90 - Headliners SBC
Played this guy in a 4-2-2-2 with Kante as a CDM he worked really well and made some really nice assists with a shadow you can barely notice his pace and agility. If you are to use him use him as a secondary CDM as he can push up the field with his good dribbling and passing and net a goal or an assist.
shooting passing dribbling
pace
For anyone wondering if this card is worth it the short answer is YES!
Now for the long answer:
This dude is built like a god damn brick. He wins everything just by pushing players out of the way. He disarms everyone in his path and advances like an unstopable force. On top of that, he has INSANE passing and, even lacking agility he does not feel clunky, probably because of his ball control and dribbling stats. I pair him with OTW Vidal and it feels like a wall in front of the defence. You are probably afraid of his speed: dont. Slap a shadow in him and he sprints at 86, excelent to keep him in position at almost all times. He is a menace in counter attacks also, I lost count how many times he set me up with precise long balls from the back. This is by far the most complete midfielder I ever played with, great defending, even better attacking. And in top of all that he scores almost every corner.
Outmuscles everything
Never loses 50/50
Score corners for fun
OUTSTANDING passing
More than good finishing
Hard to disarm when on the ball
Good enough speed when with SHADOW chemistry
Reliable when tackling
When under pressure, his agility can be troublesome at times. Usually negated by ball control and strength and in last case by quality passes.
His acceleration can hinder him when marking ultra pacey players alone.
In fast paced games he starts to lose stamina the 80h minute mark, usually finishes fine a full 90min. Always keep Naingollan on bench for ET.
I tried him the last 15 Games in the Weekend League and reached Gold 2 (17-12). He played very well in 4-2-2-2 alongside Essien baby. He won many headers, tackles and he got manyyy creative runs forward. His shoot was pretty nice too.
All in all i enjoyed playing him :)
He also can get many upgrades, at least one inform or the 3 games winning streak and then he'll be even more a monster.
- Shoot: His shoot was very nice in front of the goal. He scored the most of his shots in the box. Also he had good longshots (8/10)
- Passing: He had decebt passing, with his left and his right foot. (9/10)
- Def: He won so much tackles for me. Also his headers were decent. He did one header goal.
- Phy: He got a very nice jumping. Also decent stamina. He won many tackles with his strength too.
- Pace: He needs at least one Upgrade for being a super beast. But he's already nice to play if you like this player style.
- He looks thin ingame lol. I expected him to be more massive.
- Dribbling: He is a bit clunky, but you play an agile cdm next to him like bruno of for example me, i played essien, then this isn't a hard problem.
This is my first review, and I want to start with this guy. I made his SBC when it popped out. He plays as CM in a 3-4-1-2 team, aside Gullit 93. He obviously doesn't shine as his teammate, but he is still a beast. Splendid passes, dynamite shots, and great strength. The pace isn't great, but it can be fixed with a Hunter/Shadow/Catalyst chemistry style. Nevertheless, I use Artist or Finisher on him, due to the big bonuses to Agility and Balance. He has very good dribbling, but due to his dimension, he is a little clumsy. If you fix the agility & balance issue, he became an agile tank. Yes, you lose something on pace, but in that zone of the field, for my gameplay style, is not a big deal. He has a great defense, that mixed with his strength makes him a great interdictor. The opponent's CAM has just passed your midfield? No worries, he will be there to stop him. Your forward is blocked by two opponent's defenders? No problem, Milinkovic will be two steps behind ready to receive the passage, and shot a cannonball in the back of the net. He needs someone faster aside him, and I have the luck to make him play with Gullit, but with the right teammate, he will shine as an incredible mix of Pogba and Pjanic.
PS: the goal per game stats is a little bit misleading because he played as CDM for the first 150 games.
Powerful shot
Great strength
Great passes
Height
Dribbling (if corrected with the right chemistry style)
Pace (you can correct it with the right chemistry style, but you'll lose something on dribbling)
120 games 30 goals 30 assists, incredibly well rounded, smooth dribbling, a huge threat from corners and solid defensively, the 88>89 has been a marked improvement and if this guy gets another upgrade it's game over for the opposition.
Strength
Shooting
Tackling
Aerial threat
Could be slightly quicker
