Player Review
91 - TOTS
First things first, The value per coin for "TOTSSF" Kovacic is phenomenal, I have to honestly say he is the best value centre midfielder i have used coming in at just short of 200k coins at the time of writing. This guy is a juiced up kante, they play similar football and overall act like similar players in game in terms of positioning and presence on the pitch. I had a lot of fun using this card beside kante in a 4-3-3 (4) behind Messi in the "CAM" position. I wanted to compare the two to see how kante's standard gold card would hold up and that is how i came to the conclusion i made in the title. His defensive capabilities were next level honestly in terms of just being able to break up the play and get the ball rolling on the counter attack which brings me to my next point; he is terrible in front of goal kovacic has to be used with defence in mind in fact there would be no issues in playing him over kante in some XI's, just do not have him take a shot!!
- Intercepting play
- Tackling
- Pace in the midfield when it comes to tracking back
- Nice and agile on and off the ball
- Very tidy passing ability
- Physically an animal with nice stamina and aggression however i would recommend boosting the strength a tad.
- Felt composed at all times.
- 4* WF
- 4* Skills
- NOT an aerial threat whatsoever.
- Shooting was surprisingly dreadful, even though he has low finishing he failed miserably at putting near guaranteed goals on an bad day completely off target.
