I used this guy in partner with Allan at cdm for my WL this guy is great he wins most 50/50s wins almost every tackle he's not great at getting forward (wouldn't recommend it) but he wins the ball back in the final third makes a quick pass and I score he was a really good pick up for 90k (there about) he doesn't seem very meta but he's just an all-round great card especially with the dribbling upgrades make him a fun cdm to use. Stay safe all :D

I packed this guy on Friday before starting my WL so i figured I'd use him for a weekend as he fits nicely with my untradeable Mbappe and Ben Yedder (yes, flex). He played as a lone CDM in 433(2) between Bernardo Silva and Allan. With the formation and tactics I use, his job is to win the ball and get it to Allan to carry it forward, or Bernardo is space is there for a counter. He doesn't feel as quick as someone like Kante, but his positioning is top notch. Hardly was he out of position.

Set to man mark, he is able to shut down the loan striker or CAM in most peoples 4231. He was always sticking himself in for a quick tackle and with the high agility, balance, and ball control, he is able to quickly win the ball start a counter attack. His passing stats don't necessarily look incredible, but I was pleasantly surprised with his ability to play a through ball to into space for my other mids and his ability to switch the field of play.

On the offensive end, its no secret. His shooting is woeful from outside the area. You do not want him to be on the end of any balls played across the face of the goal either. He missed a pass across sitter for me. I mainly use him as a player to recycle the ball around. However, his agility and balance allow you to use the close dribbling around the box to maneuver through the defense if needed.

TL:DR

For ~60k he is a nobrainer if you have a french/ligue 1 side. He's a super solid CDM that can pass and start the counter. You don't want him running into the box on attack.

Played him at cdm with shadow and ... WOW, for around 75k a beast!!! But use a fast second cdm, two cdm with strength doesnt work as good as one fast and one strength!

BTW for the squad, that’s my latest team, I had a different one which he was partnered with Sissoko in, he was great in that too. A fantastic card. Catalyst was used.

Pace:8/10, surprisingly quick, and enough to get away from players to be able to have time to make his decision.

Shooting 4/10: No

Passing:8/10, Fabulous range of passing, short and long.

Dribbling: 10/10, extremely agile and has fantastic ball control, gets out of tight situations extremely well.

Defending:8/10, tackles and intercepts brilliantly.

Physical:9/10, strong, never runs out of energy, very aggressive.

also the squad is in game

I use him as cm(shadow) in the following squad (see link)

I bought him as a "filler" until I got more cash.

Im am very surprised how good he feels and how good he intercepts.

His tackles are on point and he even steals if kante the show.

I used base Blanc before and defense wise he feels equal!

His pace is good enough to create some room and have enough time to think about next options.

He is unbeatable for the price and could be a lot more expensive. 250-300k would be more realistic.

He will improve your defense a lot!!

I play 4 1 2 1 2 with focus on ball possession and didnt find a weak spot on him yet.

He stays behind when attacking.
