So I`ve got sissoko from the SBC, mainly focusing on having high rated cards for future SBCs, but since them he has became my go-to man for a solid midfield. Despite being tall and strong, I think the role of a box-to-box CM suits Sissoko better than a pure CDM, since his marking stat is low, plus his foot is a cannon and he can bang in some pretty sick long shots giving almost no time for the goalkeeper to react.
His kinda stiff and sluggish, lacks agility and balance, but makes it up with height, strength, above-average passing capability and 3 star skills (can do the 3 star variant of heel to heel, some stepovers and fake shots, that's it), he really shines when holding the midfield and when stepping in the box to shoot his right-foot cannon towards the goal.
Some people argue his defense is low for a CM, but it really isn't, marking is really low and drag the overall stats down, but he has 92 interceptions, 85 heading acc, 87 stand tackle and 86 slide tackle, so you really don't have to mess around too much with defending, the face-stat does not translate what he can do as a CM/CDM.
