Oops! Defender Dante is actually responsible for blocking, but now FIFA 23 has released a card that allows him to score goals.
Bundesliga fans will surely remember Dante. The Brazilian played in the Bundesliga from 2009 to 2016: first at Gladbach, then at FC Bayern Munich and VfL Wolfsburg.
He didn’t score too many goals during that time, but he wasn’t primarily responsible for that. Dante made a name for himself as a strong defender. In 2016, he moved to the French top club OGC Nice, where Dante plays to this day.
Even in FIFA 23, Dante isn’t exactly a goal threat – at least so far. However, that could change with a new, crazy card.
What kind of card is this? In Ultimate Team, there is now an “Out of Position” card for the former Bundesliga defender that places him directly in the attack. It has significantly improved stats, specifically designed for Dante to play more offensively.
Only the defensive stats took a slight hit, otherwise there were major, noticeable upgrades. This results in a powerful Lengthy striker, who also boasts a weak foot rated at 5 stars.
Ironically, the usually slow defender Dante could now attack your opponents’ defensive lines like Haaland. He is otherwise among the slowest players in the game.
How do you get the card? Dante is available through an SBC consisting of 2 parts.
- A team with an 83 rating and at least 1 player from Brazil
- A team with an 84 rating and at least 1 player from Ligue 1
This SBC is quite easy to complete and should cost hardly any coins if you can use some unused players from your club. Not even chemistry requirements or special cards are needed.
It only gets a bit pricier if you have to buy all the required players for the challenge fresh. On futbin, the SBC is valued at around 70,000 coins in total – but this should be significantly reducible with SBC fodder from the club.
What players are saying: The Dante card is well received in the community, such as on the FIFA subreddit. While it’s not an overly strong card, it’s still good and, above all, unusual, a bit crazy card.
- “GG EA. Cheap, easy to build, 5-star weak foot, sounds like a fun card,” says one user (via reddit).
- “With a Hunter, he is rated 93 [as a striker], plus Lengthy, plus 5-star weak foot, plus 92 Composure,” another adds (via reddit).
- “You almost have to do him, with Hunter he is a 93-rated striker and Lengthy. Damn!” (via reddit).
- “What the hell, what a beast” (via reddit).
The price is also praised. Since the card is cheap to obtain, some players can imagine calling Dante onto the field.
Many also see him as a very good midfielder if you pull him back to the center during the game. There, he could shine with his stats.
Is Dante also something for you? Let us know in the comments! Otherwise, the current Fantasy FUT event is running in FIFA 23.
