Bart Vriends 66

Bart Vriends is a Silver CB in EA SPORTS FC 27 Ultimate Team, rated 66 overall. He is listed at Adelaide United in the Isuzu UTE A League, with a Holland nation link. His standout trait is physicality, with 80 PHY and 85 strength, which makes him a solid option for a back line that needs to win duels.

He suits a central defender spot in a defensive or back-three setup, where his Defender role and 64 DEF give him a reliable base. Aerial Fortress, along with 70 jumping and 64 heading accuracy, makes him a useful target for aerial defending and crosses into the box. Keep in mind his pace of 47 and his low passing and dribbling mean he is better as a stopper than a ball-playing defender, and his 27 in long shots and crossing rules out using him for set pieces or distribution.

This card is for players who want a physical, aerial centre-back on a budget and are building a defence around sturdy duelling rather than pace or passing.
