Player Review
91 - Icon
Where do I begin. I play him at CDM with a shadow chem, guardian is a good option as well but I do attack with him a lot and I needthim to have the extra pace to covee ground faster on the counters. He has got to be one of the best box to box midfielders in the game. His high defensive work rate means that he is always ready to step in whenever I mess up in my half. Yeah his agility and balance are pretty low and I wasn't impressed with him at first but once I started using him how he's supposed to use him, man did he change my game. He has a great presence on the pitch and is able to win most headers in the midfield and defence, and manages to score a few corners here and there. I like to attack with my CDMs and his 90+ long shots and shot power coupled with decent finishing means that he scores absolute bangers when you do include him in your attack. You could probably buy pogba or kante to fit this role, but if you have the money, try him out and then you'll start to realise that those players have some pretty big shoes to fill. If I had to have only 1 icon for the rest of the game, he would probably be second to Gullit, because I feel that most icons are luxuires but this guy genuinely improves your game.
- Incredible shooting
- Pinpoint passes
- Play maker
- Presence
- 4* weak foot and 4* skill moves
- Heading
- Overall a very complete player
- Low agility, it is very noticible but not very troublesome once you get used to it
- Despite his strength, his 70 balance can pose a problem at times
