Sokratis - 13k - Quick, strong but small and likes to be out of position; has a high defensive work rate so does well sitting back and not helping attacks. I like him as he is mobile but he is cumbersome and feels quite small. (7.5/10)
Matip - 11k - Feels huge; strong, quick when he gets going and shoves people with ease. On the turn he is slow and passing/ability on the ball isn't fantastic but he is a defender who stays back and gives good protection. (7.5/10)
Hunt - 14k - Good but not great player even though defensively he isn't the best; good passer, decent on the ball, not brilliant but quite decent running with the ball, better than good passing but not excellent though seems to be involved in everything. (7.5/10)
Meier - 10k - Got him at a bargain as he is usually a CAM but he's an interesting player; sometimes he is amazing and every pass goes straight to his man but other times I cannot believe he is a footballer. Makes important challenges though and is very strong; any short dropping long balls are yours no matter who they have as he is a monster in the air. Don't dribble though; pass away or take a touch and pass as he is very slow and dribbles in stages rather than in motion. Other options I would rather try but I can't afford them and at 10k I really can't complain. Oh and he has a decent long shot but in the box he's terrible because his shots take forever to wind up and even outside it that wind up can see the ball getting stripped. I think I need to change the way I play with him. (7/10...just about)
Ya Konan - 10k - 352 might not suit him in the middle of the pitch but coming back and in the final third he is very useful. He gets tired quickly and is a little slow to control the ball but when released with a bit of space his shot is very dangerous from many angles and his crossing is okay. He has good pace but is caught by the quickest full backs and sometimes he's not making runs when he should be all in all for the price paid he's a bargain with lots of good attributes to make your team tick. (8/10)
De Bruyne - 14k - Great player and a strong attacker with some desire to help in defence. Good long shot and decent finish and his passing will release players even if mine make strange runs. Overall I am very happy with him and he was a great cheap alternative to Holtby who seems like a decent player even though he is expensive. Another one for the future. (9/10)
Arango - 13k - What a player! Shame he has absolutely no pace whatsoever and no skill moves. He certainly does avoid using his weaker foot though his passing and crossing really is a joy. I am still trying to get used to using him in 352 as you just cannot take on a defender with him (well I can't) but his inside passes and balls to strikers are brilliant which does make up for the lack of paace. If only he had high attacking work rates because his pace makes the long shot difficult to get off and it would be useful if I could find him consistently in the final third. Probably better in a 4321 but I will continue to play with him to work it all out. (7/10...just about)
KieBling - 11k - So slow, so every so slow but a bull and when chasing a ball next to a defender and he usually strips them for a chance to shoot. His shooting could be better even though he does have a lot of power, his heading is excellent and his movement quite amazing...don't through ball a chasing ball though he won't make it but he will drag defender which for De Bruyne is a good thing. Involved in everything but up front you have to be clever rather than quick because his touch for a shot can be laboured and he can seem cumbersome. Passing is decent though not amazing. Needs a quick partner and I have Bance....hmmmm....other option was Ibisevic ha. With someone quick near him he could really be useful simple due to those incredible runs and constant movement...gets tired quickly. (7.5/10)
Bance - 17k - Bought him because someone said I should and I am starting to get used to him. He is available for passes in midfield, as KieBling is, but it can be difficult to run away from defences unless you're going to the corner. Quicker that KieBling but his shot isn't quite as good even though it is quicker to get off. He can score with both feet which was a surprise because he is so bad controlling with his left but he plays well with his back to goal and I've found he has a better sidestep than KieBling in the box. Again with a quicker striker I think he could be quite useful because he is strong, absolutely brilliant in the air and will hold the space between the striker and midfield quite well. Again this has been a good way for me to use the quicker De Bruyne because I lack someone out and out quick in my team. (8/10)
Ter Steggen - 13k - At first I really liked him but he is very inconsistent and can make some shocking decisions such as palming the ball to defenders or missing the ball entirely. On occasions he is unstoppable but since I have bought Adler and he is absolutely brilliant. (7.5/10)
