94 - Summer Heat
4.5
Box to box monster
By robbert238, 25-06-2020

First of all sorry if my English isn't correct as I'm not English myself. Let's start the review.


I just did I review on Moments Drogba as I decided to buy him to link up to this Kessie card as I found Kessie quite hard to link. So linking them together could be a tip ;).


When I saw this card in the objectives I knew I needed to get him. Especially for how 'easy' he is to complete. So I completed him and gave him a go as a box to box midfielder. Because of his high-high workrates and his good stats both attacking and defending wise I thought that would be a great idea. And well it was a great idea, this guy is an absolute machine and you find him back everywhere on the pitch. I use him both my CDM's on balanced which gives them the freedom to just go there way. This card is very good for that tactic as he helps the forwards but when you get countered he is back within seconds.


His pace could be improved that's why I use a shadow on him. He feels really fast in-game, which surprised me because he is huge.


His shooting for a CM/CDM is good, it's not insane but its definitely good for his position in the field. His passing and dribbling are perfect for me, I'm a passing player so I don't dribble often and he fits that playstyle perfectly.


His defending and his physicals are more then endgame (especially with the shadow chemstyle). He bullies every attacker/midfielder of the ball and he cuts out the passing lines very good.


All in all I really enjoy this card and if you have the time to still finish him, or you have him floating around in your club as an SBC fodder. Go on and give him a go, he will surprise you and near the end of the game is just a really fun card to play with.

  • Everywhere on the pitch
  • Decent shooting as a CM/CDM
  • Bullies attackers of the ball
  • Free to get
  • Linkability
  • Pace not endgame (with shadow it is tho)
  • Bit clunky with his skills (if you are a skiller)

By ViralGamerMXRAYADOS, 29-06-2020

SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH IS NOT MY FIRST IDIOM, WELL I DO THE OBJECTIVE TO GET THIS KESSIE AND I NEED TO SAY THAT HE IS A COMPLETLY A BEAST, I USE HIM IN A 5-2-1-2 FORMATION, I USED HIM WITH ANCHOR, HI PLAYS LIKE THE CENTER DEFENDER AND HE IS A BEAST 98 DEFENDING AND 99 PHISIC, Y ALSO PLAYED HIM AS A MEDIELFIER AND HE ALSO IS A BEAST, HI IS SO GOOD IN DEFENSE AND SO GOOD IN ATACK, HE IS A TANK

-HE HAS A SO GOOD PHISIC WITH ANCHOR

-HE HAS A DECENT PACE, WITH ANCHOR OR SHADOW HE IS A BEATS

-HE IS A BOX2BOX OR A CENTRAL DEFENDER

-ALL HIS STATS ARE GOOD

HE HAS 4 STARS ON SKILLS AND 4 ON BAD FEET

-I DONT FIND ANY CONS, HE IS A BEAST, HE IS THE PERFECT PLAYER

Franck Kessie Worth Doing?
By Royceschultz, 20-06-2020

I mostly used this Kessie as a CDM in a 4231 paired with Allan. I wanted to test Kessie's shooting so I set his player instructions to balanced on attacking runs as he has high/high work rates, and they definitely show, he gets forward to support your CAM's and ST but then sprints back to break down the counter. The 4* 4* is also very nice for an objective player and for a midfielder. I Played him with a shadow to really boost his acceleration which he lacks for a player at this stage in the game. I did try him as a CM and put an engine on him to boost both pace and some agility, but even with the chem style he only has 86, but his in-game dribbling and balance make up for it, but that doesn't mean you want to weave between defenders with him, he's more of a player you keep at the edge of the box to cycle the ball around and also take a shot every now and then when the chance presents itself. I will try more chem styles but I really would stick to a shadow if you are playing him in a very defensive role were the agility isn't as important, and an engine for a more all-round midfield role. I felt no issues with his passing and he is good at those one-twos because of his attacking positioning and ability to make runs. One thing that was a bit disappointing was his finesse shots, while I'm aware that finesse isn't big in this game and he doesn't have the trait it still left a lot to be desired. But all around a great CM and CDM also very easy to complete and even if he doesn't go in your team, might as well do him for prime icon pack fodder

Interceptions

Attacking positioning

Passing in the final 3rd

Defensive awareness

Not clinical in the box

Not great with dribbling past multiple opponents.
