Player Review

That's right, everyone's favorite French guy with a name full of nouns is back again with another fantastic card. Coming in at the CM position, this is a versatile card and one that can be played pretty much anywhere through the middle of the pitch. He's comfortable playing as a box to box, as well as a ball playing/carrying CDM.

He has the pace to beat players and track back on defense. His passing is good, with his driven balls almost always being accurate. His dribbling is easily the best thing about the card, however. His dribbling stats combined with his unique body type make for a very shifty card and he's a joy to carry the ball through the midfield with. Last but most certainly not least, his shooting is once again fantastic. You can play this card at striker(yes, really) and CAM with no problems. His finesse shots are ridiculous and he has all of the good shooting traits. What else do you need?

The areas he struggles in are the ones made obvious by looking at his face card stats. He's short so winning headers is pretty much out of the question. He struggles in physical duels but is once again helped out by his unique body type. Stamina is an issue, but I personally brought him off around the 65 minute mark every game. He could've easily lasted the rest of the game but extra time could get dicey. I'd have a sub ready.

This guy is great value, can fit many teams, and looks to be in my team for quite a while. Merry Christmas indeed.
