81 - IF

4.0

If you need a strong Seria A CDM this is your guy!

By FcTini, 19-12-2018

Just a quick review. I got tired of using Matuidi, IF Lucas Leiva and CL Allan at CDM since, to my liking, they all lack some strength and height to correctly fulfil their role. I picked up this guy for around 12k and I have to say, he made my midfield feel so much better. In the defensive respect that is. He wins so many second balls, headers and always is in the right position defensively. Also in duels he is a beast for me, I use him with Anchor so his strength gets boosted to 80, whether it is due to agression or due to his great defensive stats with a good chemstyle he just seems to with loads of duels that with Matuidi or IF Lucas Leiva were always lost.

Offensively I didn't expect to much from him because of his workrates, but also because of his stats, but still I was pleasantly surprised. On some occassions he gets himself in good shooting positions or even in 1-on-1's with the goalkeeper, longe range shooting opportunities can be pretty dangerous with this guy bc of 94 shot power and 84 long shots, however you shouldn't expect too much from his finishing since he can often botch sitters. His dribbling mostly was fine, but felt a bit clunky at times. His passing, even though it didn't seem too good, surprised me as well, his through balls and short passes over the ground are generally fine. With corners, both offensively and defensively, he is an asset too because of his decent strength and good jumping.

If you like a CDM with good agression, pace, jumping and strength you should definitely flick an Anchor on him and give him a go and see if you like him.

I had grown tired of Allan, so I kept searching for a replacement and I've found Duncan to be the best option. I play him as a CM (although he is played like a CDM with Milinkovic-Savic plays as an attacking CM next to him), and I have found him to be better than Allan, 88 live Hamsik, 85 Leiva, 84 Parolo, and others even if his stats may not always compare favorably. Pace: I use a shadow on him, so he has...
