FIFA 23 Player Review

One word...INSANE

ByUnknown05-04-2023

Was trying to sort out chem and was looking at a defensive mid under 600k. I found the perfect fit, he is crazy. Every year, the dives into tackle trait elevates mids and fullbacks by a lot. HIs M/H work rate is crazy. I've paired him with M/M in a 352 and 4222 setup. While he is supposed to be a defensive mid, after he wins the ball, I trigger his run and then he either makes a dribble or insane pass. It's funny cause most of my team is tall but somehow this guy shows the most presence in my team. I've tried so many defensive mids under 600k but this guy is the one, at least until late tots or possibly endgame.

Presence on pitch and work rates are stupid good
Pace is crazy with explosive both. Bursts come off very nice in the middle of the pitch to make space for a dribble or pass
Shooting comes off very nice from short players this year
Left stick dribbling is the best on any player I've used on any fifa. Comes off crazy cause he's short. Sometimes he just does a dribble without me doing anything
Passing is great, elevated by traits
Defensively he's amazing. Standing tackles come off very nice, sometimes his animation for slide tackle aren't great but his slides to block pass lanes come off very nice.
Even though he's short, his aggression makes his physical shine

Height and jumping
Although his aggression does a lot, he does get bodied. Surprisingly not as much as you'd think but still a fair bit.
For the position, literally nothing else

If Kante and Pirlo had a child

I´m saving all my "good" packs for toty, so I was really surprised when he hopped out of a 2x80+ Players pack from some objective. I benched baby Vieira to try him and he hasn´t left my starting 11 since. The main thing you can say about him is, you get exactly what you would expect when looking at his stats. With a shadow he is super quick, great dribbling and passing, solid defending just lacks the size and strenght when y...

Worth it! - even thogh he is a midget

Used in Fut champs and rivals with guardian to boost his shooting mainly and he played in game as a central CAM in 4231 formation. I pretty much never use small players like Veratti though I was changing my squad and tought I would give him a try and I'm glad I did it. He is increadible to put it simply. I don't think shadow is nessecary on him even though the pace split is pretty significant. As a playmaker he is perfect, Pe...

Just Faster, with a 5* Weakfoot

I've always liked Verrati special cards and really wanted to like this card. I played about 20 games with this guy in Rivals. Div 3. His FB was one of my fav cards last year. Unfortunately, this card just is not it.Having Verrati in midfield requires you to pair with bigger more physical players, and he cannot really play anywhere but CM or CDM IMO. Without chem boosts, his passing and ball control are elite but his defending...
