88 - IF
5.0
Steady as a rock
By Futtactics, 27-11-2017

Fut players always notice it when the notorious vidal gets an IF card. Sure his normal card is a great card but he always has one problem that keeps him from being a perfect midfielder and that is his passing.


Still, his passing is not on the level as nainggolan, It is better, and it's also the reason why I prefer vidal over nainggolan, Even nainggolans first upgrade doesn't fix his mediocre vision stat, and since vidal's vision and passing stats werent that bad in the first place, an inform card puts him in spot where you can trust him with anything, especially when you put a chemistry style on him that boosts his passing, like I do with all my midfielders.


I make the comparison with nainggolan because the similarities are obvious, they are both fast midfielders with a lot of defensive capabilities, a lot of stamina, a good shot and high/high workrates. Nianggolan is still considerably faster though, and he has better dribbling as well, making him able to even dribble some defenders. He also has 90 attack positioning which makes him very good on the attack. It's also the reason why a lot of people will prefer nainggolan over vidal, of course his belgian nationality and league will have something to do with it as well.


But if you're on the quest for this type of midfielder vidal is a much better choice, not only for his passing, but also for his size and heading. Vidal is not only bigger, he also has more jumping and more heading accuracy. His shooting is better too, since he has 4 star weak foot (naingoglan has 3). Don't forget vidal has more agression and a better standing tackle as well, which means he's just better at stealing the ball.

Naingolan will still get there faster though.


But he speed isn't much of an issue, I mean if it's really a problem just boost it with a chemistry style. Vidal's attack position is 82 so it's good enough. These are only minor disadvantages compared to naingolan, Vidal's passing, shooting, heading and ball stealing capalities make him a much more consistent player. In the beginning you won't notice he's there because he doesn't make any mistakes. He steals the ball when he should,scores when he should and makes a decent pass when he should.


It's only after a while that you will realize that the position vidal is on that it is his turf. He's simply boss, you'll see players trying to outpass him but vidal will intercept, he will win headers, he will make nasty trough balls, retain the ball, or just steal it back when he loses it because of his high agression. He's also great at long shots and even his finishing is quite good for a center midfielder.


Did I mention he will score headers?

Well Rounded Fantastic Card

This card is amazing. It makes the game so much easier. When he isn't playing (Injury or Red Card) I find it much harder to play. He is the perfect midfielder to link the defence and attack. He is what I'd describe as a Flea. He pesters the life out of opposition midfielders and attackers when they're in possesion. He doesn't stop running and is so strong so they struggle to be comortable in possession. He has great positio...

Are there any better?

I have used him multiple times in multiple FUT champ runs, and you always notice his presence. I use him in an excellent midfield along with Pogba at RCM and Kante at CDM. He pairs up incredibly well with David Alaba at LB, who I also recommend. He is faster than suggested, unless he is in a race with someone incredibly fast, he'll be able to shield them off and keep the ball. He is good on the ball, a better dribbler than ...

The Machine

This player can definitely afford to play the first ball, in a positional attack, to try to shoot from behind the penalty area, and above all, you can be sure of easy and pleasant ball pick. This player can also play a perpendicular run to the runner or make a rally himself. It's on a similar level as Radja Nainggolan, and like him, he can be called a complete fighter and he's coming close to Vieira.
