91 - TOTS
5.0
The maestro
By ShiShi555, 08-05-2020

When the PL TOTS came out I immidietly saw this card as something that I would like to have in my club. Balanced stats, pure B2B with excelent defending and passing atributes, combined with H/H and 93 stamina is just perfect. On thursday I got him in my red picks with Robertson ( like 90% of FIFA population dide ). Then I made the team I have linked. Bought Blanc, Lacazet and put WBY and Hazard on 8 chem for the sake of completing the squad.

The Triangle in the middle is Henderson - Kante - Kovacic. Just wow. Kovacic has those animations that makes him so agile and ''wiggle'' with the ball. You can run past opponents with some simple skill moves like body feint, step overs or a normal heel to heel like he has a rocket up his ass.

As for the defending I find him very capable. Because he has high dribling stats he can easily take control of the ball even when opponent has some sticky players like WBY, Griezmann, Hazard, Messi... etc. Very good in tackles. He has some sort of a weird animation that I saw only on Ramos, where when he makes a slide tackle he scoops the ball and leaves it in his feet, he doesnt deflect the ball. Pure class.

His shooting isnt something what makes him stand out. But with his agile moves and H/H WR he is going to make some good runs to open space. When you enter the 16m box with him, just power shot it. He will make that ball go like a torpedo.


If any other player that has France or other meta nationality has this stats, he would be priced well above 500k coins. 175k-190k for this card is a steal for someone that loves to play narrow, fast paced tactics. Even in delay he feels good.


- Passing, positioning, vision and defending.


He feels very agile and fast. Simple skill moves make him unstoppable.

Heading is his weakest point, but with the state of heading in this game it is just worth to mention.

The best value Premier League TOTS

This is my first review, so it might be a be a bit bad (also sorry for bad english, it's not my first language). I bought this card as I needed a cheap box to box cdm in my weekend league team, and he was just astonishing. His price is really low for his talents, as he feels amazing in game. His dribbling is sensational, and his passing is top notch. His defending and physical stats are a bit low for his position, but if yo...

Kovacic is nuts

This card is absolutely out of this world. I played 10 games with this card in my team. He may not have gotten that many goals or assists but he was an absolute beast in defense. I decided to use him as the core of the 4-3-2-1, just to make sure i get to use him but i honestly think he should be a CDM or a box to box midfielder. He stopped everyone from passing he was more of a rock then the rock himself. Even if someone p...

Best Free CDM/CM

Simply put, this is a player that you would want on your team. His versatility makes him a good player to use in any midfield position and in my opinion, he is better than Kante. My previous CDM's were 85 Rodri and 88 Pogba, but Kovacic just offers that little bit extra in regards to defending and agility in particular. His 89 stamina should also offer you the opportunity to use him for the full 90 minutes- which I usually ...
