96 - Flashback SBC
So I have used this Modric card for all of five games, so please keep in mind that the sample size is rather small. However, in these six matches, Premium Flashback Modric has controlled the midfield playing right CM in a 433(4). Since CMs act kind of like CDMs in this formation, his interception stat has been really noticeable. Whenever he finds himself in a passing lane, he gets the ball, and his pace, dribbling and passing allow him to quickly transition the game into the attack.
I have a counter-attacking play-style, so this has served me very well. Speaking of his pace, it feels faster than the stats would suggest, and I have left him on the original basic chem style. This must be due to his 90 acceleration, and since I rarely sprinted long straight lines with the player, the 83 sprint speed didn't hinder him much. For a midfielder, he has more than sufficient pace.
His passing has been excellent. He got two nifty backheel assists in the six-yard box in game 3 and has displayed the ability to thread the needle with long through balls and lobbed through balls.
It is his dribbling, however that has stolen the show. His control over the ball is total. It stays really close to his feet and he feels more responsive than any other player I have used this FIFA.
His shot has also been solid, though it is not THE reason to complete his SBC. I haven't really noticed his 82 finishing stat to be a weakness, though I will likely put a chem style on him to improve it a bit. He scored 4 goals in the 5 games, and all came from well within the 18-yard box. I have attempted maybe 5 or 6 longshots from around 20-24 yards out and, with my luck, hit the post three times, so his longshots have been quite dangerous.
All in all, he has slotted into my team very nicely and would probably go for 300-350K on the open market, so having the opportunity to get him for 200K is great!
