Player Review
93 - TOTS
So I was lucky to pack this guy as an untradable card. As an old Barca fan who watched this la masia kid get better and better every year and bossing the midfield I was really happy with this pull (and of course packing 93 card for free something will make you cheer anyways).
So Since I'm building a new team and I don't have many "Expensive Meta" players on this account I tried this card for 27 matches * 90 minutes more or less, Here's what I think
He's INCREDIBLE in (close) dribbling, exceptional ball control and dribbling. Also He has a outstanding composure and reactions, if You didn't see on his card that he has 99 composure I'm sure You would easily able to tell that in the game, He doesn't make any mistakes when He's under pressure. A very important stats for a pure cdm
I played him as CDM in 4231 with Get forward instruction, He got into the opponent box a lot and I gotta say He's got very nice positioning when he does
As he's 6'2", Sliding tackles seems to be an easy peasy for him. Very nice Strength and Aggression as well. Also He wins all air balls due to his height
That was his pros, I think Y'all know what will be his cons..
Yes, You're right. HE IS SLOW. To give you an idea, With engine, He would feel like a gold KDB. Not great Not terrible but With the current set of pacey forwards He WILL NOT CATCH THEM. So it's important to make him stay back while attacking
I wouldn't count his Agility and balance as a downside if You're using him as a pure CDM but if You're gonna use him as a CM this might be a problem for You
overall when I packed him I thought he is pure SBC card but he wasn't as bad I thought he is. Yes he isn't the METAest CDM in the game. Yes he doesn't have amazing agility and balance but he isn't that terrible in-game.
Composure and Reactions: OH MY GOD. He's a very cold blooded player
Passing: High end.
Close Dribbling
Stamina
Positioning while attacking (if You set him to get forward)
Pace.
Pace.
Pace.
Balance (Gets a bit better with engine although You will obviously need a shadow/Hunter on him)
