Player Review
96 - TOTY
I have been very impressed with TOTY Modric. I have been bouncing around formations lately and trying to find my groove. I had previously used TOTY Modric in Draft mode once or twice and was impressed so decided to give him this weekend to replace IF Nainggolan. So far I have used him in roughly 30 WL games as the RCM in 4-1-2-1-2 narrow formation. I've also switched formations minute 1 to 4-4-1-1 and played him as RM with instructions to come back on defense. He will excel in pretty much any midfield or attacking position. His stamina is amazing and no matter how long the game he never requires a sub. He has very good shooting with Hunter chem style with both feet, and maybe the best dribbler in the game that doesn't have 5 star Skill moves. The only con would be his height in my opinion which is made up for in so many other ways. I've used Nainggolan for 700+ games with 100 goals. Modric is almost at .5 goals per game which for me is fantastic. If you look at the other midfielders at 1.24 million you will find you either get a great defender or great attacker. It is very tough to find a box to box midfielder that can do it all and Modric is the only one that has blown me away.

I wouldn't call his strength a con at 74, but some might
