FRENKENSTEIN (De Jong)
By condaddyFUTboy, 26-01-2019

I've had Frenkenstein for 18 games now, and I'll admit that I was having a little difficulty utilizing him properly at first. But since the first few games, my results have vastly improved and its been obvious that the returns from purchasing Frenkie De Jong are well worth the investment. The trick for me has been to change his instructions from Balanced Attacking to Get Forward to offset his medium attacking work rate. Couple that with the occasional formational change (where I scoot Frenkie De Jong forward and switch him to CAM, moving Dybala up to striker), and I've found that De Jong really is the preeminent box-to-box, well-rounded midfielder for whom I've been so desperately searching. So, discounting the first few games where Frenkie's potential was being wasted, his stats begin to brighten a bit: in the past 14 games, he's created 10 scoring opportunities, with 6 goals and 4 assists. Those stats are still deceivingly paltry, though, when compared with the reality... because when you start Frenkie De Jong, you will find that he can be quite the game changer. He has contributed heavily to almost every goal that I've scored since securing his signature, whether it's been through well-timed passes during build up play, a deft juke, or a perfect standing tackle that sets a fierce counter attack in motion. His positioning is excellent and he has this sublime way of gliding in from behind players and confiscating the ball before they know what has happened. Depending on the needs of your squad and your play style, I think this guy can be utilized as a CDM, CM, or CAM effectively. I cannot recommend him enough for players with limited means. Link him up with De Ligt and Tagliafico in a 5-3-2 (all three of them making a perfect link triangle on the left hand side) and watch the heads roll. Set him up with Sentinel chemistry style to bolster his standing and sliding tackles, heading, jumping, and endurance, further solidifying his awesome well-roundedness.

*Immaculate passing

*Sturdiness on the ball

*Good speed for a holding midfielder

*He's got a Luger for a right foot

*Long shots and finesse shots that will tear a new one in opposing D's

*Will frequently intercept from unsuspecting attackers and straight body the more diminutive players

*4 star skills

*Poor stamina for a midfielder; is pretty much gassed by the 75th minute

*3-star weak foot

*De Jong has a slow dribbling reaction stat, but I haven't experienced any clunkiness with his ball-handling, so maybe disregard

De Jong (Workhorse)

I used De Jong's FFS card for over a thousand games and I was happy with his 90-rated card. So it was a no brainer for me to get his TOTS. Especially that he has a perfect link to TOTS De Ligt, one of the best CB's in the game. De Jong is your midfield marshal, who is essential to the integrity and balance of your team. Very good defensively, and equally good going forward. I mainly use him in 4-2-3-1 formation as a CDM who...

The best cam i've used this fifa

As an Ajax fan I had to try out this card and do the sbc. I used him in the 451 formation as left cam in the weekend league and his work was great! I linked him up with vvd, future star Mathijd de Ligt and future star Justin Kluivert. I think 130k is a very good price for such a good player.
