So to begin with last year in FIFA 21 i used his UEL road to the fina cardl and i wasn't disappointed at all, he was the best midfielder in the game until team of the season.. This year i saw him really cheap, and he got a +7 upgrade compared to his FIFA 21 gold card, so i decided to try him out, and he instantly impressed me.

First i want to say: For 20k this is a steal for a card like this...His defending impressed me right away, he was intercepting left right and center. He is such a character on the pitch with his signature i think he gives your team a uniqueness that a lot of other teams don't have and being very noticeable on the pitch makes him an easy passing option. He can thread through passes, he intercepts the ball and is always in the right position defensively. His interceptions are amazing and his heading ability is outstanding.

His passing is very good and very reliable ( definitely better than 74) He can build up your play with very good passing abilities. i like about him is the 4* weak foot, he can pass with his left or right.

What i have noticed differently with this card is how he contributes to the build up play, He helps push the ball forward with great runs and distribution of the ball in the middle of the pitch with good runs but he does not push up to far when in the final third so he can drop back to defense when its needed.

I think his stand out feature is his physicality, he's never been pushed off the ball and is tall enough to win headers and be a target for goal kicks. This guy is massive. if he goes shoulder to shoulder with almost anyone you can call the call yours.

His shooting surprised me, he scored an amazing knuckle-ball like longshot in his second game which i honestly didn't expect him to score, so if you can find some open space with him don't be afraid to rip it from 15+ yards. I think it is very nice to surprise your opponents with attacking cdms and they don't expect a shot which makes it a whole load easier. .

His stamina and work rates are the best in the game, as he covers the whole pitch for the whole 90 mins and runs the game towards the end.

He's a rock that can go all game long and isn't tired at all...coming to his pace: it is okay! he could be a little faster, he sometimes feels a bit slow but I am fine with that because this year you can catch anyone with normally pacy players.

Lastly his dribbling is okay but you shouldn't go 1v5 with him.

Strength

Height

Defending

Interceptions- always in the right place

Passing- short passes are great

Shot power and Long shots

Work rates and stamina

Pace with shadow

Stamina- he can go all game jumping

His price is really cheap and good value- i've used goretzka and llorente but imo they are not worth their price as a cdm only kante is better than kessie and kante is 500k while kessie is only 20k

4* star weak foot

i can't think of any cons but if i had to put one down it would have to be :

Kessie Rulebreaker Review

After playing Kessie Gold in the beginning of FIFA 22, I got his Rulebreaker Card in an Untradeable Pack. His Gold Card was really good for me, so I decided to use his Rulebreaker Card and build a new team around him. I played him in 4222 mostly, sometimes also in 4231, when the games got a bit sweaty. Mostly used in Div 2 (after reset, I was in Elite Division around 1850 Skill rating).He made also his ...

the missing link!

I'm only doing this review because its so late in the game and I'm honestly surprised this card is still so efficient.I created a Serie A team about a week ago, and I needed a (stay back) DM to pair with Milinko... or vice versa. I tried every combination possible but there was always something missing. Kessie was literally my last resort, I was put off by his 81/82 dribbling & agility, but I'd never b...

Franck The Tank

So I didn't actually plan to do him but I got a bit lucky with red picks and got Koulibaly , so I decided to do him and I wasn't surprised when I tried him out, was everything I expected him to be, strong, incredible passer, and amazing auto defending. His 4 weak foot is amazing in the midfield especially with his passing, shooting is meh but will do the job with most chances good , but he's ...
