Player Review
82 - Normal
Packed him in an untradeable two player pack and he’s always been in my team, either on the bench or in the starting lineup. Now he’s starting because I need a link to batsuhayi and he’s very good (probably would use kdb if i had the coins). I play him as LCM in 4312 because I want to be able to attempt power long shots on his strong foot (they are decent, but definitely not nainggolan-esque). I put an engine card because it’s my go-to chem style for CM and because he already has decent shot for a cm and very high strength.
He’s also very tall and has a very smooth dribbling with engine (like irl to be honest, which is what i love about dembele in real life and on fifa). Very good passing, decent pace, very good in bullying players off the ball. Never actually had too much problems with stamina presumably because of his conservative workrates, although sometimes i sub him (it's either him or fernandinho) off for goretzka or moussa sissoko around the 75th minute. Strong presence in the midfield (also decent at heading), not the best card but he’s very cheap and he’s very good. Also I think he should be higher rated because in real life he’s a superb player.
i don't feel like playing him cdm cause he has low aggression and interception so he wont make a huge defensive output to be worth a cdm spot. there are much better options in the bpl.
League and price
Strength and height
Dribbling feels very smooth, it’s very pleasing to use him
Pace
Passing
Always reliable
Low stamina
Could have had better long shots
does not produce intense defensive work (low aggression and interception), but i don't want him to do it because he's not siuted and i have fabinho doing the dirty work
