80 - Halloween
Out-f*in-standing. The super sub of dreams. The Kante of the South. This man has aged better than your finest Malbec from the dustiest Argentine cellar. He is that clutch sub for every WL game where your two goal lead is under siege from the forces of RNG evil and your opponent suddenly has about 14 players around every loose ball. There is not a blade of grass he won't cover or challenge he won't crunch into. It's almost as if he takes this year's decision to make the tackle button a 'mystery dip' as a personal affront: no matter how many times a tackle pinballs back to his opponent he's a bigger pest than the personal trainer at your local gym trying to sign you up for a 'free session', he just will not let it fucking rest.
But it's his current physical boost that takes this card to the next level. Any fears over this 5'9 hearthrob's physical presence are quickly allayed when you see him take off through the air to put Pogba on his arse and launch a counter attack with that gorgeous shining head of his, his massively boosted jumping, aggression and strength meaning there isn't a corner of the pitch he isn't prepared to absolutely boss. The best 13k you will ever spend bar none, I guarantee it.
That holy trinity of acceleration, agility and balance means he is absolutely lightning across the pitch and very tidy on the ball. Defensive stats are very sound but his physical stats are unparalleled and honestly game-changing. 94 jumping, 99 aggression, 85 strength and 89 stamina mean whether it's in the air or on the ground he will get you the ball back by any means necessary.
42 finishing but being the absolute patron he is 90th minute volleyed winners are in his locker
