I'd start by saying, he's worth the trouble of the online singles you have to play, Excelent free player, If you have Neymar on your team, just go for it.
You'll get a moutain in your midfield, covers a lot of space and has them long legs that say "it's never over". Enjoyable air presence, he doesn't really jump, but rarely need to.
Plus the rare times you'll have angle for a long shot, it goes in... BUT, he doesn't make the runs to be in that position, and the lack of skills and balance make it very difficult for him to be in shooting position.
His passing is more than okay, no problem to declare here, but keep it simple, and never get cocky trying to eliminate anyone with his dribbling...
I've never tried to finish a game with him (I benched Kante when got him, Kante is better, no questions, enters around 60.) the stamina is really deplorable for a guy who doesn't run that much.
I advice anchor on him, the plus 10 jumping seemed really appropriate, I haven't tried him without, but his pace seems enough to me not to go for shadow,
Height obviously, even with a poor jumping he's master of the air, plus those long legs will cut lots of passes and bullied lots of skillers, Great CDM Defensive abilities are over the top
Long shot (but rarely able to take them)
Stamina and balance, Would hardly finish a game and have almost none offensive input
