A better Kanté

By Theft90, 29-12-2021

I was fortunate enough to get this card out of a Base to Mid Icon pack. I use him as a left CDM in a 4-2-3-1 and as a CDM in a 4-1-2-1-2 (2) with an Engine chemistry style. Let me start off with his pace. He is absolutely rapid for a CDM and it really does show - he is incredibly quick to get back when the opponent is on a counter and is always in the right place to either intercept the ball or make a tackle. That brings me to his defending, which is top tier, even without a Shadow or Anchor. The dude feels like Kanté on steroids, thats how good he is! What makes him a better player than Kanté in this game is, in my opinion, his passing, which is very important this year. He can comfortably ping 40 yard over the top through balls. his passing is very very good. His shooting, althought I do not shoot often with him, is still very good - he has a rocket of a long shot on him. His physicality is okay - the strenght isnt insane, but is definitely good enough. I do enjoy his high stamina and aggression a lot though. The only downside to this card is his dribbling. Occasionaly he takes a heavy touch that can result in a counter attack. He doesnt necessarily turn like a truck, but it definitely does feel a bit heavier than it should. I will also mention that I only played with him in Elite Division & in the Weekend League.

Pace - incredibly fast to get back and just move around looking for interceptions
Defending - insane interceptions and tackles
Passing - top class passing, can consistently and accurately ping all sorts of passes
Shooting - has a very good long shot on him
Aggression - he will really work for your team, actively looking to tackle or intercept
Stamina - will last the whole match comfortably
Linkability - an icon, speaks for itself

Dribbling - occasional heavy touches, does not turn the best (although by no means awful at turning)
Aerial abilty - due to his height & average heading ability he will not win many headers
Value - he is very expensive

Matthaus end game

I packed this man from my first icon pack ever before a mont. I have played wih him around 100 games as cdm in 4-1-2-1-2 now i changed my team to 4-2-2-2 but i don't think this can affect him. I have to say one thing about him. HE IS THE BEST CDM IN THE GAME not even comparable to Kante and i have tried Kante this man's passing as cdm is one of the best in the game if not the best. His positioning is amazing, has great long...

Not bad

Hi, context Division : elite WL : 11 wins with 2-3 to spareI've played 183 games with Matthaus. I don't think he is fantastic and that's mainly due to 2 things. 1) Feels slow on the ball2) Animations are slowHis stats say he is fast and defensively id kinda agree. I don't feel people are simply running past Matthaus and his defensive awareness...
