84 - Normal
Ander Herrera was used in my Weekend League side as the right Center Midfielder in a 41212(2). While his stats suggest that he is a well-rounded, capable card, his performance for me was largely unimpressive. I don't want to sound like a pace dependent f*ck here, but he really lets you down when you are trying to start an attack. He just feels really slow, and his dribbling, despite being 81, did not impress me. This may be due to the pace problem. At 6 feet tall, you would expect him to be a decent physical presence but I actually avoided him on goal kicks as I found out that he can't win a header to save his life. The 4 star skills help boost his appeal, but you could do a lot better than him for 25k ish.
- 4 Star Skills
- High/High work rates are good, in combination with 87 stamina
- Dribbling felt all right when in open space
- Had a few good interceptions (86 rating).
- Shooting isn't bad. Hit the post on a tough long shot. Other than that, wasn't really relevant in the attack.
- Strength (70) really lets him down. Feels very weak. Can't muscle off defenders.
- Sprint Speed (70) is awful. Feels very sluggish. I would recommend not sprinting with him. Keep it controlled.
- Heading Accuracy (60) and Jumping (63). Awful.
