Player Review

78 - Normal
4.5
Great Cheap Player!
By cookie05, 12-03-2018

First off, this is the first player review I have done on any of the FIFA games and out of all of the players. I reviewed Abdoulaye Doucoure for several different reasons. I am an avid football fan and I support Manchester United. Doucoure has been linked to a summer move with us and he has been one of, if not the most, underrated player in the prem the past two seasons. I took the opportunity to try his card out on FIFA, and after using him for 7 games, I am pleasantly surprised. I recorded the stats down of four out of the seven games he played in and they are as followed. First game, 7.9 rating, 18/19 passes completed, was fouled once, had 3 interceptions, and won possession 4 times. Game two, 8.9 rating, 19/22 passes completed, made one key pass, had 4 tackles, 2 interceptions, 1 block, and won possession 6 times. Game three, 8.8 rating, 23/24 passes completed, was fouled once, had 1 key dribble, had 2 tackles, 4 interceptions and won possession 7 times. Game four, 17/20 passes completed, had 1 tackle, 4 interceptions, and won possession 4 times. Doucoure has to be one of the best cheap players I have used all of FIFA 18 so far. Despite him not being able to contribute to any goals in 7 games, he sure did save a lot from going in! I would definitely recommend him, whether you use him for fun, because you have a low budget, or even if you have a high budget, try him out, you will not be disappointed!

Passing, never had below 80% passing completion.

Dribbling, seemed very agile despite his 60 agility and 67 balance.

Defending, made several key interceptions and blocks.

Physicality, has able to hold his own very well in matches and his stamina is fantastic, did not have to sub him once.

Pace, pace is on here just because of his 66 rating, I never tried to break away with him or anything like that.

Skill moves, it would be nice to even have an upgrade to 3* skills, but Doucoure used ball rolls and fake shots quite well to be honest.

Solid CDM with Shadow

Solid CDM card if you're looking for something new in the midfield and are bored of using the mediocre 'Kante, Bakayoko' etc cards. Doucouré sweeps up the midfield with ease and is extremely strong on and off the ball physically. His long shots are also immense, even with his low curve stat I was finessing outside the box with ease in FUT champs.

Be Wary- can be inconsistent

Being a Watford fan this card was a must buy for me, and after playing 60+ games with him, i was mildly suprised to find that he is extremely inconsistent for me. His positioning is awful but can easily recover most of the time. Don't expect many goals/assists. Feels a bit sluggish on the ball but is defensively solid in the 41212(2) for me

Do not buy him

So go him out of the SBC tots community pack. Unfortunately he is untradeable so I cant sell otherwise I would even quick sell him. If you have 110k dont buy him, he is super heavy to play as CDM and hes also loses very easily. He is not too tall so heading challenges he will probably lose. The good thing about this card is probably the interceptions and long shots but nothing too crazy tho. And to complete he is the worst ...
