Player Review
87 - Flashback SBC
I use Backbone chem on him, tried Anchor but without passing boost he becomes a liability.
Is he good ? Kinda, at the end he is still Kante but you can feel the downgrade, and now with more people getting better teams he is getting outscaled really fast.
Was he worth it ? No. His workrates and passing is a huge problem, he will get up the pitch whether you like it or not, so if his passing isn't boosted by any chemstyle then you have to make the most simplest and safest of passes with him or he will give away possession 7/10 times. On other hand his defending and pace/agility is still very Kante-like but because of his workrates his positioning suffers against counter attacks and also forces him to take part in attacking-third more than I like.
And with how defending has been this year, you can place your 99 interceptions player in most perfect position to cut a passing lane, or tackle as well as possible but EAids will still find a way, So he doesn't feel any more outstanding compared to most other good DMs. Overall he is a decent DM but for me he wasn't worth the 100k coins and other high rated fodder I used for him. I could've done FB Verratti and POTM Fofana for that much.
What makes it even worse is the fact that EA released RB Verratti 2 days after I completed FB Kante, who was not only 1/3rd the price but also a better player with op links, more Kante-like than FB Kante. So thanks for that EA.
