Player Review
87 - FUT Birthday SBC
Div 3/ Gold 2 Player - Play him with a hunter on 8 chem.
Broke my club with massive requirements and if he is worth it is something dependant on what the rest of your team looks like and the amount of fodder in your club. If you can afford him, I guarantee he will be an upgrade on most midfielders in the game. He's insane in most departments. But he's incredibly expensive.
I personally play him as a CM in a 4-3-3 alongside Rabiot and Birthday Thiago. He's on balanced and I want him to get forwards while also breaking up play. His work-rates suit this perfectly as I find him forwards while also always in a good position to intercept/ make a tackle.
At this stage in the game, the question you're asking is whether or not he is an end-game player. Yes. 10000%. He's impeccable. Worth the investment.
Controls the midfield and can do everything. Can't say I've used anyone as good as what he does this year, but then again I run an RTG so haven't played with the gullit's etc...
Pace- Feels really fast with a hunter. Good pace with great dribbling and strength really helps me break the lines and counter-attack quickly.
Shooting- With a hunter he feels insane. His shot is broken. Stats suggest it will be average but so far shots have been hard and accurate. In his first game scored a 30 year finnesee.
Passing. Passes are crisp and quick. Short/long 95% of the time accurate.
Dribbling- Not the best, but really good considering his position and other attributes. Made better by his pace.
Defending- I suspect many will put a shadow on him but even without a boost his tackling was good.
Physical- 97 Stam the guy can run for days. I like the 86 strength, he really controls the midfield alongside rabiot.
Despite being 5"9 his jumping stat will mean he will win you some headers
Just generally feels insane. One of those guys this year that are different gravy from others.
Work rates are another bonus, he's everywhere.
5* WF is the cherry on top for this guy.
Price
No notable cons, perhaps his free kicks or pens. Sometimes his passing is a bit off, but generally very good.
