Hidden gem - no second CAM like him

By RNH7137, 12-10-2020

So this is my first ever player review - but I could not miss out on this one. To start off, I am a Div 3 player - 41212 (2) and I play Nakata as CAM on engine, stay forward and free roam. My play style bases on a solid defence and quick play forward with Nakata being the heart of the attacks literally. I played and loved Prime Del Piero last year - as he isn't out yet, I thought I would give this card a shot.

The key attributes for a player in this position to me are: medium/medium WR and min. 4*WF. Key stats (min 80+) are: long shot, shot power, vision, long pass, short pass, curve, dribbling, agility, reactions and composure. Now if you filter for this attributes, you won't find a second player fulfilling all criteria at the moment (Prime Del Piero is not out yet). So much about theory.

I have been playing Nakata for 20 games now and he has been fabulous. What I love most about the card, is his exceptional through passes - and not just direct assists but especially his second to last passes. He contributed to numerous goals indirectly by playing those important passes. Also his distance finesse shots from around the box are superb. Unfortunately he does lack a bit of finishing from inside the box.

As mentioned, I loved prime Del Piero last year - but I am not yet sure if I am returning to him as he is 4 times the price of Nakata, the only big difference being the finishing and 5* weak foot, which is probably not worth the price in the end. At the 300k that I got Nakata for - he is really a steal!

Exceptional through passes and second to last passes
Boy is he composed
Great reactions
Long distance finesse shots
Great agility and acceleration

Finishing inside the box
Decent defensive stats on the paper - not really great at winning balls for me though
Physicality - although if you are great on the ball, his lean bodytype, size, acceleration and dribbling make up for that
