89 - Flashback SBC

5.0

Best Box 2 Box Midfielder in La Liga

By eddie9, 03-04-2019

The SBC was a little pricey, but I only spent 150k on Vidal since I had some of players needed for the SBC.

Let me say I was first a bit skeptical that he was worth this much, but it turned out he was the best box to box midfielder I needed in my La Liga squad.

First couple games I used for Division Rivals, and I could tell Vidal was frustrating my opponents by intercepting passes and tracking back and forth to disrupt the rhythm of their offenses.

Offensively, he is a solid passer and rarely made any passing mistake. For a CM, he's a good shooter, but don't expect him to be like Eriksen or KDB in terms of being able to shoot from outside the box. However, he was actually solid enough to finish in the box for me when he would cut in. Vidal even scored a sweet volley goal from a cross in the box once that made my opponent rage quit. Physically, he is pretty much an agile tank and won most of the aerial battles for me against other midfielders. Only midfielders that are stronger than Vidal are Casemiro and Kondogbia for La Liga, but they are less agile and not as quick compared to Vidal.

Overall, I'm very happy to have done this SBC. I would say he's a Chilean Kante in the game with better shooting.Put the engine chem on him and it will make him the near perfect box to box midfielder. He might be a little hard to link for a hybrid squad, but if you have a La Liga squad, he fits in perfectly.

-Covers the midfield like an ocean

-Great passer

-Can be clinical in the box or on volleys

-Great physicality

-Stamina

-Only 3 star skill moves

-Not a good finisher outside the box

-Doesn't have the best links for a potential hybrid squad

KING ARTURO

First of all, if you look at my squad, I play a 442, not 424... I just set it up like that for chemistry. Second, I just bought Optimus Prime Socrates but Arturo Vidal held that spot the entire year so credit is due to him for beasting it all year. All I can say is that if you didnt do him the first time he came out, you were a fool and when he got rereleased, you really didnt have any excuse if you werent running a la liga...

Arturo shitdal

Where do i even start with this shit card. First of all he is waaaaay to overpriced the sbc costs about 340k but i managed to complete it for 180k but still wasn't worth it. He was shit at everything except stamina. He was super sluggish and really weak (suprisingly) he got knocked down like a 3 year old against players like firmino and chicarito. His shooting was way off but the worst part was his defending h...
