89 - Icon

5.0

Captain Fantastic

By EixSJW, 05-11-2020

I was looking for an elite level CM to be a B2B force in my 433(2) side (squad attached). Gerrard is obviously a bit of a legend and the 80 pace mid version seemed like a good punt when compared with other decent icon CM options. I use an Engine on him.

I was more than pleasantly surprised.

One of the standouts is his movement, he's scored 11 goals in 6 games from CM, his runs are brilliant, 1-2's with the striker are great. He hasn't missed anything yet, I mean anything. His shots are either blocked or they go in.

Pace is good for a CM, can go past an opponents CDM which is really useful, especially when combined with his great attacking AI.

The passing is unreal, He sets up so many goals for CR7 with through balls, or inside the full back to Fati. 13 assists in 6 games from CM is a great return. He also takes my corners for CR7 to nod in.

His aggression is good too, chases down ball carriers well.

Other CMs I've used who he outperforms: KDB, Renato Sanches IF, Pogba, Eriksen IF, De Jong, Valverde.

All games played in Div 2, around 1800 skill rating.

Passing (excellent through balls and short passes), rarely gets intercepted.

Shooting, hasn't missed yet shots are either AI blocked or they go in.

Pace, good for a CM, of course not lightning but feels as quick as De Jong in game.

Stamina, never tires.

Physicals, good aggression and scored a nice contested header last game vs the CB.

I genuinely don't see a downside to this card. He does it all. However you could argue he is definitely a CM, probably not quick enough to play CAM/CF and maybe too attacking for a lone CDM, although I think could play 2 x CDM formation well.

Steven Gerrard

He'll pass the ball 40 Yards

If anyone didnt get the title, you are probably not a liverpool fan, like me. But this year, This Version (atleast) is not only for us reds, he is really worth the money for how he plays in game. I haven't tried any Midfielders in this game i enjoy more than mr. Army cut here. If you need a stay back CDM, i wouldnt recommend him, but as a CM or a balanced CDM, even honestly as a Cam. H...
