I got this player from a FUT Birthday Guarantee Pack (yes, i know i’m lucky), and it was one (and is) of my best pack pulls of the year. WZE has been great in game for me, providing tons of assists and a couple goals along the way as well. Great stats, that reflect in game. I’ve been using him in a 4-4-2 formation on a holding+ center mid role with focus on defend. I have him in the center of midfield alongside Thunderstruck Ruud Gullit. I have also used him as a CDM as holding+ role, with focus on defend as well. At CDM, he is also great, but I prefer him in the CM role (mostly because my formation doesn’t have a 4-4-2).
-Dribbling: The standout to me on this card is his dribbling. The ratings definitely don’t overstate his dribbling, in fact they might understate it. He feels lovely on the ball, and doesn’t lose it often. His first touch is great, and his R1 dribbling is solid as well, despite not having the Technical playstyle. -Another standout stat is his passing. With Long Ball+, and Tiki Taka silver, this cards passing is wonderful. He completes tons of difficult passes through tight areas, and is great at switching play with his long ball passes. His passing feels like AT LEAST 93, despite only being 91 in the stats. -Defending: With intercept+, this card is great at locking down the opponents attacks. He’s great at stopping counter attacks, and solid when the opponents have big chances, like breakaways. He feels nice to tackle with, and even his slide tackles aren’t too bad either. -Physicality: With 92 physical, it’s no shock that this card is pretty strong as well. He’s 5’10” (or 178 cm for you Europeans) and does get bodied by some bigger and stronger cards (VVD, Gullit, etc.), but overall he does feel strong when he’s winning the ball, and keeping off players while he’s dribbling.
-Shooting: Obviously, with 83 shooting, this card isn’t gonna be great when taking shots. He has 4 goals, even when I try to get him chances. Lots of his shots from distance go wide, or go straight to the keeper (even when I green time it). His short range shots, which all of his goals for me have come from, aren’t too bad, but he never makes runs into the box without me telling him too, and even when I do, he still is slow to react and takes long to find open space. -Pace: I can’t get behind the pace. For some reason, he feels slow when I’m chasing someone down. When I tried out his dribbling, he was quick with the ball at his feet, but unlike many other cards, he feels exactly the same running, and dribbling. I don’t know why, with his 92 pace, but he just feels weird running.
