Player Review
88 - Premium SBC
Once I saw the SBC, I thought that this card could be apt for my team, getting strong link with my other midfield players (Guend. and Mkhit.). The base price of the SBC was around the 130k, but with my untradeable players, he only cost me around 20k. In the first pack, Buffon was the surprise, so I finally won money doing it. Until now, in this position was Firmino FutMas, but his bad defending performance does not counteract the very good perfomance in attack, now is in the bench.
In game, I use him as CM, with Guendouzi (FS) also in CM and Mkhitaryan (SBC) as CAM, in a 4-3-3(4). In his first WL, he has scored three goals, and gave three assists in 11 games, and help me to arrive to Gold 2. With a Chem Style of Gladiator, I use him more as CM, but he also appears always in attack, for scoring o making an assist. I think that is one of the best CMs I have tried this year. He is so "equilibrated", fact that we can see in his stats. He can attack and defend without any problem.
About the Stats, I think the pace is the suitable for his position. Shooting is incredible (Gladiator Style). With 99 of positioning and shot power, he can score from anywhere around the area, but I think that having 3* of weak foot can be a problem sometimes. The passing it is also incredible. For a CM is very important stat, and he connects very well with the defenders and the attackers (perfect long and short passing). The dribbling is also so good, but I think that the fact of having 3* of skills rest him on this. In defending, I already commented. With the Chem style Gladiator, it can be so usable; he has a great sliding and standing tackle, and perfect interceptions. In physicality, the best is the stamina (92); you can use him during all the game. The worst thing of physicality (I think) is the jumping, and sometimes the strength.
I think is the profile of player in midfield that can recover balls and mount counterattacks, or control the ball. It is the profile that I had been looking for this position during these last months, but I just found it now.
*** the low GPG and APG rate is due to the damn weekly challenge of the Colombian swap, for which I have played about 8 games to score 3 sad goals with Quiñones, colombian player.
