Player Review
86 - SIF
I'd been looking at this card for the past couple of weeks, weighing up if I should buy him or not. I've bought Nainggolan countless times over the years, but the past couple of seasons he's seemed a bit off which made me hesitant. I was also running with a Bundesliga team with lots of untradeable players which was performing really well for me. Buying Nainggolan would mean I'd have to totally switch up my line up. Then one night I got drunk and just went for it. I haven't made many good choices whilst drunk, but buying Nainggolan was definitely a wise move. He's revolutionized my game. He seems to intercept everything, he's strong enough to knock players off the ball, has good enough passing to set you on your way and has a rocket of a right foot going forward. He plays as CDM in a diamond, but sometimes it feels like there's two CDM's with him on the pitch. His stamina levels are crazy and he just keeps going. I had some reservations about his pace, but I put a shadow on him and he zips around like he's on speed and never tires. If you can fit him in your team I highly recommend him
Defending : Stops everything, intercepts everything. He's as good as Kante or Essien
Shooting: Get him on the edge of the box and watch those rockets find the top corner
Stamina: Never stops running
Strength: He's like a tank
Passing: Suprisingly good despite only being 82. His short passing always seems to find a team mate
Skills : Sometimes I wish he was at least 4 star so I didn't have to rely on his brute strength to get past players
Weak foot : Not too bad, but under pressure his left foot can let him down sometimes
Pace : Put a shadow chem style negates that
