Player Review
87 - What If
I got him in an 81+ player pick and I knew that I wanted to try him. I played him as an attacking cm next to Tonali with an engine. The formation was 3-4-1-2. He is really good on the ball and partnered well with a more defensive midfielder like Tonali. The extra pace in midfield is really devastating on the counter-attack and his dribbling is such that you can get into good positions in the box and shoot with him. His shot isn't incredible but it's not bad either. In defense, you can tell he has lower stats, and the work rates really hurt him. However when he does get in one on one scenarios his strength, size, and half-decent tackling help him get the ball. Overall if you're looking for an attacking cm and you can fit him into your team you should get him.
- Pace
- Passing
- Dribbling
- Physical Presence
- Not the best work rates for cm, I was using him in a box to box role
- Stamina, my playstyle is such that I keep much of the ball in my opponents half so he doesn't have to do much running;however, if you are a player that plays on the counter or likes to sit a bit deeper I don't think he'll last past the 70th minute.
