85 - OTW
Odegaard is an odd one, similar to my OTW Hazard gift last year except this time the 5* skills and my... development in this area (my natural elastico actually being useful, yay!) made this an interesting card. Half a dozen appearances as a super sub in the first WL he did OK. However this weekend as my CAM in a 4-2-3-1 or at LM/ LCAM in a 4-4-2 and 4-2-3-1 made him a must have!
Dribbling and Skills - They go together. His standard dribbling with his upgrade feels pretty damn fantastic. His 5* skills also are a wonder and he feels quite speedy and agile despite his fairly low card speed.
Passing - His passing is amazing. Long, short and crossing this guy has it all. Assisted multiple winners IF he wasnt already subbed out. Great for corner assists too.
Shooting - His left foot is a want, amazing. His right is... not as bad as his 2* suggest, as long as you use the broken angles.
Defending - as a LM or CAM he has decent defending stats so can help out. My wingbacks are fairly weak so he helps cover them. Can't ask for much more.
Physical - His physical stats I think are a little underrated. But they perform as the card suggest so not great, his stamina doesn't seem to last particularly well, odd considering his supposed 82.
Work rates - He can be a little lazy at times. Especially if you are fighting for a winner. His quality can let him get away with this at times.. but it is a problem at others.
