Player Review
76 - Rare
He is only a 76 rated card. Why is he so good? A deep dive into this card and FUTBIN's filters tells the story. At 2021 game release, his stat profile is ONLY shared by three of the very best icons and one guy from Egypt. The key stats are:
Acceleration 90+;
Agility 90+,
Balance 91+,
Sprint Speed 90+;
Strength 72+
Who shares this stat profile with Frank? ONLY Pele, Eusebio, Maradona and Mo Salah.
He also has 91 stamina, and H/L. His body type, height and weight play a role as well. He is 5'6 (maradona is 5'5) and is the lightest player of the five aforementioned players, and is the only one with a short/lean body type.
Finally, in terms of a super sub he is unmatched. Frank's defensive stats, pace, balance, and strength are helpful at end game when you are using him to not only score but run down a break. For example, with basis chem his tackling goes to 64 (same as De Bruyne, Naby Keita and Sabitzer). While he can't tackle like Kante, Frank the Tank has the pace to actually catch the breakaway and either make a tackle or a hateful take-down foul.
If you choose to start him for the stat boosts, he can be hard to link, but you can work him into a Brazil or CSL hybrid. He has no perfect links and the only useable green links for me are Essien, Jonathon, the highest rated silver in the game, Wakaso, and the other CSL Ghana Striker Boateng.

Scoring with a 76 rated player is more fun than with a 92 rated player

Composure and weak foot; however, his physicals work to get him so clear to goal these don't matter as much.
