Player Review
84 - UEL Live
To start off I just want to say this is my first review. Now when the party bag sbc came out I thought, might as well give it a try, I had loads of fodder so it didn't cost me anything, as you can imagine I got him out of the pack and I was screaming! I had his 82 IF in my concept squad for weekend league and I was buzzing to try out his much more expensive card. As of writing this review I've played 3 weekend leagues with him and he's INSANE. In-game I play him at CDM alongside 85 Joao Cancelo, and he's a BEAST. He goes into every tackle strong, intercepts EVERYTHING and is a joy to play with, so far in this weekend league, he's scored 5 goals from defensive midfield, more than the penalty merchant himself (Bruno Fernandes). But if you want to buy him i'd recommend waiting until Lille play Ajax in the Europa league (just in case they lose the first leg and the card's price will drop dramatically.) Sanches is THE best midfielder I've used so far and would definitely recommend if you can afford him. If he does progress to the next leg of the Europa league, beating Ajax, his card will join the Gullit Gang (all of the face stats are 80+.) For the chemistry style I'd go with shadow to improve his pace and defending, with the shadow applied his stats look like this (at 10 chem): Pace 95, Dribbling 87, Shooting 81, Defending 87, Passing 83 and Physical 87. As you can see his shooting his is worst stat but don't get me wrong, he can still score a 'worldie' from outside the box.
Pace (85)
All round good stats
Physicality - Jumping (88) Stamina (93) Strength (83) Aggression (90)
Dribbling - Very agile and quick for a CDM
