BEN YEDDER WILL NEVER HURT YOU AGAIN

By Rozdog69, 18-04-2020

WOW! Prime Michael Essien is an incredible card at CM or CDM and will put in a shift undoubtedly whatever instructions you will use him with. I did him in icon swaps 2 however, I would pay anywhere around a million coins for him. I play him with flashback vidal and fut birthday sissoko in a 41212(2) with essien CDM and he CARRIES. He saves me in weekend league since he can easily play 90 minutes and is always the one with the most stamina after 120 minutes, btw I am currently 10-0 this weekend so I'm doing really well and it is much thanks to this guy. Chemistry style - I would use an engine because honestly he doesn't need the defending or physical upgrades as they are both incredible in-game. He is the best in his position

Stamina - literally Mo Farah, never gets tired and puts in a shift all game - even in extra time.

Pace - I use him with an engine and he is rapid! If you play your cdm on cover wing then he will do well as he CAN catch Mbappe and then later body him or if you play cover centre (where I play him) he tracks back and often catches their strikers.

Strength - It is like having a bulldozer in your midfield, he can body anyone - Ronaldo, Drogba, R9 - he is so powerful and doesn't give fouls but wins the ball and sends them flying.

Shot Power - his shots are like missiles, though they are not quite Vidal's, he can really strike them!

Tackling - Perfect, literally tackles anyone with the perfect combination of tackling stats, balance and aggression.

4 Star Weak foot

good passing.

Finishing - If he does charge into the box he hits it hard but not often particularly accurately so you might want to put him on stay back as he does have a High Attacking Workrate so he will drive forwards so beware.

Nothing else.

The bulldozer

This is the best card (midfielder) i have ever used , he is amazing. if you have the tokens for icons swap i would highly recommend. this card is about 10x better than Kante. He wins everything. i use him in a two cdm formation with Prime Roy Keane. He bully's people off the ball , he's super quick and he has insane passing. there are no cons with this card , and he can also rip a long shot.

Best CDM I've used

This guy has it all. I've used 86 and 88 Vieira, 85 Blanc, 91 Zidane, but Essien offers such a well rounded game compared to any of these.

Essien? Yes, He Can!

Well, after grinding so hard and feeling like I lost about 6 years of my life due to a combination of stress and what I can only describe as an 'almost heart attack', I finally had enough swap cards to redeem Prime Essien! OH BOY!!!!!After playing 30 FUT Champs games with this card, I'm left EXTREMELY pleased with my Icon Swaps choice. I normally finish between Gold 1 and Elite 3 and am a Div 2 Rivals play...
