Player Review
86 - Icon
I bought him before patch, because he was cheap for an icon and had 5* WF. Thought he would be a good CAM in 4231, with the first time finesse. And he was.
Now I play Nedved (86) as left CM in a 4141. He has a free role.
Pace: With 90 pace you expect him to be quicker. He usually feels slower (like 83 pace)
Shooting: Even after the patch he still scores finess shots outside the box. Its his best attribute, even though its only 82. Feels like high eighties/low nineties. With both feet, but preferably right.
Passing: His passing is good. Messes up the through pass here and there, but overall it matches the rating. His crossing is amazing, especially with corners. 1/3 corners are a goal with him.
Dribbling: Dribbling is decent. He is no Neymar, Douglas Costa with high agility skill moves. But again matches his rating (87).
Defending: As a CM he is better then expected at defending and blocking passing lanes. Also not weak in duels.
Physical: His stamina could be higher, but he still can play 2 matches after each other without going red (as a CM).
If you want a cheap icon he is one to recommend. But you are probably better of saving up for his 89 icon or higher.
8/10 rating
Shooting outside the box with both feet
Work ethic
His goal/assist contribution
His crossing (mostly from corners)
Pace doesn't live up to the 90 rating
His handling speed on the ball is sometimes very slow and can lose you possession
