Player Review
98 - FOF PTG
Having loved his showdown, still my go to mid/def supersub until this card was released, I had to get my hands on it.
Playing CDM in a 352 alongside the more attacking TOTS Aouar. Aouar has added goals, and Acuna is more than capable of handling the defense on his own. I usually played 2 defensive tasked mids with attacking stats just a bonus. This new dynamic setup has won me more games. The only card I could imagine doing the job is TOTS De Jong, but I didn't have the coins.
If you have tried him, De Jong has the capability of catching up to attackers and stripping the ball cleanly and consistently. Other CDMs are more brute force or positioning. Acuna is the best of both worlds. He's a bull with finesse.
He hasn't contributed much in attacking stat-wise, but he is still critical. Despite being my only defensive mid, without hesitation I take the ball forward with him as I know he can track back. When he beats a defender, which he can easily do, I'm now looking at 6 players attacking players in front of him... in this Fifa that wins you games.
...he hasn't been upgraded yet
TRACKING BACK
Doesn't effect my play, just use other outlets... but jumping/heading
