82 - IF
So I have been a fan of Fellaini on FIFA for a while now. I always love to have a giant midfield that has a great aerial presence, and well, Marouane Fellaini is well deserving of his tree nickname. He is absolutely HUGE, he has a billion physical and will never miss a header. I have him as a box to box CM next to IF Tolisso and Pogba, and I can say that even though the other are respectively 3x and 10x more expensive than him, he definitely is not out of place. On corners he is deadly, he has the shot power to pull off shots inside the box (wouldn't try longshots, but might work sometimes), and his passing is acceptable (I run hinm with a powerhouse CS since his pace is unsaveable and he doesn't need more physical). He has over 300 games for me and isn't likely to go soon.
- Strength (will literally push off anyone in a physical battle)
- Shooting (he will generally finish when presented with a chance)
- Headers (deadly on corners and will always win from the kickoff)
- Defending (long legs, big body, nuff said)
- Passing (99 short passing with powerhouse)
- Pace (53 pace... but honestly depending on your playstyle isn't an issue. He has good positioning and will catch up strikers when they try to dribble and simply shrug them off the ball)
- Passing without an appropriate chem style can be improved, would recommend boosting
- Stamina after the 90th minute can be a problem since he will then be uber slow, but simply having someone like bakayoko (who is around 2k these days) is great for an extra time change
