What's so wrong with Cole?

I've been looking at the options for icon swaps, and Cole looks an excellent choice.

There wasn't much love for him initially, but now that the "hate on EA no matter what" reflex is out the way, how do people feel about him?

Looks great to me!

    He just doesn’t standout in game, it’s like the TOTYN Robertson card, great stats but cheaper and lower rated players play better.

    Problem is players like mendy at 10k r just better. Your better to upgrade another position

    Is Mendy better? Stats look heavily in favour of Cole. Anyone used him?

    If not Cole who is a better lb without breaking the bank?

    I’ve had prime Cole for a month and he is much better than mendy! Don’t get me wrong 700k is a lot for a LB but he is definitely a great player. It comes down to whether you want your swaps for a different player (like mid blanc) or whether you don’t need to upgrade other areas

    Robertson is the best lb in the game IMO aside from Carlos and zam.

    Well, Mendy has a unique body type which elevates a player above his stats.

    Also, its whether you put an importance on key defensive stats. Technically Cashley should be a million times better at positioning himself than Mendy but in my experience these stats are all very trivial. I personally am always manually moving my defenders where possible so there's not a huge amount of time where these defensive stats can actually make the difference if you don't defend alot like me. I'm usually camped in my opponents half trying to score a goal and get done on the counter attack so fast defenders are more important than those with high defensive stats.

    I use a 352 and am contemplating getting Cashley to play at LCB. He looks like he'd be fantastic there.

    I’m really thinking about Cole and Deco. I know they aren’t end game but I they could be solid until late May. My luck is just awful and packs don’t seem like a smart idea, I’d rather two decent icons than one ❤️❤️❤️❤️ one.

    Same here.

    Still undecided but Cole is an improvement to Mendy and makes Rooney easier to link.
  • If it was his moments, I think people would be more interested imo
  • I packed Base Cole in 1st swap packs..run a English side... would it make sense to do the prime to replace

    the only downside for me is that he doesn't feel that good on the ball as I like to use full backs to beat the high pressure Iam not saying he is bad on the ball but he is not great , aside from that he is perfect very good passing great defending great pace can keep up with anybody on the wing

    the other thing is that Cole is really the best option in this swaps , in swaps 1 I went for an icon pack as most of them was an upgrade to my team , but now the odds that you get a better player than Cole in your pack is so low
