91 - Premium SBC
4.5
A NEW BREED OF CMs
By Mavericks, 10-02-2019

Am a very picky guy when it comes to CM/CDMs, for me, they are the most important members of the squad. Have tried EVERYONE in the game except for ICONS,

and NONE of them is an all rounder as some have claimed in other reviews.


This is a review of one CM/CDM that could prove to be a real ALL ROUNDER!


This card is one of the very few cards where the stats don't lie, in fact, he is even better in game and full of surprises.

  • His work rates says H/M, am telling you now its H/H!! If you are crossing, Hamsik is the one on the far post not your LW, not your RW, and on the counter, he is the one protecting your backline. He is simply everywhere on the pitch.
  • He might have 3 stars skills, but you won't need more than that, he is definteley more agile than 79 and his ball control is simply amazing.
  • His heading/jumping abilities was a surprise for me, I don't know if thats because of the Anchor Chem. or he is just built this way, he scored me 5 goals 3 of them where headers, he's taking the near post in defending corners and I haven't had any problems with him up till now against any strikers, including Ibra and Prime Shevchenko.
  • Long shots/finishing/strong foot/weak foot exactly as the stats says, no surprise there. He could use a little boost for the shot power, but not for the accuracy. But it's not a problem for me at all.
  • His defending after the Anchor is also as the stats say, I usually don't trust the chem. boosts 100%, but with this card its true, you can trust him to be your CDM and protect your back 4.
  • His strength is a little problem when he is trying to take the ball off players like Pogba, but don't worry, his aggression makes up for it, and he'll just keep trying till your opponent is either forced to make a wrong pass or better, losing the ball!
  • His passes is spot on, no lie there also, he simply doesn't miss whether its a long, through, or short pass


Conc.: I don't know about other players demands or playing style, but he is everything I wanted and more, he is the complete CM/CDM, he's a defender, a playmaker, a passer, a long shot taker, an extra man in attack, an extra man in defense, but above all of that, a game changer. He is simply a new breed of midfielders.

PACE

HEADERS

LONG SHOTS

DEFENDING

PASSING

5S WEAK FOOT

BALL CONTROL

EVERYTHING!

SHOT POWER...as I said for some it might be, but not for me

STRENGTH...only when trying to take the ball off strong players, but he can protect it just fine if he has it, he doesn't get outmuscled

STAMINA...as I said earlier, he feels like a H/H not a H/M, so in extra time he might need subbing, depending on your playing style

IDK, am stretching for Cons actually! LOL

Marek (HAM)sick

I bought this Hamsik card only to get strong link with IF Insigne. I thought Insigne would be the showstopper out of those two, but how wrong was I. Hamsik is everything you can ask from the complete midfielder. Firstly, his attacking game is suberb. 5* wf combined with his shooting stats is the key. He has scored 15 goals in 20 games from the CM position in Division rivals. His passing is very accurate and he seems to find...

The Cheap prime Socrates

Hamsik is the most complete midfielder Ive used all year. Ive tried Socrates but this insane sbc card is 10x better in every way. he has amazing long shots and even better build up play. Hes a maestro and a playmaker and every pass he makes hits the target. his stamina is great and you will notice him make important tackles and score important goals. I highly recommend anyone who is loo...

Marek Hamsik the most solid player

I initially bought Hamsik because I thought his price will rise as he receives upgrades in the Europa League and could sell him at a later date. Instead of leaving him in the club i decided to use him in a team and wow im so happy i did. He has proved to me that as a CM he is undroppable and i wont be selling him until playing with his final upgrade (which may be a 90+). I use him as the left CM in a 4-1-2-1-2 narrow and he...
