Sanson 82 RTTF review:

I was really in need for a good french CM to pair with 83 rulebreakers Andre, so when i saw this card i was very happy and hoping he was good.

I bought him straight away for 38k, which i really think is great value, i don't even care that he probably won't get upgrades.

Now that i have used him, i can say with confidence: he's a f*cking beast.

The nice dribbling, the amazing passing, the defending, he just has everything.

I have his 82 RTTF in my First Owner Ligue 1 squad so I could complete the Mollet Objective because i felt it has potential to be good if he can improve to an 86-87 or higher. I tested him for 3 games at CDM and he was solid in those games.

Pace: It's ok with a Hawk or Anchor and really needed if you want him to keep up with other players, if you want him as a CDM to just cover some ground and not test his speed vs the opponent or a CAM that can create chances, then it won't be a problem for you. You're not gonna like him if you want speed.

Shooting: With Hawk his shooting is good but not great, he can score but not as much as you expect. Without a boost it's really poor.

Passing: That's where he shines. No matter where he played his passing was always on point. Great at CDM to start a counter attack and solid at CAM to feed the wingers/striker. The only problem in this area is his curve skill, if you're a finesse shooting guy you'll notice that, which adds up to his shooting review.

Dribbling: You really notice he's not the most agile player in the world without the Engine boost, if you have a defender closing in he'll often lose the ball as he won't react fast enough to keep possession, with an Engine it gets better but then you'll miss on shooting or defensive boosts, which will hurt him a lot.

Defense: Not a bad CDM with an Anchor boost, he can cover some ground and get the job done but in the end there are loads of cheaper options in the market who can deliver the same quality or even better.

Physical: Anchor/Hawk make him good but Stamina is a problem, big problem. If you're looking for a CAM that helps the defense a little or a CDM that goes up, he'll be useless after 60-65 minutes. If you play him on Stay Back or Stay Forward then it's ok.

Compared to other CDMS in the Ligue 1 he is one of the best around with only IF Renato Sanches and Rulebreaker Benjamin Andre being better.

Final Grade: 6.5/10 - He has potential to be solid if he can get a boost, especially if he can get more agile, it's a cheap investment with room to pay off but who won't top any other similar player available now.

This Sanson is a great addition to any squad; he has a good nation, decent league so he is very easy to link up. His base stats are all round pretty good with his 4* 4*, so his price is a steal

Pace.

With 76 pace, he's not the fastest; however I play him with a shadow and it bumps up to 86 pace. Overall, his pace is pretty good.

Shooting.

Sanson has pretty good shooting for a CM. He's obviously not your go to striker, but if he gets in the correct positions he can bag you some goals.

Passing.

Probably my favourite part of this card; his passing is very good, and very consistent.

Dribbling.

His dribbling isn't amazing, but it does the job for what he does.

Defending.

With a shadow, his defending is remarkeable, he makes almost every tackle, and can stop most players in their tracks.

Physical.

With 88 stamina, Sanson can last the entire game without needing to be subbed off, and stays consistent throughout.

although he's not a game changer, he stays consitent throughout and can help the individuals around him.
