New End of an Era Items
The 14th 'Premium SBC' of the game has dropped today with a 96-rated Bonucci! The center-back comes with 4 Playstyle's+ and at least on paper looks incredible!
If only there was a high-rated version of Chiellini in the game he would have been the perfect partner...since that wasn't an option I decided to put End of an Era Thiago Silva alongside him to see how the two compare.
I was torn when deciding on a chemistry style due to the pace split shown in Bonucci's attributes it was a case of either closing the pace split by using Catalyst and having a 'controlled lengthy' player or keeping the wide pace split and having a 'mostly lengthy' player by going for anchor, in the end, I tested both and to be honest I preferred Catalyst...but the difference was minimal.

The following SBC's need to be completed to unlock Leonardo Bonucci:

How did he perform in the game?
This review is going to sound quite similar to the Thiago Silva review to be honest because aside from the pace, everything else is super positive!
+ Tackling, this was brilliant as soon as he got near someone I was confident of a tackle, his slide tackling in particular impressed me!
+ Positioning, right place, right time kind of defender, he naturally was positioned well to make blocks and interceptions!
+ Passing, Bonucci was great for playing out from the back and that long ball playstyle allowed for him to ping passes wherever he pleased.
+ Heading, in the air Bonucci was top class, whether it be defensive or offensive, Aerial+ and Power Header, and a great combination.
So as mentioned above it's all very positive... and at this stage of the game with items being so highly upgraded to find differences between top-end items you have to be harsh and the only minor issue with this card is that pace split which is noticeable in-game, explosive forwards can beat Bonucci with a boost. Bonucci is quick once he gets going but it can take him a yard or two to get to his top sprint speed.
It's an elite level center back option and given the price I don't think there is anything to complain about here, but even been an elite option there are things that would have made the item slightly better: a smaller pace split gap and anticipate+ for examples, but we are being incredibly picky here!
End of an Era Thiago Silva is better than this Bonucci in-game, but it's still a great item and I'm sure it'll do a great job for most people's teams!
