Player Review
88 - ShowDown SBC
This guy is a cenct player, I've used him mostly as a RCM in a 433(5) formation. The instructions i use on him are all the default settings except for the defensive coverage, wich i've set to cover the inside. I used him this Weekend League and he scored a couple goals, made some nice assists. During those games i got a feeling that he was 8 out of 10 times in the right position to recieve the ball and pass it trough. Defensive he wasn't always on the right place to intercept the ball but maybe that had something to do with my tactics. But one problem I experience with him is his stamina, around the 60th or 70th minute he isn't that fresh anymore and will be caught of position a lot.
Tolisso was the replacement for my gold Goretzka(84), which i liked, which also scored goals and made some nice assists. To compare these to players: Goretzka's body is a bit taller and can more easily win more air battles but on the ground i found that Tolisso was better to win man-to-man battles. Now the big question: should you get him? To be fair, if you're a meta player and you can't fit him in your team then I'd say defintly not. But if you are in need of an upgrade for your midfield then I'd defintly advise you to do him, because he can be an asset for most french or bundesliga teams. And then there is that other question: will he stay in my team? Probably he will, it depends on the next days what EA will release for the Bundeliga POTM March, if Goretzka will be that player then Tolisso will keep playing as a RCM, with deadeye chem. style, but if not I'd probably get Pirlo for the RCM position and tolisso will be demoted to a CDM, with a backbone chem. style.
