Player Review

Another year, another version of the Croatian god. Modric is the best midfielder in terms of dribbling in EA FC hands down. His dribbling and passing combos are unreal. He can run for the whole game and is everywhere when you need him. He truly shines when you use him as an attacking midfielder (CAM).

A little weird but I love him as a CDM in 4231. I am sure as you all know that sprinting down the sideline is a huge thing in this game and with this mans passing and dribbling, it makes it so easy to send one of my wide cams to get through. Using him at CDM in my formation is also so great because I often don't need the extra passes so it is good for a fast counter attack. Honestly his pace and defending are okay as a CDM while using an anchor but he still feels a bit weak. I play him to cut passing lanes and play my storyline kone to be more of a man mark and it works out perfectly. Not saying he's the goat CDM or nothing but he is the glue in my formation with the tactics I use. We cannot replace him....

I expected something special when playing Modric as it felt always before. But in FC24 his gold and this card doesnt feel anything special at all. He doesnt feel exceptional at anything, maybe except passing. His trivela treat doesnt make it much stronger outside of box. I tried him as CM in 4321 and CAM in 4231 - he is okay on CM, but horrible at CAM due to lack of finishing and pace. For CM he is slightly better because of good passing, but from defensive point of view and overall he's not good at fighting for the ball, also he losing it quite often under pressure with bad touch. Was playing him in Div 4-5

Overall there are plenty of midfildiers better and often cheaper than him.
