After trying a handfull of formation i settaled on 4231, i had a packed pulled Kante and a wanted a simliar player to him and that player was Matthaus. I swap him with middle desailly in game. Matthaus is an aggressive kante, he plays inbetween Kante (drops between defenders) and messi (come back on defeence) snapping up and balls that come his way and is great to control to cut passing lanes or win the ball back as he turns on a dime and has speed to recover any mistakes you make.
Speed (fills like 90 pace in game)
Defending (wins 90% of challenge)
Passing (even with passing being bad he is still amazing)
Interception (its like the ball gravitates to him)
This guy is easily the best icon for <950K I have ever used. He is amazing. He plays so much like Gullit for fraction of the price. The high/high work rate just means he is everywhere on the pitch. He offers defending presence, creative playmaking and if you wanted a finisher, just pass him the ball and he will rip the back of the net. His long shots are incredible. Both finesse and power shots.
You can either play him as CB in a 5 at the back formation and switch him to CAM or CDM depending on where you need him and he will be incredible. If you're not bothered about 10 chem, you can play him as a CDM with a german manager for 7 chem and he will be just as good.
Guys I cannot recommend this guy enough for the price!
?I decided to do the base icon sbc, I saw the German flag and tbh I thought it was Lehmann but when I saw CB I forgot that matthaus existed… lothar matthaus is a mix between a perfect CDM and A RB. I played him as a CDM in the 4231 and the 41212(2) but he performed better as a secondary CDM beside Michael essien (4231). Defensively he is godly. His shot power is amazing banging in long shots from outside the box a lot.. he is very reliable to cut passing lanes and to be on balanced in the 4231.. if you are thinking of buying him I say go for it as he is worth every coin you are going to spend on him.
I used the shadow chemistry style to boost his pace which felt like 90-95 in game. And his defense stats too high 90’s all of them. He is a well rounded cm/cdm.. if you are buying him to play at CB its not worth, Either play at CDM or RB.. i swapped him with ramos moments a few times. basically play him anywhere in the field lol.
Matthaus is really similar (as a player to use) to ruud gullit but he is smaller and his hair is short. If you have the ball make sure to shoot with him in the top right corner using Powershot :D.
he is also really good at free kicks ( the on where you aim it just over the crossbar and aim it down lol)
As many, when watching at that crazy card with that low price tag (picked him up for <700k), I was wondering why he would be that cheap. Probably because of the position, but that shouldnt be a problem now since you can swap formations ingame and just start 5atb. Maybe many are not aware or too lazy. Whatever, basically I tried him.
He was mostly playing left CDM in 4231 or left CM in 41212(2).
I would highly recommend this guy to anyone.
Pace feels like 90+
Amazing shot, finishing is way better than expected (IG rating 73)
Wins almost any tackle
Very agile, can be moved around quickly
very good ball control
very aggressive and annoying for the opponent, basically everywhere and everywhere useful (high/high)
rocket free kicks
very good passing (very accurate R1 passes to the last third, very effecitve this year)
4* weak foot
Neutral: I dont think his height is an issue. Being a little smaller makes him more agile, which is appreciated. Headers arent that important atm
Pop quiz! 90th minute and you have one last chance to score. Who do you want on the ball? Answer ... not this guy. He's clunky and clumsy, and that 93 composure goes to waste in clutch moments because he's rarely in the box. After 45 games in the midfield he has yet to score a long shot for me because they all get blocked. Part of this is just the game this year, but it's also due to his poor dribbling which allows your opponent time to read the play.
I played the first 16 games with engine (passing was incredible!) however there was a noticeable drop-off in defense when compared with Allan. Some of the time the game was just passing him by like he was stuck in 1970, despite proper instructions and in game stats for days.
Next I switched him to a shadow with aggressive interceptions to get him more wins, and I took off stay back to get him more involved in the build up. With shadow his passing is still very good (not incredible), but he can't pull off a roulette without losing the ball (a simple ball roll is 50/50), and you can forget about shielding. More than playable, but impact for the coins? Nope.
