86 - MOTM
I tried him since I liked his normal card as back up but wasn't impressed. For me, there are better options for this price.
-tall
-interceptions
-too slow
-no change for me with his normal card
-passing doesn't feel that great
This card is well deserved and it does not disappoint. As a United fan I have replaced Kante with this card in a 4-3-3 (4) formation along side Pogba and FUTMUS Lingard.
He intercepts everything, breaks up so many counter attacks, I have a powehouse card and with his increased passing he is the ultimate CM
Defending
Interception
Strength
Maybe speed but does not bother me
All in all, Matic is a fantastic CDM. He wins the ball back with ease. He can easily push weak and agile players off the player and can play it forward therefore you can counter attack. However his agility and balance lets him down.
His strength is extremely good at 91. In addition, his stamina mirrors this as he has 91 stamina. He has 90 short passing which means he can easily win the ball back and play it forward.
His sliding tackle is decent. Only 77.
His agility and balance are a huge setback. Being 59 and 55.
He is relatively slow so he cannot chase his man on a counter attack.
