underrated CDM

So I had proplems finding a good BuLi CDM after playing Can for too long (He was decent but nothing special), to get my Becker on full chem (needs at least 7 BundesPlayers). When he came out I was at first disappointed of that pretty common RB as we already got Frimpong in Bundesliga. Till I realized he was able to play RM so he could actually play CDM with already great Pace so that u can use ChemStyle to boost more important attributes. At first I just wanted to try him cause he was obviously on discard. I was playing him as more defensive as my Park (he helps attacking). So he is staying back in defense while attacking. I was never sure if that was rly the best instruction while playing Can at Cdm but with Meunier I changed my mind. He is so important in the centre for winning balls just after u loosed them and avoid a counter attack with it. Also his building up game is pretty decent cause he is barely making any mistakes in passing or loosing the ball by himself. There are probably much better players in the game and on that position but for just 11k u are getting a monster in the defence. Absolute cheap beast!

88 Pace: probably the position where pace is less important than on every other position (except Gk ofc), so u can use chemStyle to boost other attributes. 88 pace absolutely enough
71 Sho: not rly important, but made a few corner volleys :)
82 Passing: here comes the profit from the high pace. U can boost him with Powerhouse which gives him 90 Passing: 95 Vision, 93 Crossing, 89 Short Pass and 88 Long Pass, absolutely outstanding
83 (90)Def: again Powerhouse boost 97 standing tackle and 90 Interceptions are prob the most important def stats on this card wins u so many tackles. And he is always there when u need him in the centre
4*WF: mostly important for passing, so even less mistakes
Height: 191cm/6´3´´: makes him win so many headers alongside my CBs De Ligt and Süle, and works perfectly together with his 87 strenght

Not rly Cons for me but make bad impact on the card in different tactics:

High/Med Workrates: for me he stes back in defence while attacking, so I dont see his High Attacking workrates but in other tactics or formations that could be a problem.
78 Aggression: So u could boost that with a backbone but I choose Powerhouse for the whole Def and Passing boost. Still alright for me
80 Dribbling: probably the only actually con on that card. 72 agility maybe the worst one so not the best one to outdribble ur opponnent with him and more looking to give the ball to other players with his great passing
Some would say 3*Skills but I dont care especially not for a Cdm
Maybe a bit hard to link on RM
