83 - Halloween
If you read the title and you ask yourself, is this guy stupid? You may be correct, but let me explain the magic of calhanoglu at LB. I play with attacking full backs who help me out in the midfield to connect the passes, which is the reason they don't score or assist often. At first, I also doubted the abiliteis of Calhonoglu, but how more wrong could I be. His pace upgrade makes him an optimal opponnent against quick wingers and his jumping isn't actually that bad, clearing the ball in corners more than you would expect. The only real downside I've noticed so far, is that due to his attacking stats, he can sometimes lack the defensive skill opposed to Cuadrado, who plays at RB. In most cases, this won't be really noticible as the tackling this year is pretty easy and his positioning is really good, combined with the medium/medium work rates. I'm not saying you should use him at LB primarily, but you should try him in the midfield, with the nice addition of the 4 star skill moves and 4 star weak foot make him a dangerous midfielder.
