Player Review
91 - Icon
First of all I want to say that I have never done a review and that I will be very objective and not bias on this.
So I packed this guy in the prime icon pack and was really excited although I wasn't sure where I could play him since I used to play a 4312. I tried him in the CDM position in the 4312 but didn't like him so I changed up to a 4411 and played him CM with mid Gerrard on his side and baby kaka behind future star kulusevski.
I was absolutely shocked on how unbelievably good this card is. His work rates are fantastic, he knows exactly when to stay back and when to go forward and help the attack. Despite being 6'4 he feels agile and does not feel clunky at all. He is dominating on the field. His passing ability is fantastic in fact I believe he has only missed 3 passes in 27 games. His body type and his strength make his ability to defend the ball very good, he hardly loses the ball. He has scored 18 goals in 27 games with 8 assists. At least a third of the goals he has scored come from corners. He is terrific in the air and with the power header traits 1 out of 2 corners turn into a goal for me.
This guy is the best player I have ever had and I cannot stress this enough. He is decently fast, strong, great passer, unreal defending skills and terrific in the air. I used to be in div 4 at 1400 skill rating, in 1 week I played 27 games and went from div 4 to div 2.
- complete midfielder, he has everything you want from a midfielder.
- great passer
- strong presence on the field and great heading ability
- scores bangers from outside the box
- a 6'4 kante defensively
- although I want to be very objective, I do not see a downside to this card
- he is very expensive and few people can afford him
