Player Review
96 - TOTS
So I packed this guy in rare players pack form SBC, and decided to replace my basic sissoko (who was incredible for me). I played him in 4-2-3-1 (not wide one) as one of cdms with tots kovacic. I played like five wl games with him and 10 rival matches (division five, wl rank gold 1).
Firstly, his passing - absolutely broken. Doesnt matter if your opponent has sissoko or vieira, he will always find player you want to pass (even when he is turned 180 away). When u have time with him, have fast attackers with good runs, it is really deadly, he is great creator. However, because of his low speed and bad agility, you often dont have lot of time to create smthng. His shooting is alright, but he smashed a few great chances for me (i think even sissoko would score them). Too, I dont understand why he is using his outside foot all the time when he has 5* wf. Sometimes, it ends your action because of this supidity. His ball control, composure and reactions are great, but that agility is really bad (feels worse than sissokos movement). Too, his acceleration doesnt seem like 90, more like 83, and with 73 sprint speed he isnt able to catch players like ben yedder, what sissoko could. However, his defensive positioning and pass interceptions are good. But again, when defending, that speed and agility depends a lot.
I am not sure if I should play him or smash him to sbc because of high rating.
On the other ide, I must say its kinda fun to play with him, when gameplay is good, you really feel that you control the game with him, like he does irl.
I got him untre, but 230k is good price for him if you dont want meta players and want to enjoy the game, especially if u are RM fan.
