89 - Rare
4.5
Beast of a CB! (Casemiro)
By goodfodder78, 05-10-2021

So I packed this Casemiro card from marquee matchups and he fitted my team well so I decided to try him out. I was a little concerned with his stockiness and also a little concerned with his pace in the centre of midfield but his 90 physicals and 86 defending made him look very appealing as a CB in game. I used an engine chem style on him to boost his pace up to 70 and to touch on his agility and balance and also a little on his dribbling and ball movement from the heart of my defense. My initial plan was to try him out, and then assuming he wasn't going to be anything special, holding on to him so that I could either use him as fodder or onsell him for a nice bit of profit when the price of fodder finally spikes. However, I've played about 40 games with him at CB in Div 5/4 and he has been a very pleasant surprise. With his stocky body type and 90 strength he absolutely demolishes those shorter and faster players and with 88 tackling his timing is impeccable and he's really dug me out of a deep hole several times. Despite only having 65 acceleration and 74 sprint speed (with an engine) he still is just fast enough to keep up with wingers and prevent them from cutting inside when he is defending from just behind the halfway line. His passing is naturally very good for a CB and his dribbling is also good and he on occasion has taken the ball a fair way up the field and even gone all the way to score as he has 81 long shots and 88 shot power respectively. Off corners he and Karim Benzema are always threats and he is overall an absolute beast with 89 stamina as well and I expect for him to be in my lineup for a long time to come.

  • Very good physicals
  • Strong defender
  • Quite affordable if you were interested in trying him out
  • Good passing and dribbling for a CB
  • Stamina
  • Not the fastest player
  • Stocky body types might not be for you so could be a little clunky
  • Agility and balance might not suit your needs

Dont know how but he doesnt loose

I cant really tell what he did. He had 0 Goals and 0 Assists. But i bought him when i was 5:4 in WL. He played 8 games and i ended 12 and 6. The only loss was in penalties. If you cant see your DM but you win all your games that is a credit to him right?So if winning is what you desire you can play him. He will help with that.

Superb stay-back CDM!!!

Hey guys!! So, i was lloking to improve defensive performances in the midfield, with de jong and valverde feeling a bit weak together.Decided to switch it up to Llorente and our guy, Mr Casemiro. All in all, if you defend positionall...

Casemito

While not being the fastest, it was the only player that give me the possibility to play with the CDM between defenders while attacking. I've tried Kondogbia, Merino, Delaney. The lack of speed is hided by is positioning so if you need a player just to destroy the plays from the other team, give it a try.
