93 - TOTS SBC
After packing totssf Ramos I had 800k to spend. Then I saw this card. Perfect for to pair up with totssf Busquets in the midfield. I used this card for my last 6 weekend league games, and he made a massive difference. I used an engine on him to boost his agility and balance. The pace boost also was a good upgrade. He could also be used as a cam with a maestro or as a cd with an anchor.
Gameplay
I used him as a b2b cm in a 4-1-2-1-2 (2) and he was everywhere. The high/high workrates are amazing, he makes tackles to prevent goals and he scores goals at the other end. Finesse shot trait is also great for longshots and he scored a lot of goals at the edge of the box cutting in from the right. With an engine to increase balance and agility he is one of the smoothest dribblers I’ve used (other than super high agility and balance players like Mbappe), he also has a great first touch and can easily control the ball in tight spaces and dribble through defenders like he’s Kent. The one weak spot in his dribbling would be his turning he sometimes is a bit slow but still good enough. His passing is not the best I have used but still very good and he almost never missed a pass. His defending was also great he won back the ball high up the pitch quite a few times with an interception or a tackle. His tackling is surprisingly good. When you go in for a tackle with him you know you’ll win 90% of the time. 98 stamina is also great, and his strength and body type are very good.
Tactics
I used him with balanced instructions for attacking and cover center. On cover wing he wasn’t fast enough to keep up with the Traores and Neymars. If you’re using him as a b2b cm he is probably best on balanced attack. I use him on free roam as he makes great runs and provides a lot of support for my strikers. For crosses I have him set to stay on the edge of the box. If the cross is cleared he can get possession back easily and he also scored a nice volley from this position.
Value
This card is value for coins. For about 200k I think this card is a steal. Most similar cards would be much more expensive. If you can afford him the sbc is definitely worth it. This card is my first end game card and is very meta.Also a very complete card and can play anywhere in the center midfield.
Everything. There is nothing that is bad about this card.
For me being right footed, left footed players are hard for me to get used to. Other than that, the only thing would be 3* skills which isn’t a problem for me because I don’t skill much.
