Oldschool Yaya back in the house

By pdxkristian, 21-03-2018

For those that don't know what Yaya was like a few FIFAs ago, think Bakayoko with offense and much better dribbling. I really love this card. The med-med work rates won't have him doing a ton of defensive work on his own, but he's a great option for people who aren't afraid to manually get stuck in on a tackle when needed. He's a bit like Rijkaard @ CDM in that he more or less absorbs the ball when you're in a good position to jockey and/or tackle; especially the latter. Of course you'll need to time it right, but he WILL dispossess the attacker if your timing and positioning are correct.

I play him @ CDM in a 4-1-2-1-2 (2). I admit I'm manually controlling him a lot more than someone like Kante, but it's so nice to have an attacking option when he's found his way upfield like CDMs tend to. At that position he's not going to score a lot, but he starts the attack better than anyone I've used at that position I've used so far.

Surprising smooth on the ball
Offensive threat going forward
Versatile - play him @ CM or CDM
Fantastic ball-winner

Poor acceleration

93 yaya toure review

i used the 93 yaya toure in a 350k bpl team with TOTS matic and pink cazorla in midfield i found that he was a strong and powerful presence in the midfield. He is excellent at controlling the play and passing the ball to create chances. His long shots are also a menace for the opposition form outside the box. He is also amazing at scoring headers from corners.

The Boss

I packed him from marquee match ups and planned to sell him for a nice profit however i had to try him out first as i have a full BPL squad. Dele Alli TOTS has to be content on the bench now. I play a 4222 formation so i had to play him as a CDM but with 'Get Forward' instructions, along side TOTS Fernandinho with instructions to stay back and it works wonders. i use an engine chem style for the pace, agility and balance bo...
