95 - Premium SBC
I did the SBC because I needed a cdm for a (new) formation with the new Kaká card. I completed him together with Jordi Alba to get the necessary links and I don't regret that I did both.
I play him with the anchor chem style in 4-2-2-2 formation as my right and attacking orientated cdm. He is 6.2" tall and has medium/high (att/def) workrates. Especially the high defensive workrate is important for me in this formation and helps a lot.
Pace (9/10):
Because of the lengthy acceleration type he is very fast. Hi acceleration may not be the best but for a defensive midfielder it is sufficient.
Shooting (8/10):
For a cdm he has very good shooting stats. Perfect positioning stats (99) and you notice that a lot, even with the "only" medium attacking workrate. That is why I play him as my right attacking oriented cdm with balanced attacking.
Passing (10/10):
Short passes or long passes come off perfectly. I don't need crosses for a cdm, but even with the 76 stats for crosses that will work from time to time.
Dribbling (10/10):
In my opion he has a very good dribbling for a cdm. With these dribbling stats, especially agility and balance, I haven't expected too much. But his agility surprised me most of all. In my opinion for his tall a very agile card with nice own dribbling animations. Also the balance is no issue because of the lengthy acceration type and his strong physicality (95 strength).
Defense (10/10):
Not much to say because perfect. Good marking for such a tall player and very good defensive positioning. Due to his high defensive workrate he jumps in almost every defensive situation with nice interceptions and tackles. In addition he has really good defensive animations. Also his 4 star weak foot helps a lot in defensive situations to get the ball from the opponent.
Physicality (10/10):
His physicality helps a lot. He never loses his balance and won't be tackled off the ball.
