Player Review
85 - Squad Foundations
This card takes 4-5 hours of playing to get, but the great thing is, you just need to play 18, you don't have to win or score at all so you can do something for the community and give away 18 free wins and help people with objectives. I used Lerma with a shadow chem style at CDM next to Andres Tello storyline, Kamara Rulebreaker LB, Marcelo 90 and Christian Romero 84 CBs, 86 Cuadrado RB, and 84 red Martinez GK. My attack was SIF Muriel LAM, Okocha prime CAM, Ben Arfa FB RAM, and Falcao ST. I played all matches in div 3, and I usually get gold 2 in WL.
If you have Tello to link this card you are set, these 2 give the perfect balance of assets in CDM for FREE. Tello has pace and playmaking ability and is just all over the place for 90 mins, and Lerma can just sit back and chill. But once you get near this mofo he turns into prime Roy Keane, his tackles and interceptions are so quick and aggressive it is amazing. His pace is not incredible, but good enough for a CDM, something I like about this card is he feels very agile on defense. Side to side he feels like 90+ agility, which is weird for a man of his size and power. Dribbling he doesn't feel that agile, but still he can dribble pretty well. Passing is good, no complaints or praises there. He isn't like Pirlo, but much better than Kante. I didn't really get to shoot with him, so I don't know what to say here other than his FUT Swaps card in FIFA 19 had good long shots, and this card has decent stats in that area, so his long shots are probably decent. Defensively this card is AMAZING his positioning is great aggression outstanding, tackling standing and sliding very good, he intercepts everything near him, and his strength and body type as well as agility added to that make his defending elite. Physically this card is very solid as well. Good strength, his stamina has never got me worried once, but maybe if you played him b2b it could be an issue, but I doubt it. His jumping and heading are good, his strength and aggression just add to that.
This is an amazing card for free. You can get a very good LB easily while doing the Lerma objectives, which is nice. I rarely give a card 5 out of 5 stars, but this Lerma card is my first review this year that has got it, even in my like 20 reviews last year, I only gave 5 of them 5 stars, and I only review cards that stand out in a good way, not a bad way.
