Player Review

89 - Rare

3.0

Had potential, lacks execution

By hanchett, 18-11-2020

Sprint speed is fine, over longer distances he feels more like a mid 70 to low 80 even without a shadow chem style on. Where he really suffers is in acceleration and his inability to close down players.

I generally keep my CDM back in a 4-1-2-1-2, while the CAM is more of a B2B. This requires the CDM to cover a ton of ground and I tend to play aggressively / try and get a tackle in before the break can really start. The problem with Casemiro is that he's never going to get close to the player on the ball. Any attacker is going to easily walk around him or make a quick pass in the time it takes him to get close enough for his physicals and defensive stats to matter.

I really wanted to like this card, but he is just not good enough compared to cheaper options at CDM like Llorente. Additionally, I found his stamina to be misleading. He was my first sub in every game I played in, and really struggled to make it past 60 mins.

Cherry on top is, I found his passing to be pretty poor in game as well (granted, passing took a major hit with the latest patch for all players).

Immense strength - if he can get a tackle in, he's winning the ball. Especially with how little refs call this year, you can get away with really taking out players.
Defense is solid, especially with the right chem

Pace is obviously his main lacking trait
Passing is not the best, especially since most people will want to throw a shadow on him instead of a powerhouse
Stamina does not play like a 90 - always the first sub around the 60th minute.

Casemiro

Another level of defending

Welcome to another review, this time a review of this sick card, Casemiro of the Freeze promo. I had bought Torreira Freeze but I said he would be the only one that I would get of this promo at the moment, but I didn’t expect that I would pack this beast in one of the two ultimate packs of icon swaps, also I would recommend you to do that, insane value and a chance to pack one of this cards!. At first I wasn’t so sure, ...

Casemiro

A Rock

Incredible. Interceptions and Strength are the standout attributes but do not sleep on his overall improvements in other departments this year. At present (07/10/2020) he is hovering at 30K. I would advise making it a priority getting him into your team. If pace is an issue for you with CDM, work your tactics to stay get him to stay back and cover middle. A shadow card makes this card mor...
