Best value for money cdm in the game guaranteed

If you are looking for a card to dominate the midfield defensively keep reading, if you are looking for a box to box midfielder stop right here and go buy gold llorente if you are looking for value.

well, this is my first review, always thought that this day will come when one of my attackers will keep scoring unbelieveable goals but no, what this man brings to the team is just beyond any expectation, the defensive awareness, the stability in the defense both in the midfield and in the box, I used him for over 100 games and it still shocks me every time, he will be always there when you make a mistake and when your cb is out of position he will cover, his aggression and tackles are so insane, I can keep praising him with words but nothing I will say will do him justice, pick him up for this joke of a price and put a shadow on him with stay back while attacking instructions, I assure you, you will love this guy, I never would have thought he will stay in my team for so long but now I just can not let him go.

For context, I have used kante, vieira, pep prime, llorente, guendouzi and more I don't remember, I am not going to say they are worse because every card is bad at one thing while being better in the other, but if you are looking for pure defensive midfielder the only guy that is on the same level is the legend patrick vieira, and it is just shocking how delaney is THAT CHEAP.

I have ones to watch messi with very high contribution, but what delaney does for me is way way more game changing, I would be conceeding so so much more without him.

Bottom line, if you need something to help you defend you have to atleast try him, do not let the price or the rating fool you.

Positioning - insane defensive awareness, keep him either on stay back or drop between defenders and he will always be there where you need him(stay back is more consistant, you can still try drop between defenders, but he will be less agressive and make less interceptions outside the box)
Strength - Very strong, will drop weak attackers without giving a foul, L2 with him is very solid, hard to take the ball from him when you press it.
Agression - Argueably even more important then the actual tackling, his agression combined with his very good defensive awareness is so lethal, he will be agressive in all the moments where you are falling asleep or cant select him because the game does not let you.
Tackling - the reach is unreal, always gets the ball when I press circle.
Shooting - yes, I have only 2 goals with him, but that is only because he never goes out of position, if I get the chance to shoot outside the box with him, he always makes the gk sweat and gets me a corner, the 2 goals I scored with him are headers which is my next point.
Heading - good, above averge, he is not cr7 or ibra, but if positioned correctly he will score them, the only reason I do not score with him enough is because I pass corners and I do not abuse the corner glitch.
Passing - Great passing, more then the stats suggest, he never and I will repeat never ruined a transition because of a bad pass.
Pace - Rapid, he is not kante, but if you compare him to vieira or fofana, it feels very simillar.

Skills - none existent, delaney never makes runs, he will never f u over and go out of position unless instructed to hence why skills are never necessary
Dribbling - its in cons only because its average, I wouldnt say its bad or good but ts better dribbling then the average cb has.

Thomas Delaney(the danish beast)

I have loved Delaney ever since fifa 19 and his inform cause i am a Dortmund fan and i liked him very much IRL. Now that he has gone to sevilla he fits perfect in my team with links to Record Breaker Inaki Williams, Llorente and RTTK Jesus Navas. I play him as a CDM in a 4-1-2-1-2(2) and he is very stable in the defense but also in long shots. Now when he is getting upgraded if Sevilla wins thwir next match he will probably...

What a guy, i might have a colored perspective, cause he is like one of my favorite players IRL. Even know he use to play for FCK, but what a guy, and he has "Lækkert hår" which is important. But this guys is a Beast in the CDM position, he interceps everything, his passing is really good, and for a guy who defense like this, his dribling is actaully very good. He even banged in some solid ...

Unbelievably good

So I'm a Rank 4-5 Champs, Elite division player who is okay at the game, not amazing. I don't skill or spam mechanics just try to play semi realistic, fun passing football.I have a La Liga heavy squad and finally decided to try this guy after reading some reviews on here - I have a second account with Sow and as I often play with 1 DM on drop between defenders, a tall, rangy player who can do a job as a CB...
