Player Review

As soon as I saw this mate hitting the SBC's I realized this could be the CDM i was always looking for. Due to many untrades in my club I got him for 100k and didn't hesitate any second to complete his SBC. By looking at his stats I surely had some big expactations regarding his gameplay. Would he be worth the 500k he would cost someone, who has nothing left in his club ?

Afer trying him out for a few matches in DIV 1, i finally can give answers. But first of all, let's have a look on his stats before the final conclusion:

I played him as CDM in a 4-1-2-1-2 with stay back while attacking as his main instruction with a shadow chemistry style.

Pace 9/10

For a CDM/CM his pace is absolutely enough. He is not as quick as e.g. Kimmich TOTY but his pace is very balanced and very good. With the shadow chemistry style you can feel a positive difference for sure!

Shooting 9.5/10

To be honest. With playing him as my only CDM with stay back while attacking as instruction he surely doesn't get many chances to get a ball onto the goal. Therefore I played him 2 games in the CAM spot and yes, he can shoot. His shotpower is awesome and his shots are very accurate. Surprisingly his finesse shots are very OP. Scored me two goals from outside the box with the finesse of dreams.

Passing 10/10

I thought I do have a very good defensive player. But holy shit, his passing is on another level. His long passes are gorgeous and can't remind any bad pass from him which resulted in a goal for my opponent. He played like a playmaker from the cdm spot. He clearly was THE MAN when it comes to create an attack.

Dribbling: 9/10

Of course you don't get a dribbling like Messi or Neymar with this card. But his dribbling is very smooth, agile and quick. Perfect for the CDM spot when he is coming up against very agile players.

When Vidal is having the ball it was very hard for my opponents to get him off the ball due to his very close ballcontrol and physicality. Did I mention he has 5 star skills? :)

Defending 10/10

Guys, let me introduce to you the best defensive midfielder in the whole game. And yes I played with Firmino Freeze, Kimmich TOTY and Kante. But this card is on another level. His interceptions are out ouf this world and his tackling is so good. He doesn't foul the opponents player unless it's your fault due to bad timing. Best player I have used this year in this category.

Physical 10/10

It's the same as with the defending stat. An absolute monster when it comes to pushing other players off the ball. It doesn't matter wheter its CR7, Drogba or Neymar. Vidal will bury them down.

Value for coins:

As I said I did the SBC for 100k and therefore he is a 10/10 for me in this category. But even if you get him for the maximum of 550k he still is a 10/10. I compare him to the price of Firmino freeze back in the day for nearly double the price. Therefore Vidal is worth every coin you spend on him.

All in All

9.9/10

The perfect allrounder, made for everyone who wants to increase his team in the CAM, CM or CDM spot. If you can make him fit into your team, don't think twice!
