96 - TOTS
I was kinda lucky in picking him in my wl rewards, and obviously I put him next to my Rio baby ready for the incoming Weekend League. I don’t know if it was a matter of connection or maybe gameplay, but he didn’t seem that beast he is supposed to be according to his stats: that HIGH attacking workrate may be a problem, because sometimes he tried to run across the midfield and left Rio alone against the attackers. So I decided to use a 5221, in order to make him play as a CM (next to TOTS Kovacic) in a 442 in game, with a “stay back while attacking” role: best decision ever. He is a great midfielder, CDM or CM doesn’t matter, he is fast enough to play in that position and his defending stats are amazing to build a wall in front of your CBs. His passing is good too, you just have to make the opponents fly with a standing tackle and then start your attack by passing the ball to your wings or CAMs. Moreover, he has 99 penalties and 91 freekicks, so he’s kinda dangerous in those situations too. I don’t know which one should be his right position on the pitch, he’s just too good in doing both.
Amazing pace for a CB, good enough for a midfielder
Good passing
Those physical stats make him a wrestler
99 heading and penalties
88 agility (even more with engine)
You can use him as a CB or CM/CDM, can do both
High attacking workrate may be a problem
