Player Review
82 - Normal
I first bought Kondogbia right at the start of fifa. I heard reviews that this guy will be a beast. After 20 games I thought that this guy was amazing, however he was surrounded by 79-83 rated players. Now I have 83-89 rated team and played a lot more games and he hasn't been playing well at all. You look at his stats and see that he has a good all rounded player. First you see his 73 pace, but with engine you can feel the difference and it quite fast. Thats one of not many positives. His 79 dribbling is okay when he is running in a straight line, but when it comes to turning around he is significantly slow and very sluggish, this does not change at all and for a player like me who likes to pass around it isn't good at all and looses the ball every time. His 73 shot feels like a 50 shot as the only goals he has scored are tap ins from rebounds. In addition, it says his traits are finesse shots but has never hit a finesse shot on target for me. His passing is alright but his 2 star weak foot leads you to only make him pass with his left foot. And wanting to turn around to use his left foot, you have already lost the ball for how slow he turns. The worst part comes here his strength and physical. I play in a 4-1-2-1-2 formation where I play Kondogbia as a CDM and his work rates leads him to be never in position. Furthermore, the 83 defending he has does not feel like that at all when he looses around 90% of the tackles I take with him. Also, the 88 physical feels like a strikers strength and is constantly shrugged off the ball like a child. Overall, he really doesn't play well for me and his stats on his card look great, but do not fall for that. If you want a good CDM for very cheap, get Thomas Partey he is significantly better. If you want a high rated get Casemiro.
