i got this guy out of the mid icon pack and I must say although at first it was only a small W he is a BEAST! Played him at cm/cdm in elite rivals and fut champs and it is safe to say he does not play to his defensive stats.
Defending is Good
Good Shooting
Can go forward
Great Physicality
Not the fastest even though with a shadow he has 92 pace
I get him in the icon pick few weeks ago .At start I thought he was a W as most people have good evaluation on him. But everything is different after I try him. Is it important for a CDM to have a good and steady defending. But he don't do any job on defending. I believe he is better on AM. Although he has poor shooting. I do not recommend people wants a CDM to get him. I would suggest Xavi Hernandez for you
