I play him next to Nunes in a 41212 as a RCM and he is insane. In my team, I use him as a B2B midfielder and he is nearly everywhere on the pitch. He can shoot if needed, but I would say is strength is winning or holding the ball and playing short passes to create chances. He really fights for the ball and with Nunes he got a great partner with a bit more pace (the other CM is De Bruyne, for more offensive playstyle). The only downside is his pace, cuz he need some time to gain speed, but I play him with Powerhouse and not a pace-boosting chemstyle... maybe thats the reason. I play in Div4.
