88 - Normal

Casemiro - best CDM in the game?
By Handley, 28-12-2018

What can i say about this man, he is absolutely incredible. If you are looking for a player to dominate and stop all attackers in their tracks he is your man. Since i purchased him i lost just one game in div rivals. This guy has medium-high work rates and as a result he actually stays back like you tell him too. Anyway i shall now dissect his base stats.


I had tried Matuidi and he was good but his work rates let him down, this is what sets Casemiro apart from others.


Pace


6.5/10:

Now you may think that with 62 pace this would be his downfall and is probably the only thing holding you back from getting this guy. Firstly i've learnt pace really isn't necessary for a CDM. When you slap a hunter on this guy his pace goes upto 75 which is more then plenty.




Shooting


6/10

This stat really isn't too important for a CDM, but 69 is pretty good, i wouldn't take on many shots with him but if it comes down to it, the guy will finish his dinner. As for heading from corners this guy is good too.



Passing



8/10

He has great passing, his vision, short and long passing stats are great and because of his strength u'll find he actually gets a lot of assists. His lob through balls are actually strangely effective so try and exploit balls over.



Dribbling


7/10

Realistically as a CDM agility doesn't matter the crucial CDM stats are reactions, ball control and composure. All of which he has high stats - this just adds to his superb defensive ability, especially ball control and reactions which are both 84. Because of Casemiro's dribbling stats he is yet to make any era what so ever in defence or midfield



Defending


10/10

I cannot stress just how good he is at defending his height, tackling and strength makes him a god send defensively, his interceptions and pressure are fantastic. He always puts in a vital tackle or block. He is an absolute nuisance for attackers and makes oppositions rage so hard. His positioning is spot on too. Casemiro works best when you control him whilst holding A and Left trigger to jockey and bring a second man for help, to apply pressure for Casemiro to rob the opponent. Honestly the only time you ever concede is when you cannot take control of him in time or if you accidently drag him out of position - he is honestly that good!



Physical


10/10

Yeah this guys strenght is unbelievable he just boshes every attacker, you use him and watch him delete Lukaku instantly. As for stamina he'll run for days to be honest, i get worried when i take him off. His jumping is unreal - he wins every header.



Get this man now! He's only 37k and he'll change your life just remeber to put stay back while attacking on him, use a shadow or catalyst chem style and only use this guy at CDM.


ENJOY!

Don't Underestimate Him!

Go up to the top and look at Casemiro's stats for a minute, then come back to this review...Yes, so his stats are very average, and despite being 88 rated, he has 87 defending, and 88 physical, and everything else is 75 or below.

Best CDM I've used all year

First off, I got this card because I invested in the league 4 months ago and he seemed much better than Aspas, and I can confirm after using him that he's the perfect CDMCan be used for anything deeper than CM (deep-lying playmaker/strong defensive CDM/even CB)He has been outplaying whoever I used as his partner in CDM, whether that is Prime Keane, Prime Rijkaard, Gold Pogba, SBC DoucoureHe was constant...

Top CDM

This guy is a brick wall! He may look a little slow but I have never conceded because of his lack of pace, I used him in 30WL matches and a few div3 rivals games.He's not a great finisher from inside the box, but his green timed longshots can be really effectiveI have also Kante, Fabinho, Makelele, UEL live Kondogbia and IF Fernandinho. I would say the Makelele is the best but Casemiro c...
