85 - Normal
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.
