Player Review
82 - IF
Delaney is easily the best CDM in the Bundesliga. He's also well-rounded enough to play as a box-to-box midfielder. He makes great defensive plays, and surprisingly makes even better offensive plays. He's incredibly aggressive on corner kicks and will always be in the right position to either steal a goal from the intended target or tap one in off a pass or rebound. Guilavogui served me well for 123 games, but this man has replaced him for good. I bought him on release for 35k (15k loss thus far) and have no regrets. In conclusion, if you need a great CDM to link up with Reus and friends, this is the one.
- 4 star weak foot
- Decent shooting; he is capable of hitting a shot from deep occasionally, but I recommend not letting him take shots unless you're playing him at CM with a chem style such as deadeye
- Good enough passing at the CDM position
- Decent composure, reactions, and overall dribbling
- Great defensive presence
- Near-perfect physicality
- Despite being a few inches shorter than what I like my CDMs to be, his height is never a noticeable disadvantage
- High attacking work rate causes him to be hyper-aggressive and active during corner kicks
- Would be overpowered with more pace on his base stats (sentinel chem style used for best stat boost at CDM), but his current pace is not detrimental
- Sometimes is pushed a bit up the field due to high attacking work rate, but recovers position pretty quickly
