Player Review
86 - SBC
This Yaya Toure card is amazing. It plays exactly like Vieira, and is a fraction of the cost (it was free for me). Defensively he will win the ball back for you more often than not, and he wins pretty much everything in the air. His short and long passing is good, his passes are seldom misplaced, and it takes a Kante-level interception to stop them. He will regularly pop in and around the box, and is a frequent goal-scorer, mostly from set pieces or with late runs to tap-in a rebound. To those who see his agility as a con, this is not a problem. His dribbling is enough to secure the ball and get it to your play-maker. Toure is not a jet fighter, he is the aircraft carrier - your base and foundation. Use him as such, and leave the sweat for the attackers.
I use him as a box-to-box CM with Engine, but wherever you deploy him (CDM, CM, CAM) he dominates.
Very strong defensively
Good passing
Aerial ability
Close-medium range finishing
You can't get the FUT Birthday Rooney card if you get this one
