Player Review
86 - Rulebreakers
Picked this guy up to play the LF in my French hybrid squad and he did not disappoint at all. For 53K on ps4, you can't find a much better attacking player. I use a marksman on him in a 4321 mostly, although I have used him anywhere on the left side when switching up formations in game.
He is pretty much a left footed Mbappe. Super quick of course, but pair that with 97 attack positioning and he is absolutely lethal. I run him up front with the Flashback Benzema and sometimes I feel bad for my opponents when they have to make a decision between them on the counter attack. His dribbling with a marksman is on point and it feels much higher than his stats lead on.
He has 92(+7) finishing with the chem style and 91(+5) shot power and 70(+10) long shots. That combination makes him the best LF in the game for me. At least that I can afford. Benzema is absolutely amazing and if you did the SBC for him, Diaby is the rational choice for the left wing.
Another good thing about Diaby is his strong link with Nkunku, who is also an amazing player to have in the squad.
2* Weak Foot, but his left foot is so good, he doesn't need it. You need to be aware of it in the passing game, but shooting it feels like he has outside foot shot trait and always takes it with his left.
