89 - Fantasy

4.5

META Truck

By sd013, 30-03-2022

After using Gold Kante as a CDM in 4-2-2-2 and 4-2-3-1 for over 500 games, it was time for a change. While powerful meta CDMs are rarely affordable, my pack luck took a turn as I packed untradeable FUT Fantasy Moussa Sissoko. As a lifelong Spurs fan, I have always dissed Sissoko and hated on him, but in Fifa, there are very few players who are as OP as him for the CDM position. This year is no different and Sissoko is the epitome of a bulldozer in the midfield, destroying everything and everyone in his path. Using him as the stay back CDM in 4231, he was on the prowl every game with tackles and interceptions as he bossed the midfield and shielded my defenders so that they didn't have to get out of position. I was surprised to see no reviews for him when I packed him, so after trying him for 20 games (Division 1) I thought I might as well talk about my experience a little bit. For 450k he seems slightly overpriced at first glance, but with the potential for upgrades, he might be a steal. Watford have 3 easy fixtures in the next 5 and Sissoko has scored twice in his previous 5 games. So 90 or 91 seems like a safe bet. I used him with a shadow which seemed perfect for his role.

His defense and physical prowess was expected, he literally wins every 50-50 battle, ngl. His defensive position is excellent, but if you miss out on a tackle, his aggression will leave your defense uncovered. So maybe don't go with cut passing lanes if you're scared bout that. His agility and balance are low and tbh he isn't the best player to progress the ball with, but his excellent passing makes up for it. I think if a Defensive CDM can pick a perfect pass on the counter or for ball progression, he is COMPLETE. Kante couldn't do that for me but Sissoko is so much better at that. Even with low vision, his passing is phenomenal for ball progression. He even got 4 assists for me without ever really coming near the box. I guess 3 star skills are a con, but for me his role does not require trickery. The only noticeable downgrade over Kante would be in game acceleration coz I could feel he was struggling in some cases to chase down strikers. But if you have a decent starting position, you'll be good. All in all, Excellent card with almost definite upgrade upside. Will provide protection to the backline.

Moussa Sissoko

The most solid CDM I've played yet

Disclaimer: My players play other positions ingame, I run a 4-1-2-1-2 (2) with the following players: Desailly (CDM), Sissoko and Aouar (CM), Fekir (CAM). That also means I don't play him in his original position, just because my other CM Aouar is already quite attack orientated so I wanted this player to be kind of an allrounder with a slightly defendin...

Moussa Sissoko

Big Moussa is a BEAST

So, I'm a lifelong Watford fan (and my liver has taken the brunt of that burden). In this horrendous season, there has been one player who quietly and consistently has done his job without any fuss, and that's Moussa Sissoko. I liked him when he was at Spurs and I love him now. So I HAD to get this card when it came out. I definitely overpaid for him, but thinking about it now I would've paid more for this card. I play him ...
