Player Review

96 - TOTY

4.0

An acquired taste

By Guccichild, 30-01-2022

Packed from a Premium premier league SBC.

I get this review upfront is not as positive as others, but from using his card across multiple positions now- I’ve finally got the measure of how to use this guy properly. His base gold card has always been a great defensive screen in front of a back four, a buzzing fly tapping the ball from under feet then feeding to the creative players. You HAVE to use him as a central CDM- as part of a double CDM pair he’s fought out of position too often. He’s challenging to use in an attacking role. The main upgrade on his gold is he feels so much smoother transitioning the ball into possession- slide tacking a runner, scooping possession then driving/dribbling into opposition third- laying off to creative players then tracking back. In a free flowing passing game, he is a great Iniesta style conductor- giving & going at speed, pulling opposition out of play. If your using a hit and fast counter strat- he often gets left out of the play

Everything with this card comes down to body type- his stats are incredible, but he doesn’t feel as imposing as the 6ft+ CDMs with extending limbs. In particular, his scoop turns are so slow when he has near Messi dribbling- and when pressed, the majority of his passes seem to bounce of opposition rather than quick sidesteps. I’ve even had it multiple times where he’s receiving a diagonal ball making a forward run it bounces off his back. The only comparison I can make is prime Maradona but without the skill moves. I’ve found Jorginho a far, far better all round TOTY card.

Passing & positioning

strong shot

great all round central playmaker- absolute team heartbeat, dictating Rhythm.

low centre of gravity- serious easy mode to time sliding tackles.

Body type- his small stature limits the passing angles when pressed

he doesn’t feel as rapid as his stats suggest.

dribbling can be awkward for a top tier card- sometimes trips over own feet.

N'GOLO KANTE!!!!

So i decided to complete this N'Golo Kante card Because i Had the fodder and i wanted to try him out cause I've Heard Mixed Reviews From him. I Am Division 3 In Rivals and Oh my He is INSANE!! For Me He Feels Like the Gold Kante With the Right Chemistry Style. For Me i'm currently using an anchor and he's a beast. He plays CDM in a 41212(2) and bosses the midfield. He's More agile and you really can feel the pace boost this...

N'GOLO N'GOLO

Another review coming since there aren't many for this legend. As a Chelsea fan, N'golo Kante is one of my favorite players. Thankfully I packed him shortly after the game came out this year. I decided I would try him before selling him, and he just hasn't left my club since.Kante plays very much as he does in real life. He is quick, good on the ball, is all over the field but always in t...

NGOLO NGOLO KANTE

This Ngolo Kante can only be described with one word. That word, you may be asking, is buttery. I play him in the right CDM role, alongside fellow legend Rulebreakers Nkunku. What I need people to understand is that this card doesn't lose 50/50s. He will still the ball, make a quick pass, and get back into position. Don't spin move, don't rainbow, don't even 360 with this puppy. The CPU will cut passing lanes. Your job is t...
