Player Review
94 - Futties
This review is intended for the more casual player. I'm Div 5 and have not played WL this entire year. I'm still learning skill moves and I don't abuse mechanics. I like real football...passing, build up play, etc...
Since this card can be done through squad battles, I'm also assuming that some of you are not Div1/Div2 elite players who can chain together reverse elasticos and other skill moves in your sleep.
I first tried Atal as my CAM, with SS Kimmich as my RAM. I thought Atal's agility would provide the playmaking ability needed to get the ball to TOTY CR7. But, as I played the card, I felt he didn't have the strength I needed at CAM in a 4231, as he was routinely bullied in the middle of the pitch. After 2 games I moved him in game to RAM or RM in a 442, and inserted KDB as my CAM (moving Kimmich to the bench). This suited my playstyle better and gave me both strength and passing in the middle of the pitch.
Atal has done great out wide as a RAM or RM. I have all of the confidence in the world in his defensive presence, and feel comfortable making overlapping runs with Zambrotta, knowing that Atal is there to help with the defensive duties.
Versatile card.
Strength was a bit lacking for my play style
