3.0

Solid B2B midfielder

By SnufflestheMitten, 19-11-2021

As the new TOTW dropped, I was excited when I saw this card. Face stats look good for as early as we still are in FIFA. I decided to put him in a very generic Serie A squad and test him out in the 4-4-2 (2) as the left CDM, where I have been playing Zaniolo, as a box-to-box midfielder. I slapped a Catalyst on him because a shadow felt pointless with his workrates; he's never going to be good as an out-and-out CDM.

Pace: Quick enough to manually close down opposition. 92 with catalyst so this is expected.

Shooting: Can't say I get him into a ton of shooting situations but on the few shots I've taken with him? This is not a strong point.

Passing: Maybe it's the benefit of the Catalyst, but Zambo makes some obnoxiously good passes. Driven low passes and over the top through balls are on point; the lack of curve doesn't appear to be an issue.

Dribbling: It's fine. He's not Barella but he's not a bus when you try to control/L1 dribble. Good body type.

Defending: Manually he is fine, but the low defensive work rate DOES hurt him if you're not manually pulling him back.

Physicality: He's strong enough to push people off the ball and win headers, despite his low heading accuracy. Can shield ball effectively.

Passing: He can hit all of the passes you need from the centre of the park.

Shooting: He's just not good at it

Defending: Work rates matter and unless you're committing time to manually winning the ball, there are better options
