Player Review
85 - Halloween
I was lucky enough to pack this guy untradeable a couple months ago. And in those couple of months I have played a couple hundred games with him and this is what I have thought about him. I played him cm in 442 with a shadow. His pace is great. Combined with his aggression, even if an opposition player gets passed he's going to sprint back and either win that ball or cause a real nuisance for the opponent. His low strength is hardly recognisable and he still bullies the opposition off the ball. His passing and dribbling is fine. He isn't going to be neymar on the ball but he can still dribble past a player or two and find a pass to a teammate. I haven't found his shooting to be that good but he can finish everything you would expect a standard cm to finish. Overall, players like rttf Kessie might be better, but if you can't afford him, Nainggolan will do the job fine.
- pace (with shadow he is one of the fastest players ive used)
- passing (sure, he isn't doing world class passes every game, but he will find a man and hardly ever looses the ball when passing)
- defending (with shadow he always seems to be in the right place at the right time)
- aggression and stamina (can last a full game and will fight for the ball like there's no tomorrow)
- dribbling ( apart from agility, he is fine)
- strength (I didn't mind but a bit low for a cm/cdm)
- high attacking workrates (for a box to box these work rates are perfect. However, some times he pushes up field too much)
- 3*3* ( WF isn't very noticeable and I don't mind about the skills but some people might)
