Honestly one of the worst CDMs I've ever used
By BenniZ27, 09-02-2019

I really think that Fabinho is one of the worst if not THE worst CDMs I've ever used. The linked squad is how I play ingame, but I go into the game with everyone being on full chemistry except for Fabinho, who is on 8.


The issue with Fabinho has definitely not been his defending or physical. In these aspects, Fabinho has been really consistent and good, but one thing that completely destroys him for me is his positioning. Even though I've set "Stay Back While Attacking" on him, he occasionally rushes forward for no reason, destroying my 4-1-2-1-2 and turning it into a 4-2-2-2. This is not always the case, but it happens at least 5 times per match. Before you say it, it is not because I accidentally press L1 while playing a pass.

Doing these runs, he is losing me a lot of games. For example, if Son has a ball and is waiting for De Bruyne to make a run into the box, Fabinho literally steals De Bruyne's run and making a poor shot with his 66 finishing. And then, a quick counter from my opponent and Fabinho is not where he is supposed to be.

I am 5-3 in WL currently, and without exaggerating, 2 of the 3 losses came from him either stealing my striker's chances or him not defending.

The Perfect CDM

This card is amazing. He is one of the best CDMs in the game. His height, defensive work and stamina make this a great card. Pick him up and you wont regret it, he will dictate the middlefield and he can pass the ball really good too. Med/Med works rates are fine, his speed is just fine and he does well on and off the ball. His interceptions in game are definitely more than 84. Also with 91 penalties, you are picking up a ...

The man for everything

In my opinion he is a absolutely outstanding player. He makes the job, that any other player wouldn't do. He is everywhere. But I think he is the perfect cdm. He sets the passways and always looks for the duel. He exudes a certain amount of calm that can be beneficial in the game.He is also good for a perfect pass.

Big Bald Bully

Fabinho CB is a total bully against attacklers, his phisicality in the ground is at the same level of Van Dijk (his jumping is the only problem). I have tried Varane and Davinson Sanchez (untradable UCL card) alongside Van Dijk SIF (FUT Champions rewards), but none of them convince me, so i try Fabinho CB and the result was beatiful, however, he is not for everybody, if you decide to use him you need to be aware that
