Player Review
87 - Winter Wildcards
It's my first review i ever give to a player but this guy honestly deserved it.
About me: I'm currently in Div 4 and played last week my first WL after maybe 1 1/2 Months. I got a 14:5, so Rank IV.
I got my 10 Tokens pretty fast and played till then barella IF who was very outdated. After i got him in the team i instantly realised how much impact a good CM makes. He was everywhere when i needed him.
Mostly i played him in a 4222 as right CDM or in a 4321 as the middle CM who stays back while attacking. In both Formations Park Ji Sung Worldcup Hero was his Partner and they are the best midfield for low budget i could have ever imagined. (tonali free and Park Ji Sung 160k when i bought him). I played him with an anchor.
I played 94 games with him till now and i absolutely love him.
DO HIM AS LONG AS YOU CAN ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE A SERIA-A TEAM.. Fodder packs come and go but a cheap CM with great all round ratings in this class comes again in maybe February/March.
- Fast on and off the ball, it feels way more than 84 pace more like 88.
- His passing is great, you can also make some OP L1R1 passes but ofc he's not prime zidane who can make any pass.
- he was also my corner-kick taker and also managed there a solid job.
- His Dribbling is in connection with the pace his signature trait. If anyone tries to go through him with a trick or pace he will react fast or can even change the side in which he now starts to run immediately.
- His physicality and defending is great, nothing more. Park Ji Sung has 80 defending and 82 Physical but he plays nearly identical to him. His Stamina is also great with 90 (if you dont over-use him he will play the whole 90min but often i still substituted him in the 70th minute for fresh air in the midfield.
- Best CM from Seria A under 400k, bc idk how good Marchisio is, i expect him to be as good as him.
- He's costing 10 Swap Tokens which could be used for fodder packs
- His shooting is not the best but mostly you dont use his shooting. The only goals i made where direct corners. :)
- Maybe some prefer if a player has one stat that outshines the other, this one is the complete opposite. He's great on everystat and very good on Pace and dribbling.
