A few players are top notch, noticeable on the field - you can add Petit on that list alongside, Gullit, Vieira, etc.
Petit offers a scary defensive role in your midfield, he's strong, very noticeable, and in general just a monster.
I can't honestly not think of anyone else better except Gullit and Vieira who is multiple millions of value.
Petit locks down your midfield, you can feel your opponent trying to avoid playing or dribble around him - he will intercept, and he will bully.
Now, Petit doesn't have the height nor as long legs as Vieira, but whatever trait Vieira has that gives him octopus legs, that curls around the opponent and steals the ball? Petit has that as well.
Petit has godly defense stats, and a power shot. Passing is not his strong side, but he will get the job done. He will deliver the ball from your own half, to your strikers and wingers.
Due to the current state of the game, after the time finesse shot patch, it's hard to score direct bangers, and Petit won't do that. But he will make sure, with a outside-the-box shot, that the keeper have to give a corner - which is key, since nearpost R7 corners are OP.
Petit is fairly cheap since his card only cost around 1.2 mill on the market and 1.1 mill for the SBC.
I bought the prime 90 Petit from the market and was pleased, I then decided to cash in and do the SBC for his Prime-moments card, and boy, I don't regret it one bit.
If you're looking for a solid, META midfielder who will stay in your squad for the rest of the year, and who doesn't cost your house and your car - Petit is your answer.
Octopus legs, that curls around the opponent and steals the ball.
Noticeable player, that delivers every single game.
