86 - Normal
Packed him as untradable and played in 4-3-3(4). First tried him at CM then quickly gave up because he is such a liability from defensive perspective. Basically zero contribution for defense. Matic, Bakayoko, Gueye are all better choices than him at CM. However he played pretty well at CAM. Great one touch passing and decent finishing. Played ~50 games for me with ~20 goals and ~40 assists. However there are just many other BPL players better than him at CAM. If you are rich go for KDB. If you want better version with about the same price go for Dele Ali, or David Silva if you are possession play style. Or lastly you can get Santi Cazorla to play at CAM. He is so cheap and so underrated.
Overall, Cesc is good at CAM, but just not worth those coins.

not the best centre mid or centre attacking mid in the bpl and his price is too much for what your getting
His passing is good enough, decent long passing and good for corners but doesn’t feel like 88 passing, more like 80. His dribbling is ok he can keep the ball quite well and his composure is very good.
Shooting is very bad for him, he misses nearly every shoot at goal, feels like 20 shooting, defenitly not 77. His defending is bad, he will miss time a lot of tackles and is very bad at marking. Physical and pace are also quite bad, he can’t keep up with players and gets pushed off the ball very easily. Overall I would not recommend this card.
