Player Review
90 - Icon
I have used over 100 midfielders this Fifa and I can tell you he under-performs his price tag. I obtain his loan card with the ambition of gushing over the man's defensive prowess, but to do so would be a lie. I used him at CDM, where he is pretty deep in the midfield. I can 100% see if he is better at CM, but his high defensive work rate made me weary. His passes are crisp and he does a decent job of being a CDM, but by no means is he dominant like a legend should be at this stage in Fifa. HE IS STILL GOOD! Just not worth anything over 500k. I can only understand doing his SBC if you are Irish or need a legend in the midfield for links.
Passing is great
94 interceptions: I would say this stat is more around 87 in game. Still solid
Physicality: He can hang with just about anyone
Stamina: He goes all game
70 Agility: He is a liability sometimes when turning
65 shot power: this sadly counters his 84 long shots
79 Jumping: HE DOES NOT WIN EVERY HEADER. At this price you deserve a dominant aerial presence.
Out of position a disgusting amount, considering he never contributed to the attack
