Defensive beast, a QB in the attack

By Cormac710, 15-01-2021

I packed this legend a few months and was a bit concerned about his pace. I had kante at the time but tried him out and before the weekend was over I had decided to sell kante.

I play him as a CDM with stay back and anytime my opponent tries to attack or counter im confident he will jump in to save the days. His interceptions are out of this world and also very strong with unbelievable tacking allowing him to win all 50:50 balls and even a lot of 40:60 against him which more than makes up for his lack of pace.

His passing is pin point perfect even with his left foot (which has 3 stars) which I never hesitate to use. For me he is the key link between my defence and attack as he is able to ping passes through any gaps in the opponents mid field or defence. He may not get the most assists but its him who allows my attacking players to express themselves with cutting edge through balls or passes straight to their feet. If im being pressed and need an outlet in midfield he is often available for the pass while only having 3* skills moves, dont worry with his strength he will hold onto the ball and find a beautiful pass under pressure. He can also head one in too from a corner

When the push is on in games nearing the end a goal or two down im more inclined to let him get forward more. While its not his most comfortable position if he gets space just outside the box he can have a pop with his long shooting and even inside the box you can count on him to finish it off. However, this is where his only con is, dont shoot with his left foot if possible.

Overall an absolute beast who is easily the most consistent player on the my team wining a lot of MOTOM's even when he does score just from the amount of interceptions, tackles and passes he makes.

Stamina - never tires which is a great asset for WL. It definetly helps his pace later on in games when hes still running and other players are tired
Tackling - absolute beast
Passing - pinpoint and great for getting out of trouble and starting attacks
Strength - never pushed off the ball but pushes many off it
Shooting - he know how to find the posts when let forward in a tight game
Heading - he can use his head more than one reason

3* skills - makes up for it tho with passing of such accuracy and strength holding the ball
3* weak foot - only really noticeable when shooting.

The Fußballgott!!

DONT BE AFRAID ABOUT HIS PACE! I've seen sooo many people saying that his card is unplayable because of the 68 pace and oh boy are they wrong!I'm using him as left cm in 4-1-2-1-2 or 4-4-2 and he is really good. He can do anything! His shooting is good, he can finish 1v1 situations with ease and his finess shots are also decent. (im using him with a hunter chem to boost his shooting a bit since im using him more as a...

Very good CDM

I was looking for a good CDM and I wanted to try an icon so i settled on Schweini. He is great at the CDM position. His defending, physicality and passsing are key. He always found my wingers with a good throughball and has a great buildup play. I had him on stay back for attacks and he was brilliant. always Buildung up the attack from the centreline and even creating chances from the back. Allthough he didnt score many goa...

Best box to box

Best box 2 box in the game, using him as a middle cm in 4-3-1-2 and he is really good, he is very underrated because of his speed but if you put a shadow it doesnt feel that slow, he is a little clunky but still a really good box 2 box. His shooting is amazing with both legs, passing is also really good, dribbling is average, he has 77 balance and 76 agility which is not the best but still better than many players, defense ...
