Player Review
88 - Icon
If you have been looking for that perfect CDM to replace Bakayoko look no further, thats your man, at least until his prime version will be available.
What a card this is ...
And no, I do not start some 5atb formations and then pause the game for 2 minutes while I create new formation, I just use him on 7chem. Lets respect each other, not everyone got time to wait while we do this silly tricks re-creating formations to get that +2 chem to a player which doesnt matter in the end anyway ...
, 87 stamina, 88 strength
Ok, to the point - Rijkard on 7chem with engine chem is 88 rated at CDM but in game he certainly is more like 98 haha, just look at those figures - 87 stamina, 88 strength, all defensive stats between 86-88, 82 pace aaaaand , tadaaam - icing on the cake - 83 vision, 93 short passing, 87 long passing + 84 shot power/80 longshots and last but not least 90 composure !
This means basically he is very tall, very strong, perfect passer with 4*wf even better, longshots are very very good, already score twice in 10 games :) Composure excellent, stamina excellent and yes - best workrates for a CDM, absolutely loving M/M this year, just like our man Baka. This means he doesnt sit extremely deep, is always there supporting and keeping the whole midfield together and he basically acts like a defensive minded playmaker, connecting your defence and midfield. In every game he has the very highest amount of passes and contacts with the ball in my team, he dictates the tempo of the play.
While waiting for his Prime, this is best value for money you can get this year.
All those stats above I wrote for 7chem engine chem
Highly recommended !
PS. I have put I played 10 games in total as thats what I played at CDM, I used him previously as CB for many games, but did not like him as CB sold and bought back, as I got that second thought why not to try him as CDM on 7chem and yes, thats where he is meant to be played for sure !
- tall, strong,superb stamina
- great passing, 4*wf
- v.good longshots
- excellent defensive stats, excellent workrates, 90 composure !!!
- at his price and at CDM absolutely nothing
- if you want to use him as CB though he is lacking a bit of aggressiveness in my opinion, for CDM though it is perfect
