FIFA 23 Player Review

Insane in game

Bymatt14lax29-11-2022

He's just an insane player to have on the pitch . You can move him to CB or CDM and will be an absolute brick wall on defense with anchor (lengthy). He absolutely bodies every player and is extremely physical and its noticeable. Great box to box midfielder as well with the high high workrates. offensively he plays faster than he actually is 80 acc 80 speed. passes are good and dribbling is good as well. The shooting is average . and its only a 76 because his vollies and penalties are 56 and 58. For the price you wont find a better CM.

Defense-Like i said he can play as an all star CB and CDM , he intercepts literally everything. make sure you have him on stay back while attacking if your playing him at cb or cdm because his high high work rates will bring him up the pitch. if your pressing and need a last second goal , this guy will always be the one to get the game winning interception.

Physical- He's a UNIT. He looks pretty big in game and you'll be shocked how many times he just knocks offensive players over and just bodies everyone in his path.

Passing-if you put an engine instead of an anchor chem style his passing will be really good and have great through balls.

Dribbling- nothing special with 3 star skill moves but his physical makes up for it if you shield with him , he wont lose the ball.

Shooting is not terrible actually with 75 positioning , 76 finishing and 81 shot power. its just his vollies and penalties that bring down his rating and those two never played a factor for me .

3 star skills moves can be annoying for all the sweaty skillers out there.

Merino

The Best B2B CM in the Game

On the back of last year, I knew who I had to buy for my team straight up, the GOAT himself, Mikel Merino. Last FIFA he was a hidden gem, and after over 100 games I can happily say he's the same this year. Playing him as a left CM in a 4-1-2-1-2 (2) has showed his class, with a shadow (although he can become LENGHTY with an Architect if you want) he has far outperformed most of the midfielders I have used. These midfielders ...
