Kante at CM
By EDDIELACK, 14-12-2017

Hey guys I'm new to FUTBIN and love it! hopefully like link works so you can see my squad where i use Kante at CM. Kante is a great CDM if you would want to put him there. I run Bakayoko at CDM instead of Kante because Kante can run the field so well! his stamina which is at a 94 allows him to keep sprinting in the 70th or 80th minute of the match which can allow him to just run around guys and he can set up De Bruyne and Morata very easily to allow the goal to take the lead or the goal to tie it up. KANTE CANNOT SHOOT THE BALL! I've played 11 matches with him and he has scored one goal of a header from a corner kick (which was shocking because his heading Acc. is 54 and he is 5'6")but if your on a break don't expect kante to get a good look at goal. all around great card happy with him so far brings a lot of defensive pressure to the person I'm playing which makes causes turnovers. glad If i could help you guys out good luck this year in FIFA 18!

Way Better Than Bakayoko
By fluffy44, 30-11-2017

I have no idea how people say Bakayoko is the same or even better than Kante. I had PTG Baka for 20 matches and he did absolutely nothing for me, was clumsy and awful at defending. Kante is by far the best midfielder I have used this year, and probably the best NIF/non-icon CM/CDM in this game. I would recommend using him as a CDM, which I briefly did, but I've now moved him to CM and he's still great there.

  • He intercepts every single pass
  • Nothing gets by him, even as a lone CM in the 451 that I play, he acts like a typical 3 CM midfield
  • Dribbling, he's honestly an outstanding dribbler and while rare, he's actually scored some solo goals for me because he's so small and can cut and turn so quickly
  • Stamina, never gets tired
  • Pace, he's able to track back easily if he somehow doesn't win the ball


  • I guess his shooting, but it's not even that bad, especially for a typical CDM
  • Passing, not awful but not great, definitely boost it with a chem style (I use powerhouse)

He's the best CDM I have ever used!
By dreamerdat, 08-11-2017

4-1-2-1-2 is the formation I'm using him. He is the best CDM I have used so far. I have tried Kroos, Modric, and even Pogba, but they do not serve the team as well as Kante. With Kante, I have one extra CB in the middle, and he is super good at interception and marking. So many times he saved me from opponents' quick counter attacks, because he blocks almost every single through ball from their CBs. He is not really fast but he moves quickly when defending with his 90 balance -> it's really hard to get through him. Kante is not a good header, so in the case of air ball, you don't need to force him to jump. Let's the opponents get the ball, because as soon as it is on the ground, it's yours to take.

If you use him as CM, put Backbone on him, and use Anchor if you want him to be a CDM.

He is French -> can be used with Varane (CB), Pogba (CAM), Martial (LM), Dembele (RM) and Mbappe (ST). I used Griezman instead of Pogba for CAM and it still works as well.

Interception and marking is his super natural abilities. (96 and 99 with Anchor, I've never doubted the stats on him)

Decent speed. (92 acceleration with Anchor)

Nice balance.

Quick short passer.

Half Pogba price, kinna cheap for a super CDM.

Good stamina, can stay in the match till the end, minimize the chance of getting surprised gifts from opponents' subs.

Heading: he is way too short to be a good header :))

His long passes suck. (Backbone will increase his long pass ability if you really need him to do it, I would not recommend tho)

He's weak too. (Anchor will help a bit)

Tank
By GregsEggs, 17-12-2017

I packed him twice within a week, second one untradeable so not sure about his value for money. I would pay around 100k for him max so probably a tad expensive atm. Mainly used him with a shadow so he's fast and defends well, makes loads of interceptions and is pretty much just a beast. His shooting stats aren't great, but don't let that put you off - I've scored a few worldies with him already.


Played him alongside moussa dembele and they were great alongside each other in a 4231, before i changed to a 41212(2) with IF Saul, tolisso and 90 Costa, with Kante cdm. This midfield works wonders and is so OP

Great defending

Fast

Strong

Aggressive

Shooting could be better but still not too bad

Perhaps a bit short but can still win headers

Nothing else than okey
By aa9shakmatt, 12-12-2017

This guy is okey. If you are a good player you can destroy people with Kante, but for me wasn’t worth 212K. When I pay that, I expect big things out of a player. I still concided goals and he wasn’t sometimes to be found to defend, he was running behind my opponents players. When he tries to take the ball 1vs1 he is fine. But for that price he isn’t worth it. As I said if you are a good player try him out. He wasn’t that bad in the air also. But sadely don’t worth the coins for me.
