at first when i packed him in the free packs i got today i think because it was of ramsdalle not being in packs
anyway i was sceptical about him so i used him a as a supersub for 1 game and i was surprised of how good he was so i changed my entire team for this beast
and let me say this guy was amazing and milan has 4 games in hand
won against lazio and atalanta and venezia will be easy and bologna game hopefully if it gets postponed before milan clash
so him as an 89 rated card will be broken
pace- very good pace fast on the ball and responsive
physicality- 99 stamina is all i have to say
defending- no one gets past this guy unless its a big tall player with alot of strenght
dribbling- just perfect
shooting- i mean for his position his shooting is very good abd surprisingly his stats cant describe his ingame shooting on the edge of the box
3*wf- doesnt make much of a difference tbf
3*sm- can still pull off the basic needed crucial skill moves flawlessly so its not that big of a problem
Dropped a review of this guys 87 card and every time I've tried a different version of him I never think he can get better. Holy sh*t. Generally even better to what his SIF is like and that in my opinion was one of the best midfielders I used in the game so far.
Because it's a headliner, its more than likely going to be upgraded. Currently is one of the best players in the Serie A in a dominating Inter side and plays a huge role for them. I think they will get the wins under their belt but even if they don't I cant put it past him bagging a couple of IF cards.
Used him for 33 games now across Elite Division and in Champs. Yesterday I stopped on 14 wins 1 loss and he was one of the most visibly impactful player I had.
Had him in rdm in 4231 with Cut Passing Lanes, Get Forward, Cover Centre. I did try Cover Wing as well and he works very well with it, either way its preference. I use him with Hawk so I can get some pace, shooting and boost a little physical too. I tried him defensive with Shadow and would recommend it, but because of the work rates, stamina etc, I think he's wasted at sitting back defending.
Pace- Solid. Good acceleration and recovers well, but when he's attacking for me, he's quicker than most cdm's so he get past them quite easily when running onto the ball.
Shooting- I don't get the most chances to shoot with him but when I have he's made them count. Inside the box finishing is very good, and tbf his outside the box shooting is quite is not half bad either. For me he'll always hit the target but as an attacking cdm, his shooting is class.
Passing- Pirlo can eat his heart out. He's quick on the ball and gets the ball off quick. Driven passing, long passing are very good. He's very composed on the ball and does pass a lot of complexed passes off when he's under pressure.
Dribbling- Said the same about his 87, its Messi. Glides with the ball at his feet and makes up for him having 3* skills as well. He's very agile on the ball so turns very well with the ball at his feet while sprinting too.
Defending- To compare him to someone id say it's like WW Guendouzi. His defending is alright when looking at the stats, but he defends like a gladiator. He's aggressive when winning the ball, but also his AI defending and intercepting is very good as well.
Physical and W/R- 99 stamina with High/High. Don't need to comment on this. Hawk gives him that little bit more aggression and strength and he lives up to the stat boosts as well. Doesn't give the ball up easy and doesn't stop battling for it either.
Height isn't really a problem either. He isn't the tallest but does have a good leap on him to win the header.
3* Skills and Weak Foot- I think this is very subjective to players based on how you play. For me, these stars don't bother me as I think his weak foot feels like a 4*, but I also don't like to pull off skills moves in a vulnerable position, as I'd rather just get the ball and run with him.
I packed this absolute demon a while back (nearly 300 games played with him) and he is the one who made me make an account on here and write a review.
Firstly this man does not miss a tackle, my opponent could have prime Eusebio running 1v1 with my keeper and this 5'0" legend will come flying in and save me.
His pace isn't anything amazing but he's certainly not slow, if you want a quicker cm they area available but his technical ability outways it imo
His dribbling is what I believe is the best part of this card, unreal left-stick dribbling, perfect for breaking the opponents press or at the top of the box
I use him as a secondary dm in a 4231 next to FS Chalobah whose on stay back so this man is a box to box, but I don't shoot much with him, that being said when he has been called on he's nothing spectacular but often good enough, no crazy dipping shots but he finishes nicely
His passing is crisp and accurate, if you're a jammy through ball spammer he'd probably work, but I often end games with ~65-70% possession so he finds gaps and finds my striker's feet really well
TL;DR: I have literally pushed players 90+ players to my bench to keep this card in my starting lineup
Pace - good for a box to box
Passing - very crisp and tidy
Dribbling - amazing left stick dribbling
Defending - Kante esc interceptions and tackling
Stamina - 99 stam is perfect for a box to box, never have to sub him
Shooting - nothing amazing, will be a but disappointing sometimes
3* weak foot, mainly applied to shots
Not a big user of crazy skills but only 3* skill moves
I've been running a Serie A squad since day one, and after selling my RTTK Vidal and Tonali in a drunken haze in order to buy Di Natale I really needed a competent CDM for my squad. I have winter wonder Milinkovic-Savic, but he's more of a box to box type player. So, when this card was released I was quite intrigued by it and eventually decided to buy it. I'd been tempted by his TOTW cards but the stats didn't justify the outlay, but this one seemed worth shelling out for, especially with the potential for his rating to increase. After reading reviews and watching reviews on YouTube I thought that I was on to a winner, I was so wrong.
He's decent enough, but no way does he justify the price tag for a number of reasons, which i shall list:
3*3* - If he is put under pressure and has to quickly release the ball, then the 3* weak foot means that it becomes a real lottery as to whether the pass that you play will actually reach a team mate. If you happen to get caught on his wrong foot then the pass just spoons off to an opponent. Likewise, without the access to 4* skill moves it is very hard to get onto his strong foot under pressure.
Height/Strength - Constantly gets bullied, even by players the same size as him. You try to shield the ball, he loses. 50/50 challenges, he loses. Long balls/goal kicks, get's outjumped. Also, because he's so little he very rarely seems to be able to stick his legs out far enough to intercept a pass.
He's not a CDM - By this, I mean that with his 3*3*, lack of size and strength etc he shouldn't be playing CDM, but logically with his stats that's the only place that you can put him. He's not good enough attacking-wise to play CAM and his passing isn't good enough to play CM (despite actually looking excellent on paper). Defensively (especially with either shadow or anchor, and I've tried both) he should excel at CDM, but because of his lack of strength, height and weight he really doesn't play well there for the previously mentioned reasons.
Work rates - His high/high workrates seem to constantly have him out of position despite any instructions that you choose to give him. I've tried stay back, drop between defenders, balanced..... yet he always seems to be in the wrong place. The worst thing is that he'll try to support further forward and then mess up a pass or get dispossessed due to his awful in game passing and weak foot, then he'll run back to defend and be too small and weak to either intercept or win the ball back.
I don't want to sound like I'm totally hating on him, but I've felt that if I had someone else in my team then my games wouldn't be so stressful. I feel like he's a bit of a passenger, and if he was sent off I wouldn't miss him at all because I'm constantly having to bring Milinkovic-Savic back to bail him out (and he actually has been sent off for me; I didn't notice for most of the game because I skipped the red card cut scene). I hear the argument that he's the 'Italian Kante', but that's not accurate at all. Kante knows what he is, an out and out CDM. The problem with Barella is that with all his stats, physical attributes and skill moves and weak foot and work rates he doesn't know what he is. I won't lie, there's been a couple of matches where he's done ok and I start to think that I must be weird for not rating him, but then the next game he's making my life more difficult.
The saving grace for me is that he's very likely to get upgrades and that I've already made a profit on him. I bought him for 280k and as of the time of writing he's selling for 340k. I'm planning to keep hold of him until he gets his 4 in a row and then selling him, but before that I think I'll be buying Tonali or Vidal again to be my CDM. Maybe he'll get his upgrade and go to 90 overall and prove me wrong, but unfortunately his days as a member of my club are numbered.
I really really really wanted to like this card, but I can only be honest and say that he has been a big disappointment. If he was below 100k then I probably wouldn't be so harsh in my evaluation of him, but for what he is selling for I expect a lot more than what he is offering. Thank god I'm guaranteed a profit. If he was 50k for example I'd say that he's an ok midfielder, but for over 300k I expect a lot more than ok.
I honestly wish that I could think of some, but in comparison to my other midfielders like Milinkovic-Savic I'm struggling to think of some. If he was cheaper then I'd say that his left stick dribbling feels quite nice (when under no pressure at all)
Too small
Too weak
H/H means that he doesn't stay in the right position and messes up in both defence and attack
Massively overpriced (but suits me because I should make a nice profit once he hits 90 ovr)
