Deco can play B2B (In depth)

By Zobdab2017, 12-03-2021

I have tried him out for several games now, usually as the RCM on balanced in a 4-3-3 (2) with an anchor. The reason I think he is well suited to a box to box role rather than central CAM is because if you try to do too much, his on ball strength, pace that isn't too amazing, and 4* skills mean he will get pushed off the ball.

Pace: 8.45/10: He moves pretty well and certainly isn't slow. I love his little bursts forward on the ball combined with something like a heel to heel or stepover. At an earlier stage it would be a 9 but now a lot of people have fast midfielders. It is a pro on the card for me

Shooting: 8.3/10: He is clinical from close range and his weakfoot feels better than 3*. His longshots are pretty good and I've been unlucky not to score more with him (posts and crazy saves).

Passing: 9.3/10: It is some of the best in the game. His switches of play and press resistance is exactly what you want. He plays nice through balls as well, almost never misses a pass.

Dribbling: 8.9/10: Deco can change direction very quickly and his body type is good for close control dribbling. However, if you get carried away he will get outmuscled. He gets out of tight spaces very well and has an excellent first touch.

Defending: 7.45/10: Deco is actually all right defensively. His aggression and strength off the ball feels quite good and he makes some nice interceptions sometimes. More than adequate for a CM and is definitely not a setback if you try to use him as a CM.

Physicality: 8/10: On the ball, he is weak, but off of the ball he certainly takes your opponent off guard. His surprising strength and aggression lets him win tackles and pounce on loose balls very well, which is very important for a CM. Stamina is pretty good

Conclusion: Deco is a very good midfielder and can play B2B or attacking CM, CAM, Wide CAM, false nine, and maybe even CDM. The defensive stats are definitely a lie and he feels about as good as fede valverde, although I have put an anchor on Deco. The passing is the best part of the card, but he has some nice pace and dribbling as well. A very solid all around player and will be good for quite a while.

Underrated Beast (Deco)

When Looking at this seasons icon swaps it is easy to become underwhelmed, but fear not, Deco is here to give you good value for your tokens. When I saw him I just knew I have to do him, with a plus 8 on his shooting compared to his prime card, you can definitely tell. He's really surprised me in the first five games I've played with him in rivals. His movements are quick, passe...

DECO ES MI FVCKING PADRE

es buenisimo, pienso que para los 7 tokens que vale es totalmente worth it, tiene mejor regate y velocidad de lo que me esperaba. No defiende casi nada y no tiene mucho fisico, es mas mco que mc, pero va perfecto en las dos posiciones igualmente.
