Player Review

Div 1/Elite player.
Extremely disappointing. Got him from mid/prime PP and was moderately excited to use.Before him I used FS Saliba and he was pretty good but he dropped Dest's chem so Prime Rio was a a good option.
Overall he is an extremelly disappointing CB. His pace is fine, but everything else is bad. Dribbling is truly shambolic,this guy turns slower than the Slabhead. Passing is very very suspect and he will frequently mess up simple passes to the CDM or to the LB/RB. Long passing is out of the question with him.
Physically he is also very underwhelming. He was regularly outmuscled in long balls by Ben Yedder and other forwards that Saliba would easily crush. Additionally his pace isnt high enough to give him an Anchor so you are pretty much stuck with using a Shadow on him.
After giving up on him I have used FS Saliba, FB Sanchez, FB Vezo and POTM Koulibaly and all of them are more reliable and secure than Ferdinand. If he was 100k maybe give him a try, but paying 500k for an extremelly unreliable CB is just not a good use of your coins imo.
Okay pace, with a Shadow he can be competitive
Tackles and jockeying are good enough
Catastrophic dribbling
Very unreliable passing
Physically not strong enough
