Player Review
85 - Normal
Marchisio is one of the best box-to-box midfielders this year. Probably the second best non special box to box midfielder only surpassed by Nainggolan - and Marchisio costs less than 1/10 of Nainggolan's price. I use Marchisio as left CM in a 4-3-2-1 and switches to 4-1-2-1-2 (2) in game, where he also plays left CM. I use a hawk chemistry style on him to boost his pace, shooting and physical.
Marchisio is the player that, even though you tell him to stay back, will get forward and score goals and create assist. But that is okay with me, because his high/high work rates does that he will be back in the defence right after.
- Positioning and his runs are the best things about him. If you cross the ball Marchisio will always stand at the right place to score.
- Pace is very good for a CM
- Dribbling is good
- Passing is very good.
- 4* skills and 4* weak foot is amazing
- Defending is stable
- Heading feels much better than 68
- Longshot is alright
- Strength is not the best
- Finishing inside the box is nothing special
