87 - Icon

Good card BUT... deadly flaw.

By wickeywoo123, 03-07-2019

Ok so I get really annoyed at the kick off goals and 45th minutes, 90th minutes, rebounds, deflections etc. that happen all the time so I really try to incorporate a nice quality defence into my next concept squad. I end up with Marcelo, Varane, 86 Izzo, 90 Lafont at gk and 86 cancelo.

However CDM is the main part so I am choosing between Keane, Makelele (Suprise: I went with him), and Gattuso. I went with Makelele because I compared their stats and really makelele just has the right qualities to fit the meta this year of a kante-esque player so i buy him for 300,000 coins.

Deadly Flaw

>>> However I thought for the first 10 or so games it was my fault but no, he definetely has a weird quirk. I use 4312, 41212 and 4231 and in all the formations i played him in on stay back while attacking no matter what instructions or tactics I always seemed to find him on the attack WAY too far up the pitch, and a few times this cost me wins more than enough times for me to include this in the review...

Now you might think this is just me but no I have seen the same thing happen watching many reviews of him on youtube. I think he could be very good alonside another very good CDM to cover his back when he goes on these random adventures but for 300,000 im going to be honest there are MUCH BETTER TOTS PLAYERS TO BE BOUGHT OUT THERE!

Makelele just seems to love going on road trips to visit your striker or attacking midfielder for a quick chat whilst your on the attack.

Defending (Quite class although small guy so small legs so sometimes he will stretch out, miss and the opponent will go past you)
Passing (Nothing special it just wasnt a con just average passing)
Icon ( Obviously good chemistry but icons just seem to have some hidden stat or something making them better than other players its weird but im sure some people understand this)

Physical [ Ok dont misunderstand this, the stats are good but look at the old reviews for this dude im sure its a pro but no this late games he gets bullied by all the full tots teams these days really its not good enough to compete to dont expect the agression to just make him strong, hes not going to be muscling many people)
Pace - Yeah just wasn't feeling it to be honest, its decent pace hes not slow but it doesnt feel particually fast, fast enough to tackle a midfielder but wingers will just speed by him if you dont position him right to intercept.
Cost - 300k...... This is futbin. Go look at the people you can get for 300k....

Big (sort of) Mac

I bought this Makelele for just over 500k, to replace my fabinho, and partnered him with kante in a 4-2-3-1. He is just like kante but stronger, taller and better at passing. I involve my CDMs in attacking build up play quite a lot, and he is very good at it, his dribbling feels good as his agility is high and i did not notice his 69 dribbling affecting anything. His passing feels 90+, especially his long balls.

Really is better than Kanté!!

Hi guys! This is my first review and I decided to do it for Makélélé’s 87 rated card because he really deserves to be my first one. I’m sorry for my English, it isn’t my main language.Before I start, I need to say that I played all games in Division Rivals and in the Weekend League. I am normally a gold 1 player. I really recommend you using an anchor chem style on him, you could go for a shado...
