97 FUTTIES Stam In-Game Performance

System-dependent, but solid

Stam behaves as a real anchor. In deeper defensive lines or drop-back formations, he's a wall. He dominates one-on-one matches, bullies top-tier attackers off the ball, and his defensive AI handles nearly all of the heavy lifting - positioning, auto blocks, and last-ditch tackles are all spot on.

However, his drawbacks in agility and response are visible. He is not the sort of CB you want pressing high or chasing down fast turns. If you manually defend or prefer proactive pressing, Stam may feel reluctant compared to cards like FUTTIES Lacroix or TOTY Militão.

What He Does Well

• He has outstanding power and physical domination, which means no one is forcing him off the ball.
• High AI interceptions and position, particularly in arranged defenses.
• Under pressure, keep composure and pass promptly from the back.

Where He Falls Short

• He suffers against agile dribblers because of his clumsy turning ability.
• There is no offensive upside; it will not add to buildup or overlaps.
• Not ideal for many playstyles. He struggles in high-pressing or ultra-fluid systems.

Recommended Use Case & Chem Style

Chem Style:

• Use Shadow to increase pace and defend more effectively.
• Anchor if you prefer physicality and overall coverage.

Best Pairing:

Stam works best with a flexible CB, such as Cordoba, FUTTIES Lúcio, or a  Varane-type.

Tactical Fit:

It works best in formations like as 5-3-2, 4-2-3-1 (Drop Back), or systems with controlled buildup and low defensive lines.

Tips: Use his Hero chemistry to make hybrid teams. His connections to Dutch players and Serie A make him flexible for squad-building, particularly in Eredivisie or Icon-heavy teams.

If you're the sort of player who prefers power over pace and values stability at the back, Stam is a perfect match for you.

He isn't showy. He does not score. He will not recover like VVD or glide like Ramos. But when it comes to locking the box, he still does the job.

Stam isn't for everyone, but if he meets your needs, you won't need anybody else.

Reducing the Cost of the SBC

Saved untradeable packs and Weekend League rewards help offset the cost of this SBC. When it's not enough, to a trusted FUT coins supplier is often the quickest method to complete the challenges and get back into the game.
