Player Review
87 - Record Breaker
This card was sat on my bench during this past WL, a sub for my 'Arsenal' team because I was lacking 'current' players suitable for the role.
He was a super sub generally between 60 and 70 minutes to replace Xhaka. I have to say I didn't get to enjoy him as a player, I wasn't into football so I don't have quite the same connection as a lot of Arsenal fans.
Passing - His passing is amazing. Honestly pinpoint almost always.
Dribbling - he feels better than his card suggests. Really good fun to dribble with.
Pace - trust me, when you have a 50 pace player here replacing him with almost 80 pace is AMAZING. not super fast but a vast improvement, good enough normally too.
Shooting - He didn't get forward often, but he scored an absolute SCREAMER and almost scored more.
Stamina - he doesn't move much due to his work rates. As a super sub stam isn't an issue but 84 should be fine for him even from the start. You probably want to sub him in Extra Time however.
Defending - Even with a shadow his defending isn't great. A few missed tackles and bouncing balls galore.
Physical - It does feel better than the card for sure. But deffo missing something here to be meta.
Work rates - m/l is a bad work rate on any player. As a CDM its even worse.
Price - I would not pay the price for this card. There are many better alternatives.
