Player Review
96 - TOTS
I was lucky enough to pack this card from the EPL guaranteed, and he has been one of the best if not the best midfielder I've used this year. De Bruyne is everything that you could want from a box to box midfielder, and he has been immense for me. With a shadow, he is fast enough, has great shooting, insane passing, good dribbling, defending, and physicals. I wouldn't recommend him in any other position other than a CM in like a 442, 41212(2), 433, etc. He doesn't quite have the defensive stats to play as a CDM, and doesn't have the dribbling and pace to play in the attack. He is best suited in the CM position due to his High/High workrates. He makes great attacking runs into the box leading him to score and assist a lot of goals. His 5* WF along with his passing stats means that he'll never miss a pass, and will score some bangers. He can also win the ball back with his decent height and defending. His unique body type saves his dribbling, and he doesn't feel clunky at all. If I could compare him to a midfielder I've used this year it would have to be RTTF Wijnaldum, but 10x better. Overall, if you need an EPL or Belgium CM, he is worth the coins!
