So I immediatly did this Card just because of the neymar link and plus this card is insane.
Ive used this Card in 10 Weekend league matches so far and he has been brilliant.
He is very fast and and feels good on the ball.
His defending is great and eventhough he was pushed off the ball a few times against players with high phisicality it was still good enough.
His passing was just what you needed because he can do good short passes.
The only thing he doesnt have is a shot so I ywould definitly use him as a stay back while attacking midfielder.
he has 3 star weekfoot and skillmoves but both were not a problem for me
overall a great player that i defo recommend.

Finally a good ligue 1 midfielder!
First of all i know this can be kinda annoying but i would just remind you guys that im not english speaking before you roast me.
I completed this guy as soon as he came out for obvious reasons. Not only does he have really good stats he also hyperlinks to the one and only Neymar Jr! The first thing i did when i was done with him was stick him into my squad next to my Neymar and my Bernat and damn did he fit that role. The combination of the 80 speed and the 88 defending is actually discusting, i mean he is literally one of the best midfielders ingame. I am a top div 3/bottom div 4 player and he wrecked my opponents rashfords and manes!
I personaly play him as the central defensive midfielder on stay back in a 433(5) with Ramos and Varane behind him.
I use him with a shadow to jack off that speed just a little bit more but honestly i think an anchor would be more than fine if you want some more strenght. I have previously used both Kante, Seedorf baby, Gullit baby and Khedira flashback but this guy is a whole new level of broken.
The only bad thing i would say is dont use him as a box to box midfielder because if so he will be dead around the 70th minute.
Pace:
His pace is not quite Adama Traore level but its easily enough for a defensive midfielder. He often will save you from sticky situations even against faster attackers.
Shooting:
I mean his shooting is honestly quite dreadfull but thats kinda what you should expect from a guy with 60 shooting. He can sometimes score if he is close enough to the goal but generaly i wouldnt recommend shooting with him.
Passing:
His passing is honestly exceptional for a player at his position. his vision can sometimes be kinda sus but the short- and long passing are amazing. You wont ever be dissapointed with his passing.
Dribbling:
His dribling is ok at most. He is ok at left stick dribling but i would suggest to keep it simple.
Defending:
This is where its his time to shine. Marquinhos never fails a tackle and has amazing postitioning! If you are at least alright at the game he is absolutely incredible. No matter what pass your opponents try to play he's there, try to pass it to the wing? MARQUINHOS. Try to pass it to the striker? MARQUINHOS. Try to pass to the goalkeeper? MARQUINHOOOOS.
Physical:
He is not incredibly strong, but with how this game is its easily enough. In fifa 21 you don't necesairily need that much strenght so he definitely has enough.
TLDR: Absolutely broken and would be half a mil in a better league.

Sometimes balance
Stamina if you use him as box to box
So I played 10 games with this guy and I think hes a must do... hyperlink to Neymar and insane defensive stats with really good passing skills.
Just look at his stats, with an Anchor hes the perfect defensive CDM...
If you dont do this SBC you regret it.
nothing more to say...
- hyperlink to Neymar and other really good strong links (Mbappe, Verratti etc...)
- Pace
- Defending
- Passing
- Workrates
- Vision, Strength and Stamina could be a little better
- average Dribbling
One of my first reviews so please excuse any errors. So I had some ligue 1 players and was considering getting verratti Freeze and expecting to either pack or buy neymar at a later date, I completed Marquinhos Freeze. I did him for free so I hoped I had not wasted part of my fodder on him and oh boy it was so worth doing. Playing him as a centre back in a 352 (squad is linked) he was very solid. His pace was very good with a shadow, he seemed as fast as Joe Gomez even though I only had him on 8 chem. He had outpaced some very fast players such as adama and some other player with 90+ pace, even though some were later in the game it was still very nice to see. His defending was very good, he rarely placed a foot wrong and his awareness allowed him to be in the right place with lots of plays, his interceptions were great but since he played as a centre back they didn't show as much as they would if I played him as a CDM. In the air he was very solid and his Jumping made up for his height being a little low. His physicals were overall good for a CB, but his stamina would show if he was played as a CDM, his strength was not great nor terrible but tackling made up for anytime where he couldn't outmuscle players.He felt good on the ball but not on the same level as many more agile players but it doesn't matter that much but he was not terrible. his passing was excellent, he was able to play almost perfect passes as he should with his stats, on some pass his vision was not great but he was able to play overtop through balls perfectly, he could have easily had a few assists if I was not trying to learn time finishing. His shooting, one of the few bad things on this card he scored one goal off of a header which is always nice to see but he had a chance inside the six yard box where he hit the post off of a power shot but that was his only chance lime that, but playing him as a stay back CDM or as a CB it doesn't really matter.

I'm not gonna write long rewiev. I just did it for link neymar. He is very long and quick. I expect more clunky animations but he is not clunky. Good positioning, ok dribbling and passing. Dont try use shoots cuz its a stay back CDM or CB for me. Only problem is stamina. When i play with him in CDM, he gets tired after 70-75 min. In cb position, he will be fine. I play cdm first half and change with a cb after that. I solved this problem like this.
-Height
-Speed
-Agile animations
-Good interceptions
-Neymar perfect link
-Stamina if u play at CDM
When I first saw this card, I knew I had to complete it and slap him into my team. Where do I begin with this guy?
First of all, his pace is very good for a cdm. With the anchor chemistry style, he'll have no problem keeping up with strikers like Aubameyang, Mbappe, Werner, Martial and so on. While a guy like Rttf Zakaria has better pace, his agility and balance really compensate in this department.
His passing, especially for a cdm, is so good. The combination of 80 vision, 94 short and long passing almost guarantee you won't misplace a pass. I didn't find his 64 curve that big of a problem.
His dribbling is decent enough. The 77 balance and 74 in-game dribbling do affect him, but the reactions, composure and ball control really help him out. Wouldn't recommend dribbling with him unless needed (for example, to create space by dribbling away from the opponent).
While he has 86 attacking positioning and nice shot power, his finishing is terrible and you shouldn't take your chances with him. I feel like most people have their cdm's on stay back while attacking, so this category is irrelevant.
Defending is pure filth, it's the only way I can describe him. He just pockets everybody with ease.
And now comes the problem, his physical. His jumping, stamina and aggression are very good, but his strength isn't. He occasionally gets bodies and I Feel like the anchor is really helping him. I've tried many different cdm's and I found 83-85 strength to be the standard. Guys like Goretzka, Zakaria and Milinkovic-Savic body players with ease.
In conclusion, if you are looking for a great but not so expensive cdm and you can fit him in your team, do it.

This is my first review on here, I just had to...I'm in division 1, Rank 1 and I played 10 games with this guy as my only DM in the 4-1-2-1-2 wide. with Di maria as CAM. He had 5 assists from the DM position cause other than his obvious great defending, this guy's passes are clean and neat to get forward play going. I find his defensive positioning solid, he intercepts any ball close by and easily catches up if on the off chance he ever happens to be left behind. 3-star skill and weak foot but i don't find that to be a problem while using him. he is agile
Great defensive positioning and recovery
Very nice pace for a CDM
Agile on and off the ball
Great passing
3-star weak foot
3-star skill moves but his agility makes up for it
So I am a very lucky person and I managed to pack neymar untrad, so I've been using him for ages. I used bernat and andre to get the 10 chem to him, but when I saw Marquinhos it was an instant buy, and it was a great decision that I've made. I've used him in Div Rivals and friendlies to complete icon swaps and the first thing I'll say is that he never seems to be in the wrong positions, he's never out of his natural LDM and he's always there. He makes great tackles quite a bit and his interceptions are phenomenal I find. He barely misses a pass but on the occasion, he will. His dribbling is a bit meh but it's still not too bad, he does feel good on the ball, and I find him to be quite quick for a CDM. I haven't really gotten to try out his shooting a whole lot yet, but he doesn't really go for headers but will unleash an occasional screamer from outside the box because of his shot power. Overall, Marquinhos is a brilliant card and if you've got Neymar he is a must-have in your team, definitely the best CDM in Ligue 1.

Well, where to start with this card. The first thing I can tell you: I just hope you did him.
We all know how this freeze promo was just bad. By far this guy is the best SBC of this promo.
--> Reasons to do the SBC:
*I think everybody was happy to finally get a strong link to Neymar (not everyone has Mbappé).
*He is such a beast in the midfield as a CDM
*Great stats
*You can play him CDM of CB
*Value for coins.. at this price you won't find a lot of better options
*Easy to link
--> How to play him:
*CDM: slap a shadow on him and play him as a CDM with stay back instruction and cover center. He will be such a beast. Play him nest to a 2nd box to box CM like Renato IF / Wijnaldum this kind of versatile players.
*CB: slap a shadow or anchor on him and play him next to a fast CB like Kounde / Varane.
*Position change: Another option is to switch him in game with Koeman (if you go for him in Icon Swaps) and play him CB and put Koeman as CDM.
--> How he feels in game:
This guy was like Freddy Krueger in the midfield. A real nightmare for your opponent because he is strong, fast and his passing is so good. He reminds me little bit of Witsel Futmas in FIFA 20 with a better stats and much better passing. He is simply so good. His positioning is great if you play him with stay back. Watch him chasing everyone in the pitch.
I strongly recommend you to play him with a 2nd agile and box to box CM / CDM. If he is amazing in defensive area this card have also some weaknesses such as agility and dribbling (of course you are not playing with Gullit). Thats the only weakness I can give to this card as he is insane in game. I hope you did him guys.
Sorry for my English.
Stay safe and enjoy.

Dribbling
This card is actually insane! He can literally do everything - Defend, Dribble, Pass, Shield the ball, and Shoot. He may have 60 shooting, but that stat is misleading - He is able of scoring bangers from out- and inside the box. He is a rock-solid CM/CDM - reminds me of a better version of Kante. He has very good passing play, which is perfect for people who use fast forwards. His dribbling is decent - not Neymar-esque but it's enough for a CDM. His pace is really good, making him a perfect Box-To-Box midfielder. In my opinion, this guy is definitely a meta player. He could be considered an End-Game card by some people. if you have higher standards you can play him until TOTS.
