Player Review
87 - What If SBC
After 103 games, I felt like I had to share my experience with him, even if he his expired and you can't get him anymore, I want to give you guys my opinion about him because im happy I did his SBC.
I play him as a stay back CDM, next to Curtis Jones, who is my box to box midfielder.
He gives my team a lot of stability just by being a monster physical presence and at the same time a masterful distributer of the ball, while also proving to be a super dangerous aerial threat in corners or other set pieces.
If I had to compare with any other player, I would say he is the dutch Vieira.
- Herculian strenght, very tall and stocky. His big ass frame makes him super hard to get around, you can't shield the ball away from him;
- Absolute beast in the air, wins every header in midfield and is one of the best if not the best aerial threat I used this year when it comes to corners. I have had games where he scored twice from corners alone.
- Defensive menace, his standing tackles are fantastic and his interceptions are also very good. His positioning is good so dont get discouraged by his lowish defensive awareness, with the right instructions and his high defensive work rate he will be where you need him most of the time.
- Brilliant passing with either foot, just masterful playmaking, which is absolutely key since he is not the type of player you want with the ball for extensive periods of time. First touch passing with him is super consistent so you can use him as the link between defense and attack with quickness and consistency.
- Good pace for a CDM, he doesn't feel super fast but you also don't notice a lack of pace, he has just enough to cause problems to the opposition.
- Shooting is very good for a CDM. I have scored a couple of nasty longshots with him and his finishing is surprisingly good thanks to his insane 98 shot power.
- 4 star weak foot, helps with passing and shooting.
- Dives into tackles trait makes his interceptions and standing tackles even better
- Clunky guys, very clunky, you really want to get rid of the ball as soon as possible when you are using Fer because his dribbling is not good
- 3 star skills, would be less of a problem if he wasn't so clunky
