92 - ShapeShifters
First two games: 4231
Next three games: 433 (5)
Switched him to CDM in game and he actually outshined my Prime Essien (icon swaps) in terms of defensive output. With an Engine, he's like a sniper defender - invincible one minute, and the next he's got the ball miraculously with some stroke of AI defending. Engine is the best IMO as it gives him godlike dribbling stats - which are very crucial for a defender. It lets him tackle, and then carry the ball gracefully. Obviously pace can be a little lacking at this stage of the game with that chem style but that dribbling boost is so fun and useful to play with. His aggression is super noticeable in game, though his physical aspects are very disappointing. Useless when heading which is a problem when trying to win long balls from the goalkeeper. His strength is quite noticeable too as he does lose 3 out of 10 challenges when trying to body opponent off the ball. Defensive awareness is utterly great tho.
David Luiz shapeshifters is the only other meta CDM, but doesn't have the stamina IMO to run around. His defensive base stats aren't on Kante's level as well, though he makes up for that in Strength and height. Would pay 450k for Kante or less, but I don't see it going to that price yet. 500-600k is still a little too expensive for me personally. Did a youtube review if you want to see some gameplay footage of the player.
