Player Review
85 - Icon
When I first packed this card I was highly skeptical, if it wasn't for his 1M+ price tag he looks like he would be a bang average midfielder already below the level of play. But as we know EA lies about stats on cards and this guy is the poster child of that idea. What his stats don't tell you is that he is ngolo kante but 6'4" and has hair. His pace and agility are completely crazy on a guy this size, he chases down attackers makes the tackle and most importantly retains possession. Blanc works hard and has that silky feeling unique to a few players. When you switch to him, he is ready to go, ready to receive the ball, make the tackle, or make the run. He is competent anywhere on the field (including in net where I played him twice for the memes). Blanc is absolutely worth the price, something I would never believe unless I was forced to try him. Really give him a try if you have the coins, you simply won't regret it.
- Pace (8.5 / 10): Maybe not rapid, but tons of pace in the midfield, all the pace you will ever need to pick off poor passes or lead a counter.
- Shooting (8 / 10): Scores the occasional goal and very capable from outside of the box
- Passing (8 / 10): Competent and effective, shouldn't be used as your long ball merchant but decent passing nonetheless.
- Dribbling (8.5 / 10): For his agility alone he is worth the price.
- Defending (10 / 10): Always makes the tackle, slenderman length legs means if you get within 2 meters of an opponent Blanc will do the rest
- Physical (9 / 10): He is 6'4", bullies the opposition, and never needs to be subbed.
- He is a General
- Versatility
- He's 1M+ and will likely stay that way for most of the game cycle
- He's not as cute as ngolo kante.
- Starts as a CAM where you wouldn't get the most out of him
