91 - Icon Moment
The number one question, who's better? him or kante? And the answer is kante.....at getting into position to make that initial takle and makele at everything else. I find kante is more agile and hunts down the ball better than most other cdm's in the game but doesn't always retain the ball after the tackle due to his low strength. Kante is also prone to errant passing which lead to loss of possession and counter attacks.
Makele also hunts down the ball really well just not quite as good as kante but his 88 strength and 91 aggression mean that when he makes a tackle if the ball rebounds he is on it. His passing also feals superior helping to build attacks.
Ive played kante as alone cdm but preferred using mctominay h2h as a lone cdm due to the need for high strength so as to win the takle first time.
I no longer use either. Makelele for me all day long.
I got relegated from div 3 all the way to div 5 recently due to the 5-3-2, FB at CB meta that I refuse to play and he has dragged me back up to div 3 in 15 games. What a beast. Hope this helps you decide.
P.s try to have some fun
