Player Review
93 - TOTS
Right, so I'm physically tired by all the talk about "meta players" in this game. I play with players I like and enjoy watching, and Sergio Busquets is perhaps my favourite player. All I hear from content creators and other FIFA players is that "Busquets is not a meta player" and that he is "unusuable". With all due respect, those people don't have a clue about football.
Here's why:
His passing is faultless; you can ask him to play any pass, and he'll do it perfectly well. He never miscontrols the ball. He reads the game better than anyone I've ever used. Therefore, he rarely needs to tackle. But when he does, he wins the ball cleanly. There is simply no-one better to control your midfield than this absolutely lovely man.
EA seems to believe that tall players can't be agile, but Busi is in real life. Even though EA have tried their best to strap him of his brilliant agility and balance, he feels agile in-game. He turns well and always seem to manoeuvre out of tight situations - just like he does in the real world.
"What about his pace?", I hear people ask. Forget about the pace! He's a CDM. He's supposed to read the game, spread passes around and dictate the play, not run around like Adama Traoré or Ryan Kent. Why on earth would you do that? His pace is no issue at all, and the engine chemistry style (which I personally use) boosts the pace to the 70's. It's more than enough.
If you are a classic pace abuser who relies solely on pure speed, my man Busi is perhaps not the player for you. But that is by no means Busi's fault. Busi is an artist; a genius who needs the love of players and people who understands and admires his un-equalled intelligence. A minimum of footballing IQ is required to get the best out of this pure diamond of a player, and the people who use Mbappé, Kent, Adama, Ben Yedder, Neymar and so on do tend to lack the ability to use Busi and his near-peers.
But if you, like me, love, respect, admire and/or cherish Busi's abilities on the pitch, this card is a treasure. I'm not the best FIFA player, but Busi helps me finish Gold 2 in Weekend League with games to spare. He has been my best players for two weekends now, and there is no way I remove this genius from my squad.
Bonus: The feeling when your opponent spend the whole game trying to taking advantage of overpowered moves (which of course only work on FIFA), and Busi sets up your winning goal with a perfectly weighted through-ball... that's the reason to play this game!

Reading of the game
Maybe pace, but you don't need more than 70 in defensive midfield anyway.
