81 - IF

4.0

Excellent value for coins

By DavideTala, 14-04-2018

I paid 14k for him (shadow chem style) and used him ad central cm in a 250k Calcio A 4-3-1-2 squad alongside FIF Bonaventura and NIF Nainggolan, because i play my central cm on stay back while attacking like a cdm but i also hate the 4-1-2-1-2 (2) switch between rcm and cam. before this kessie card came out i tried matuidi and i could've used him for a similar price, but i picked up kessie because of his better height and strenght and because he's better on the ball.

Pace (92): high pace is always good for a defensive player (for any player realisticly). he didn't have to catch fast wingers but he did the job in the middle of the pitch.

Shooting: never took a long shot with this guy as i have better options (bonaventura, nainggolan, gomez, mertens, immobile) and also i never found kessie in a position to shoot. i don't use him to score so i dont really care about this stat. decent if you get to pens shootout

Passing: on a cdm i look at vision and both passings, and he has 78/86/82 which is pretty good. i never had trouble with his passing as i never use long balls from midfield (at the very best i use chipped through balls) and he's been decent in this aspect of the game

Dribbling. he has high agility and balance for a 6'0 big dude. almost all stat above 80 (also composure) is really good and you can feel him being very decent on the ball in game. i dont attemp dribbles unless it's necessary to avoid pressure and he's been good

Defending (91): he makes very good tackles and interceps very well. hes not the type of player that haunts everyone like a dog but he has pace, tackling and strength to make up for that

Physical. decent jumping, stamina and strength (86 without chem style boost is pretty high on a 81 rated if). he's an absolute boss in the centre of the park. wins header and bullies opponent for an entire game. only problem is i feel like if you play cm he's going to get tired a bit too quickly because of his workrates. H/H CMs need 90+ stamina to me, but since i play him on stay back i never had problems with stamina

overall a pretty strong player for 14k, it actually feels underpriced and to me he's better than matuidi at cdm.

feels good on the ball

team and nations: if you have a full calcio a squad you're good to go, but if you like hybrids the best you can do is play him alongside bailly aurier zaha toure etch so you really force yourself into bpl.

aggression: as a cdm you would like him to be much more aggressive. he compensates with pace strength and tackling as i said before, but i would've preferred higher aggression.
