Player Review

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I got my 10 Tokens pretty fast and played till then barella IF who was very outdated.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.

I was undoubtedly going to take tonali from swaps, as I used every one of his cards last year and they were exceptional, this card was no different. I will get the negatives out of the way first, his agility is not what the stat says and he is a bit of a truck, yet despite this he is able to make lungbursting runs all game and just barge through players. That being said, when he gets into an attacking postion in front on goal, his 74 finishing is not the greatest. It took him 50 games to score his first goal as a box to box midfielder in a mixture of champs, qualis and rivals. His Defending is absolutely elite, he is paired in my midfield with the new Bellegarde WW sbc, and they are like two peas in a pod, they seem to just work perfectly together, with tonali being a btb midfielder and bellegarde being a stay back. He intercepts most things, goes flying into challenges, and in the 60 games that i have used him for, only gotten 2 yellow cards surprisingly and his strength is impeccable, but defending is absolutely outstanding with a shadow chem style. His passing is the stat that is a lie though, it is just different, he is able to make passes that i would never think humanly possible and he makes it look easy, short pass or long pass, he can do it all. All in all, the best option from swaps as he is a brilliant all round midfielder with some terrific links such as bennacer, dest, leao, maldini and my grandma.

He is a lockdown CDM. I have played him as CDM, but right now I play him as a CM but with stay back on attack and he plays the role perfect. He is an absolute tank in the midfield.

This card is great, i use him at CDM and CB very good all-around defender.
