Clarence "the dominator" Seedorf

By Zosas, 10-12-2020

First review I've written, but after a long search for the ideal midfield player, this guy really deserves one.

The way I play demands a lot from my 2 central midfielders. They are the one that dictate the game, tempo en build-up.

Long have I played with Wijnaldum and was constantly searching for a good partner to pair him on midfield. (sissoko, de Jong, Llorente, Guardiola mid-icon etc.)

With de Gravenberch objective being released I decided to pair him up with Wijnaldum. Gravenberch being the more defensive type. Because Gravenberch is not easy to link I decided I wanted a world class icon.

This guy should have it all (ofcourse you pay much, so I expect much). Seedorf was always on my list, but could not afford him.

Finally I had to coins to buy him, so I took the gamble and let me say: he is exactly what I was looking for.

He plays LCM next to Gravenberch. His instructions are balanced and with high high workrates he is all over the pitch.

Gravenberch is the stay back midfielder (who also has excellent passing skills).

Despite is stocky bodytype and 79 agility, his dribbling feels really natural and smooth. He is not the quick turner like Neymar etc, but for a strong central midfielder he feels really smooth on the ball. Because of his strength he also very hard to take tackle and intercept the ball from. Especially if you use his body to shield off the ball.

His strength also is a big plus when it comes to defending. He has 71 defending, but with a shadow you can boost these stats to 80.

The greatest plus on Seedorf is his passing skills. His passing is so great, that almost every pass is accurate. Also because of my playstyle, I need a midfielder who acts as an architect on midfield and he does. He provides at least one assist per game, but is also involved in almost every attack.

Due to his high high workrates, this guy is all over the pitch. Joining the attack in the build up, but also providing defensive support.

Off the ball he feels really quick and smooth and on the ball there is no difference. Ofcourse he is not your speedy gonzales like Mbappe, but for this position that is not required.

If you are looking for a Gullit type of player, then he is the more affordable alternative. My guess is that he feels better than Gullit base icon, mainly because Gullit is 91kg.

High high workrates, 4 star weakfoot and 4 star skills. He is your missing link on midfield.

Still around 750k
He's not the speed dribbler if that is what you are looking for.

Clarence Seedorf the GOAT?

I don't know where to start on this one- He feels so smooth on the ball and with 4* 4* his skill moves feel very capable and can shoot on both feet. For me he feels like a more attacking Kante, he is a similar height and can slot in a CDM spot next to Kante where they play very well together. He can play box to box and a CAM role. He can shoot well and makes very strong attacking runs and seems to be in th...

Box-Box Beast

I packed him from my base icon pack on swaps and initially i thought it was an L, but looking at his 600k+ pricetag, i thought different. I play Clarence alongside Bruno in a 4-4-2 with an engine. He is absolute class. Whenever you forget about him you look after the game and he has 3 or 4 assists, and a 100% pass completion.His defending is as average as it comes, but can definitely tackle efficiently. He fee...

Just doesn't cut it for me at the top level

I packed this guy in my base icon pack, and seeing it was 700k-ish at the time, I was alright with it. It wasn't incredible but it definitely wasn't terrible, and having done an icon roulette instead of seeing the pack I was kind of happy that I didn't see Dutch CM :)I decided to play him as a box to box but starting as a more attacking CDM as I chucked a sentinel on him to boost his defensive attributes.
