Player Review
90 - FUT Future Stars SBC
Up front, I don't care about TOTY Ronaldo, Mbappé or all those other OP cards. I play for fun and I'm a supporter of Ajax, my main incentive is to play with joy and build a relatively strong squad to match up with the OP significant others. And I must say with this years Fifa, I'm not dissappointed. I mean Future De Ligt, UCL Tagliafico, FB Huntelaar, 89 Ziyech, Hero Tadic and IF Blind and Van de Beek, the only card I'm missing is an upgraded Mazraoui. But lets talk about Frenkie
What is so good about this guy, sometimes you don't see him at all, but he is there when he needs to be: In the clutch for a rebound, through balls to put a striker in front of the goal, as an extra defender to kill an enemies attack, and untill the infamous patch he would score 9/10 timed shots.
But what I really like about him, that he is as slippery as in real life. Easy to make an unexpected move and hard to take the ball from. Even in a battle where it seems he will lose the ball, he will somehow still steal the ball and leave your opponent behind, clueless of what just happened.
Also his low driven shots are worth to mention, just lay a ball of to him after a quick combination and he will slide the ball in the far corner. He doesn't care if it's de gea or a tall courtois, it WILL end up in the net.
His pace is mediocre, but with this handling, ball control and passing, you actually don't miss the pace, also as he is linked up with Tagliafico and Overmars, it's just nice he can hold the ball for a second, or a minute if you feel like it, to see which player is open.
TBH his only real downfall is his stamina, he will likely be tired around the 70th minute, or earlier if you hold the sprint button a little too much. But at the same time, he is at his best while not sprinting so I only sub him if I really have to and the game is too close too call.
