96 - TOTY

5.0

OH KEVIN DE BRUYNE

By AnuragMathew2302, 17-02-2022

I was lucky enough to pack him in my second week of FIFA from my Div Rivals rewards... Played with him mainly in Div1/2 and FUT Champions(Rank3/4). This card is an absolute beast, a leader who can do absolutely everything on the pitch. I used him with a shadow on a few different formations; As a CAM in 4-2-3-1 narrow, as a CM in 4-3-3 and 4-1-2-1-2 narrow along with TOTY Hakim and rare gold Kante. He wreaked havoc through the centre with his left stick dribbling and pin point passing. You're guaranteed a goal 9 times out of 10 if you green time a finesse shot from anywhere around 40 yards from the goalposts. His positioning and movement on the pitch should be illegal, even though I had him on Stay Forward as a CAM in 4231, he used to drop back sometimes when the opponent was using team press and after playing the ball on the wings he charges to the opponent's box to finish a cross or score a banger from the edge of the box. Defensively he was really solid as well, he can bully any player of the ball and intercepts most of the through balls and driven passes. Sometimes he can be pushed of the ball and his heading is below average, bar that he is one of the best midfielders available on the game.

Might not be the best option as a CDM

By MasterOfDucks, 06-02-2022

I packed him out of an 81+ double. Had big hype since it is the first TOTY I ever packed.

Use him as a CDM in a 4222 next to Kante. Kante being the only reason why he is still in my team, because Kevin likes to bottle it a lot for me:

It's time to shoot the intercepted ball out of your own penalty area, Kevin has it and there is a player walking free with absolutely no interceptions possible if the pass goes to him.

You aim at it, but Kevin has the bright idea of passing it somewhere completely else. I don't know why it happens to me, but it is frustrating me a lot. Imagine this happening in the 90th minute of WL. Yes, it was painful and no, I've not yet recovered. Now this could also just be my bad luck, but I made a Futbin account just to write this review. That's how bad it got. Gold Kante is way more reliable for me. He single handedly tends to clean up all the mess Kevin makes next to him. Nontheless I still love him pushing forward. His dribbling feels great and his long shots are OUT of this world. His 5 star weak foor also tends to come in clutch.

Long story short: don't use him as your CDM, he might be better at CM or CAM but I don't know because I've not played him there yet.

Long shots are great

Stamina, could run a marathon and still not be tired at all

5 star weak foot to bully your opponent's defence

High/High

Great at interceptions

The bottling previously described

Gets bullied off the ball sometimes by players who are way weaker
