Player Review
93 - TOTY
This guy is an absolute speed demon. I played him as a RM in-game in a 3-5-2 with a Sentinel (as he had 6 chemistry at LB) and he is the best player for this position.
His pace is perfect - both acceleration and sprint speed - and can catch up to any attacker and sprint through behind any defender. Despite the medium defensive work rate, the amount of times he has tracked back to help defend attacks down the opponents left wing have helped stop a number of counter attacks.
His passing is perfect, crossing is insane with this card and I often switch the play from RM to LM which he does with perfect precision. He also has no difficulties sending my strikers through the middle with a weighted lofted through ball.
He has incredible finishing inside the box, combined with his explosive pace and good attacking positioning means he is a real goal threat for me running in from the right wing although I would recommend shooting with power rather than finesse shots as his shot power seems a lot higher than the stat says.
Despite the 3* skill moves, his dribbling is silky and using agile dribbling lets him glide past defenders; his strength on the ball makes it tough for the opponents defenders to win back possession.
His defending is amazing he intercepts lots of attempted passes to opponents' left wingers and he can sprint back to defend and get in a last minute tackle to prevent goals. Combined with his surprising strength, he is more than usable as a CB which I have done after making some substitutions.
His physicality makes him a beast, with stamina to last the whole match and extra time if needed and he rarely loses a 50-50 header, even scoring a few for me from corners as well!
Overall, one of the most well-rounded cards in the game with incredible stats and feels even better in game. If you can afford him, he is the perfect wide midfield player and full back, as well as a beast at CB or central midfield. Although I love using skill moves, this card is powerful enough with 3* skill moves, and some basic roulettes and ball rolls with his incredible dribbling stats are more than enough to send opponents defenders to the shops.
