Player Review
88 - UCL Live
Overall, this is hands down the best and the most bang-for-your-buck offensive-minded CM I've used. A massive upgrade to his pace and shooting (which is top notch already,) combined with very good dribbling and passing skills with a 5 star weak foot make him lethal wherever he may be involved in transition, on a counterattack, or just straight up open play in the final third of the pitch. whether he is playing the final ball, scoring a goal or, just as importantly, making the pass before the final ball, his precision is deadly. His pace with a hunter allows him to get in behind very easily, along with a 5* weak foot that is rarely matched by any goalkeeper. The reason he works so well for me is because I have him on FULL CHEMISTRY WITH FREE ROAM. If you use him any in any other type of formation or instructions, I obviously can't guarantee the same results. And again, I cannot get get enough of the 4star skills combined with the amazing 5star weak foot with great shooting/passing ability. If you need a moderately cheap game changer/match winner in tough situations from the midfield, here's your man.
God tier: weak foot (combined with great technical stats.)
Excellent: finishing anywhere inside 30 yards/ overall technical ability with the ball/ run intelligence (on free roam)/ he rarely makes a passing mistake (around 30-35 passes per game only 0-3 are off target or don't reach the receiver.)
Great: pace: he is very fast (91 pace with hunter)
Good: height (6 foot 2 combined with a nice 82 jumping)
Low tier: defense, but since he's fast and tall, this usually makes things a little easier. His defensive weaknesses aren't that big an issue because that's not really what he's in my squad for, and I have him partnered with gold Sissoko (79) and UCL live Sanson (82) who both always get the job done. Basically this means if you have him partnered with midfielders that are great ball winners, Draxler's defensive abilities aren't very important.
