Player Review
94 - Icon Moments
I use a 433(2) with slow build up and possession tactics and I don't rely on my 2 CMs defensively, so bit of an off-meta review here. The defending is something you will notice is not on the same level as Futties Barella or Showdown Wijnaldum for example, but the AI is better than anyone else I've used this FIFA (I've used Moments Cruyff and Pele, Futties Barella and Showdown Wijnaldum... and so on). I use him on the Basic chemistry style because I want a bit of everything from him. His shooting is excellent, passing and dribbling second to none and the 85 88 pace feels much better than it sounds. Pace has not been an issue at all. If his tackling stats were better he would certainly be the best midfielder in the game.
-AI, always in the right position for scoring, assisting and build-up play
-Passing (unsurprisingly)
-Dribbling, (not for one vs ones) 99 ball control is really nice for aerial balls, turning in tight spaces is unbelievably easy, composure makes a big difference and he has 99
-Shooting, outside foot shot is really really good
-Pace, not that fast, but with perfect positioning you don't really need him to be any faster either
-Easily lasts 120 minutes when needed.
-Icon and Spanish, (strong link to Ramos and Pedri)
-Defending and physicality not on the same level as many others.
