Player Review
87 - Flashback SBC
I just want to make it clear that I had to do this SBC as a big United fan, but I'm going to try my best to be bias-free. I'm a divison 3 player so take that into consideration. In 25 matches played Mata has scored 19 and assisted 15. I used him as the middle CAM in a 4-2-3-1 with pacey players around him and I believe this is the best way to make use of him. I slapped a deadeye on him and oh man his passes are as clean as you'll like them. Finishing in the box is very reliable and his small structure allows him to move around the box wonderfully. His 3* weakfoot and med/med workrates are his biggest flaws though. I would not bother testing his right foot.
His speed stat is deceiving, he feels so quick on the attack.
His passing is world class, finds attackers on the run every single time.
Long shots are very solid and shot power feels great inside the box, will score near post everytime.
I guess his height if you prefer taller CAMs.
His 3* weak foot and med/med workrates.
