Player Review
91 - TOTS
I packed this guy during lightning rounds on Friday before weekend league and after playing 30 games with him I knew I had to leave a review on this guy. I hover between Gold 2 and Gold 3 player and this guy saved me on multiple occasions (scoring the winning goal to give get me to 14-16). I started off playing him as a left CDM in a 4231 with TOTSSF Ndidi as the holding CDM but then switched to a 41212 narrow with him as a RCM. I've used Seasons Fred and Headliners Wijnaldum this year and i can say he is better than both.This guy is everywhere. He makes perfectly timed delayed runs from outside the box and has enough stamina and pace to recover defensively. He is very agile and can win the ball back due to good tackling (with an anchor) and can turn and make a perfect through ball pass. His dribbling is fantastic and has 4* 4*. He pretty much feels like a better seasons objective Fred. His shooting doesn't look great, but somehow he was able to score 9 and assist 9 (mostly near post goals from inside the box). He did miss a couple of chances that I thought he should have scored, but other than that I have nothing bad to say. He does also get tired quickly if you use pressing tactics or end up going into extra time. If you missed out on getting Fred, or just need a PL CM that can do anything, look at this guy.
