly a threat ... but that must be because of his immense presence ... he was rarely dangerous himself but created a lot of dangerous situations

[Milanista_99]

Me too.

[vicecity]

I only give him the position because in real life he is being used there at times. If in the game he doesnt have the position he will never play there so for the time being I give it to him.

I agree.

[Vandeach]

I agree to attack, so I'll update that but I'm still not so sure about defence. His positioning can be poor at times and I think a lot of Prem defenders go into the yellows far too easily. I could see it being 80 but he does have a very good balance and decent response already.

[deity86]

Did you update his Attack in the end?

Also, I know a 73 for Technique is decent for a CB but as has been said he's got a very tidy 1st touch. I'd say easily on par with the likes of Toure and Terry who sit on a 75.

Position: CB*, CF

CF??? or DM??
