91 - TOTS

4.5

Dutch octapus

By goncalopolicarpo, 04-06-2021

Battle tested in the weekend league, over 30 games as a CDM so I feel like I can give you a good insight into how he performs. I think he is versatile enough to play in other areas of the pitch, but when it comes to the midfield, I think he fits better as a CDM on a two midfielder formation or as a CM or a three midfielder formation. Can also see him being effective as a fullback or as a CB.

Spoiler alert: He is good, so if he fits your team I advise getting him, really cool card!

His pace in midfield is fantastic to have;
Phenomenal passing on every aspect with his left foot. With his right foot its still good, except when it comes to Long balls over the top, be mindful of that;
Shot power is king, if he gets in positions where he can score, he will score most of the time and has good long shots on him, very good shooting overall for a CDM;
99 penalties is an underrated thing to have in your team, feels great to have such a beast to take my pens;
Good free kicks means that he is a great option to take all your set pieces. Will deliver good crosses on corners and score the odd goal or two from free kicks inside 30 meters;
Phenomenal interceptions, by far my favorite aspect about his defensive ability, really really good! Tackling is also great;
Not the tallest, but tall enough to bully most players, he feels very strong and very agressive, wins most duels in the air defensively and his stamina is elite;
Dribbling is alright for a CDM, isn't as clunky as Leroy Fer for example;
Cheap, eredivisie and dutch links, cool traits and cool dynamic image;
Left footed player, they are somewhat rare so its cool to have a few on your team, especially one in the midfield;
Versatility, can perform on every defensive position I imagine, even though I didn't test it. I think he would be a very good leftback or even CB.

I think his medium defensive workrate can be a problem at times, sometimes I felt like he was not supporting my CBs, even with stay back on attack instructions. Suggest trying the "position between CBs" instruction because he can be a bit lazy and thats my biggest complaint about him;
dribbling isn't good enough to play a box to box in my opinion, especially considering the 3 star skills;
3 star weak foot lowers his ceiling as a long passer and as a long shot taker.

Pretty good!

So i wake up on thursday morning, dreaming of an ndombele for my team and my gold three rewards give me this guy. I stick him in my team with a little help from van bergen and i go into some div rivals. He. Is. Class. The 2 star weak foot isn't as noticeable as on other cards as my cdms generally just wait for the attackers to come to them and then tackle.he replaced mid Gattuso in my team and i don't see the icon ge...

Good Box-To-Box Mid

When the Eredivise cards came out I knew it was the perfect opportunity to bring back club legend Klaiber to my squad and still be able to link my untrad De Jong TOTS, so I decided to pair him with Koopmeiners as CDMs in a 442. Koopmeiners was a pretty good buy for 130k. His pace was a bit underwhelming but he did surprisingly good in beng there both in supporting the attack and then helping Frekie hold the line in front of...

Cheap Gullit - solid like a rock

When I opened my web app early in the Thursday morning I was hoping for Rat King or Mr Haircut, but I thought that this Fella from Eredevisie is also ok, as I have already Robben and Klaiber. Well, I'm surprised by his quality. I had gold Goretzka and Kimmich as CDMs, so he kicked Leon out. And it was very good decision. He's cheap Gullit, as he can both defend and attack. He already scored 2 goals from corners in 7 fut cha...
