How He Feels In-Game
Pace
One of his biggest strengths.
Cole is incredibly fast, and his acceleration allows him to catch up to even the quickest wingers like Vini or Raphinha. He recovers position very quickly and feels smooth when tracking back during counters.
Defending
This is where he truly shines.
His tackling is very clean and consistent. He rarely commits fouls and is extremely reliable in 1v1 situations.
He uses his body well to pressure attackers and win the ball back effectively, making him one of the best defensive LBs in FC Mobile.
Passing
His passing is excellent for a full-back.
He can deliver accurate crosses into the box and play reliable short passes during build-up. He’s useful both defensively and when supporting attacks.
Positioning
This is his only noticeable issue.
Due to high/high work rates and an aggressive playstyle, he can sometimes be caught out of position during fast counter-attacks. You may need to manually track back or pair him with a defensive setup.
Physicality
Decent but not elite.
He can handle most situations, but stronger attackers may overpower him in certain duels.
Weakness
Can be out of position due to aggressive High/High work rates
Physicality is decent but not strong against powerful attackers
