not that bad at all
By SIrBoban, 17-12-2019

First: English is not my native language and I'm not in a mood to google for everything. Cheers.


As probably a few others out here, I struggled to choose either Chamberlain or that speedy Portoguese winger. I went with Chamberlain bc I usually don't use subs and didn't want to build a decent French Squad. So Ox had his chance to shine in my main squad as a strong link to Mo Salah on RW.

I start with a 4-3-3 and in game I switch either to a 4-2-3-1 or 4-2-2-2, Ox plays in def mid with Battaglia. Chem-Style: Sentinel


First, I didn't expect him to score or assist hundreds of goals from where I play with him and well... he didn't. No surprise so far.

I now played 10 games with this tiny bulldog and he scored 0 and assisted 2 goals. But here's why I'm even trying to review this lad:


In every single match he was able to fill the gaps my mindless offensive players left behind and stole countless balls in the midfield. Thanks to his passing, he often plays the second last pass. Well of course sometimes you can find him somewhere near the corner flag while the ball is on the other side of the pitch, but that only shows that he's literally everywhere. thanks to his pace he can easily catch up with most CAMs and CMs (no 90+ strikers) and strongly disturbs them during the construction of the game. During this 10 games he had more impact to my game than Battaglia who was (and is) very decent for me.

He's probably a good offensive midfielder too, but especially in PL there are so many good and better competitors that I haven't used him there.


conclusion: If you're looking for a well rounded midfielder and can't really really really use Martins, here it is, and best part, he costs you 0 coins (unlike those lousy Futmas SBCs...)



  • Pace
  • Aggression
  • Defending (for a midfielder)
  • Passing is OK
  • Dribbling
  • Headers (due to his height)
  • Sometimes gets "lost" while speeding over the pitch
  • there are better CDM's but not for 0 coins

Too cheap to be true

I use him as CAM in my epl squad which is worth just under 1 million. I could have replaced him with another player, but he is so good in my team. He is all over the field, making great attacking runs and tracking back in defence. For 83 pace he feels quite fast. He cretes a lot of chances and his week foot, especially first touch far post finish is superb. His stanima and dribbling are very good too. Of course he misses a ...
