94 - TOTS
I'd been really struggling to get a good CDM all game, and the only cards I truly rated were Tchouameni's IF cards, but didn't have the coins for his better cards. When I packed this guy I was gassed as he fit my Serie A setup perfectly and my god he is pure quality.
I use him on Basic chem style since I don't think his defending needs any boost beyond that and aside from his 10/10 defending, what surprised me the most is how agile and smooth on the ball is and how precise his passing is. I use him as a CM on Stay Back and he's a midfield maverick.
Pace
Feels absolutely rapid which surprised me. His pace stat is good but I did expect him to be a little slow/clunky still and I was so wrong, he catches up to pretty much anyone
Defending
Defending is utterly flawless. His tackles leave opponents on the flaw and his interceptions are perfect for cutting off counters early. His AI defensive positioning is also incredible, he's always in the right position at the right time.
Passing
Passing is perfect. He doesn't pass with flair like EOAE Insigne or someone, but his accuracy and power are 10/10, great for starting counter attacks
Dribbling
Probably the biggest surprise for me; On Basic Chem Style, his dribbling feels top notch. I expected him to be a bit clunky due to height and physical combo but he's smooth as butter on the ball and can actually wriggle out of really tight situations like an agile winger.
Physicality
Very good- strong, great in the air and stamina lasts all game. Another big pro is the 99 Aggression- he takes no prisoners when tackling and just sends the opponent in to next week.
Shooting
He's not there to score goals but now and again he'll pull off a worldie longshot.
Overall
The best CDM I've used all game and one of the best I've ever used on FIFA, probably only comes second to 97 Showdown Guendouzi and 98 Acuna on FIFA 21.
He performs way above what his price tag would suggest and if you can link him, I'd 100% recommend trying him out because imo, on this game there aren't that many good CDMs at a fair price- and this guy is the best of them.
