Player Review
87 - Rulebreakers
I'm only doing this review because its so late in the game and I'm honestly surprised this card is still so efficient.
I created a Serie A team about a week ago, and I needed a (stay back) DM to pair with Milinko... or vice versa. I tried every combination possible but there was always something missing. Kessie was literally my last resort, I was put off by his 81/82 dribbling & agility, but I'd never been so wrong about a player! He seemed unnaturally comfortable on the ball, but what eventually sold me was his passing... it felt like I was using 90 Modric, absolutely every important pass seemed to click. I'm not sure if its because of his high/high wr but he also seemed to be everywhere, hounding players and disrupting counter attacks.
If you're looking for a Serie A midfield destroyer then he's definitely the man for the job.
For reference: div 1 (hopefully on my way back to elite), 3-5-2/3-1-4-2, so I think he should be useable across divisions.
Obviously his defending is top notch
His passing feels like wildcard Modric
He's as comfortable on the ball as champs Frenkie de Jong
He's all over the pitch like champs 87 Vidal
and he's got enough stamina to outrun a zombie horde!
For a stay back CDM, nothing
Was skeptical about his dribbling but his strength gets him out of tight situations.
