As of now, Smalling only possesses an 82-rated common gold card with no PlayStyles+. However, the potentially upcoming card will be 87-rated and have a Bruiser+ playstyle, making him fit into the meta more.
While the special item is uncertain, players can upgrade the base common gold card via Acrobatic Star evolution to turn it into an 87-rated solid CB with flashy attributes like 58 Pace, 85 Defending, and 82 Physicality.
