Player Review
89 - Fantasy
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 at CDM in a 352, the squad is linked.
HE IS SO GOOD. If you're any good at reading the game he's really good at intercepting passes, he's so strong that he just eases opposition midfielders off the ball, he can distribute it well as well. I've even been able to dribble through midfields and defences with him, using roulettes primarily, and inside the box his shooting isn't awful (compared to the card stats). Obviously, it almost goes without saying but his tackling is second to none as well, I've even considered playing him at CB but it's hard to displace the 3 I currently have back there (Captains Mings, Headliners James, Flashback Varane).
It's not a perfect card; he has misplaced a few long passes for me, and he is quite clunky due to his massive size. But I can definitely deal with that.
Tackling
Strength
Dribbling (for a big man)
Short Passing
Plays like he's got a trunk in his shorts
Slow to accelerate (but rarely use him to sprint anywhere so it's not a dealbreaker)
Clunky
Long Passing
Hairstyle (needs to be balder)
