85 - LaLiga POTM SBC
Im using him as ST on a 4321 formation with Depay and Aspas as CF. Depay goes back to defense to transform the formation into 442, de Jong and Tchouameni cover the center and Modric is my RM/CAM.
So far, Kubo is class. Very agile and quick, his speed is unbearable, smooth ball control with left stick dribbling and R1(Details in *). And his shooting is very good, probably scores 6/7 out of 10 shots.
His only downside is the physical, but his quickness really covers up.
His passing is very ok, nothing phenomenal but he makes right passes frequently.
For me he is a 8.5/10.

*SB A.I simply couldn't touch Kubo with R1 dribbling on, if you try to bypass the defender out of his reach holding R1, you probably will dribble him without much effort. Online defenders couldn't get the ball off Kubo frequently because the ball is stuck on his feet, if you know how to spin and carry the ball properly holding R1 you will not lose possession.
Very quick and agile. 94 acceleration paired with 90 agility and nearly 90 ball control and dribbling stats makes him very smooth to play.
Very good shooting inside the box. 4* weak foot gives him more possibility to get good shots.
Have technical and first touch badges.
Physically weak. He probably won't win shoulder to shoulder battles with fast and strong BPL defenders i.e., so keep in your mind that Kubo needs to play with the ball on his feet. Through balls/double tap sprint only if you are sure that the defender is slower than you.
