Player Review
83 - FUT Freeze
Such an underrated and underpriced beast. I use him in his intended CDM role with a shadow and he's a beast. Unexpectedly quick with a shadow, which often catches opponents off guard, and his height and long legs means he takes big strides and can make up a lot of space in very few steps. His long legs are also so good when it comes to interceptions and tackling as it gives him that extra reach. Passes are reliable over both long and short distances, with him being able to play the ball short between CMs or long to the wingers without issue. Feels good on the ball, responsive and smooth even when doing skill moves (except fake shots but i mainly just do ball rolls to quickly adjust the angle for a pass). Can also outmuscle 90% of players with ease. I play him on stay back tactics so he rarely gets to the edge of the box, but when he has he's pleasantly surprised me, with 95 power and 80 long shots i don't bother with finesse I just put my foot through it and he always gets a good connection, he's even scored the odd screamer. On the whole very pleased with this card, is a good, reliable & cheap CDM alternative who can go the full 90 fairly easily, but tends to struggle with stamina in extra time, but most cards do. Would highly recommend as a solid CDM with good on the ball ability, but you could choose use Zakaria (cheaper and faster)
Speed - feels faster than you'd expect and covers ground well
Long shots- when needed he can really hit it and hit it well
Passing - crisp and reliable both short and long
Dribbling - Fairly smooth and responsive, especially for someone of his body time
Defence - absolute unit, his phsyicality and stats make him an absolute rock in the midfield
Work rates - Medium/High is perfect for a CDM
Height - even with the low jumping stat he still reliably wins headers and his long legs give him extra reach when tackling/intercepting
Price - for 15-20K he's an absolute steal
3* skills - if you like skills like the roulette, berboa spin, la croquetta etc. hes obviously not for you, but as a cdm who often only needs ball rolls this isn't too much of an issue
3* WF - affects his distribution as you can't rely on his left foot for an ideal pass, especially under pressure
Agility and balance - if you need to turn quickly to switch play he can struggle slightly
