The BEST CM and CDM in the game

By kandinsky1, 22-03-2021

First of all I want to say that I have never done a review and that I will be very objective and not bias on this.

So I packed this guy in the prime icon pack and was really excited although I wasn't sure where I could play him since I used to play a 4312. I tried him in the CDM position in the 4312 but didn't like him so I changed up to a 4411 and played him CM with mid Gerrard on his side and baby kaka behind future star kulusevski.

I was absolutely shocked on how unbelievably good this card is. His work rates are fantastic, he knows exactly when to stay back and when to go forward and help the attack. Despite being 6'4 he feels agile and does not feel clunky at all. He is dominating on the field. His passing ability is fantastic in fact I believe he has only missed 3 passes in 27 games. His body type and his strength make his ability to defend the ball very good, he hardly loses the ball. He has scored 18 goals in 27 games with 8 assists. At least a third of the goals he has scored come from corners. He is terrific in the air and with the power header traits 1 out of 2 corners turn into a goal for me.

This guy is the best player I have ever had and I cannot stress this enough. He is decently fast, strong, great passer, unreal defending skills and terrific in the air. I used to be in div 4 at 1400 skill rating, in 1 week I played 27 games and went from div 4 to div 2.

complete midfielder, he has everything you want from a midfielder.
great passer
strong presence on the field and great heading ability
scores bangers from outside the box
a 6'4 kante defensively

although I want to be very objective, I do not see a downside to this card
he is very expensive and few people can afford him

The best 6'4 CDM in my opinion

By Tzuwy, 25-08-2021

He is really insane. I use him as CDM (cut passing lane, stay back. cover center, balanced interception) and he is absolutely crazy. I really recommend him if you like to use big body type players. His agility is not that good due to his body type but you get a great strength for your CDM. I advise being careful when jockeying him unless you want to get him out of position. His work rate is also a W for CDM. You may use him as a drop between defenders or use him as CB tho, but I still prefer him as CDM. One thing that is important is: He always showed up in the midfield. I like to use big body type players and I have tried mid-Gullit in his position, but I clearly say Vieira is way better. Sometimes I control my other CDM, but his defending AI is pretty broken. I am not lying but after 100+ matches, I can say that his average match rating was 7.5+ (ever got under 6 but it is very-very rare).
