Ideal mix, I'm using Beckham at CAM with Van Boomen & Mak at CdM's, but Gerrard is on bench. He really gives your other midfielders more time on the ball, just don't expect barnstorming box runs or breakaway Defense splitting passes. This is the intercept & retain possession player.

He is better defensively & feels very similar to Matthaus but does not have the attacking traits. If you need a stay back midfielder as part of a three then yes- but in a two man box to box, Matthaus still probably stronger.

So at 800k, I did him. For those who are complaining around the lack of passing playstyles- This is not the choice for a two man midfield. But in a three man midfield as a stay back CDM with aggressive, centre & cut passing lanes- wow- he just constantly steals the ball back & then the 5* WF means you can lay the ball off to an attacker or hold up for a defender to run onto. Feels bigger than Kante at 5'9 and mure muscular- plays defensively like TOTY Matheus but without the attacking attributes. I found my pressing line is much higher up the pitch & interception rates have doubled. Like the real player- you won't notice him much in game but you will notice when he's not in your team, if he suits your playstyle.
