Used as a totally defensive CDM in either 4321 or 442 and he delivers :) At least 2 intercepts per game and very useful in order to retake possession. Better than Lahm, Makelele, Witsel etc. hard to replace with someone under one million.
Interception is real, best I used on this start in game feeling
A true warrior, he fights and win most of the ball fights
Passing is more than decent
Stamina is out of this world (guy is running like he has 3 lungs)
Defense AI in game is very good
height if you really rely on a CDM to be 300 m tall
shooting is playable, but I would not really on his shoot all the time (especially the long range one)
Great card that I still use even during tots. He feels rapid and wins ever challenge. Due to his play style, he can run for the whole game and not loose much sprint speed. His only downsides are his height, shooting (never take a shot with him), and he is quite hard to link.
