Lone CDM

By snarn, 28-10-2020

I packed this guy on Friday before starting my WL so i figured I'd use him for a weekend as he fits nicely with my untradeable Mbappe and Ben Yedder (yes, flex). He played as a lone CDM in 433(2) between Bernardo Silva and Allan. With the formation and tactics I use, his job is to win the ball and get it to Allan to carry it forward, or Bernardo is space is there for a counter. He doesn't feel as quick as someone like Kante, but his positioning is top notch. Hardly was he out of position.

Set to man mark, he is able to shut down the loan striker or CAM in most peoples 4231. He was always sticking himself in for a quick tackle and with the high agility, balance, and ball control, he is able to quickly win the ball start a counter attack. His passing stats don't necessarily look incredible, but I was pleasantly surprised with his ability to play a through ball to into space for my other mids and his ability to switch the field of play.

On the offensive end, its no secret. His shooting is woeful from outside the area. You do not want him to be on the end of any balls played across the face of the goal either. He missed a pass across sitter for me. I mainly use him as a player to recycle the ball around. However, his agility and balance allow you to use the close dribbling around the box to maneuver through the defense if needed.

TL:DR

For ~60k he is a nobrainer if you have a french/ligue 1 side. He's a super solid CDM that can pass and start the counter. You don't want him running into the box on attack.

THE CHEAP KANTE!

I used this guy in partner with Allan at cdm for my WL this guy is great he wins most 50/50s wins almost every tackle he's not great at getting forward (wouldn't recommend it) but he wins the ball back in the final third makes a quick pass and I score he was a really good pick up for 90k (there about) he doesn't seem very meta but he's just an all-round great card especially wi...

Worth the money

I was already playing him at beginning of this wonderful game, noticing he just good enough to withstand the meta cards that were commonly played. So when i spotted this card on Futbin yesterday, i was surprised to see his price dropping quite low. I swapped him for MoTM Kanté worth 250k at this point and i must say i am very satisfied by his performance. For half the price than Kanté, it's legit to say that this was a ve...

Damn he nasty.....

He is super good for his price, hes about 3x less expensive then he should be, i have heard that he is good b4 this however i had never used him until now. And now i know it is true - he is an amazing box to box cdm/cm, and can do pretty much everything you want him to do except do skills. He can defend like a champ, especially on the close standing tackles and them interceptions. He is a fuc...
