I used him as a lone cdm in 41212(2), using engine chem style. All games in division 2 and division 1 rivals.
Defensively his very solid. Rarely has those annoying bounce back tackles, when he tackles he wins the ball. Very strong tackler. He also feels very strong in game when bodying attackers, very physical. Unofrtunately his pace and his agility are noticablely low in game, he doesn't turn very well and his recovery speed his a bit low, especially when comparing to the likes of kante. His dribbling isn't very smooth, yet for me I don't dribble much with my cdm and it is fine, he has control over the ball yet he can't turn very quickly. His passing is questionable sometimes, yet short range passing is reliable, his long passing is a bit dodgy although his stats look good in that area. his shooting is honestly abysmal, don't shoot with him.
I think he is very viable for now, as his defensive efforts are very good, great interceptor and tackler, gets good animations defensively and is a noticable anchor in game. His stocky body type also allows him to act as a brick, very tough to overpower him even with bigger attackers like haaland and lukaku.
