Player Review
86 - Winter Wildcards
I wanted to give it a twist to my team and as I already had Uribe, Corona and Hakimi, Taarabt was a good fit and a cheap one, so why not try him.
First I use him as a CM, with Uribe as CDM and Kaka as CAM. As a CM he was good but he didn't really shine. Then I wanted to try something new, so I added Kessie as a CM and move Taarabt to CF in a 4-3-3(5), and let me tell you that he was a really good surprise, oh boy is he fun with hunter as a CF.
He can hold the play against strong defenders, as he doesn't get bodied easily, he has a good passing and skills combo, and with hunter he has a surprisingly good shoot.
For under 15k, this guy is so good if you want to try some players outside the popular french lineup or meta cards, specially if you have Uribe or some players to link him.
I would recommend him more on a CAM or CF role, but he can also be a good alternative for b2b CM or even CDM.
Great value for the price as he offers you good stats for any position in the midfield with 5* skills and 4* wf.
If you are looking for a meta guy, you can find better alternatives for sure, but if you want to try a new lineup for fun and you can link him, this guy is a must try.
