Let me start by saying, I wasn’t expecting much from this card, was mainly getting him to play number 10 and help my chemistry in a la liga/serie a hybrid squad. I was using IF Ben Yedder and Griezman in that position before and liked them both ok.
Have to say this guy BLEW ME AWAY. He is unbelievably good, he can play CM but at CAM he shines so bright, his passing is next level, if you have a striker trying to get in behind he will find him. There have been so many times when I’ve hit pass and he’s done something I didn’t even see for an assist. Just get him on the ball find some space and hit pass. His corners are so good as well from both sides, whips the ball on the money every time. I have two squads that I rotate and it is painful taking him out as he seriously makes Griezman look average now.
His dribbling is highly decent as well, has the 4* skills so you can do most things, you just need half a yard of space to pass or cross with him anyway.
Shooting with him is fun, he’s got a great shot from range and a quality finisher in the box, also free kicks he would be my main kicker as he can keep the ball down and hit the target consistently.
I play him at no. 10 with the come back on defence so he runs a lot and is pretty tired by 70 mins, but that happens with anyone I put there so wouldn’t necessarily count it against him.

literally nothing else, I wouldn’t swap him for anyone now maybe that I can’t use two of him?
