    He is good but doesnt feel as good as his stats suggest in game in my opinion. Still have in in my team though just above RTTK Tonali.

    High supply, bad links. Most important stat(pace) is subpar at this stage of the game.

    Yeah, he pushed Tonali on the bench for me too. I mean, you basically have elite CM/CDM icon in the team, just look at IGS rating, it's one of the best cards in the game.

    He feels extremly solid, just a brick wall, after upgrade, unique body type, beside a little bit higher stamina, what more can you want from a CDM.

    When can we expect another possible upgrade? It's just market madness that he costs 50-someting k.

    Agree about links, disagree about pace, a midfielder with 85+ pace after chem boost is totally fine.

    Yeah its totally fine, but its not what you really want. You want 85+ pace without chem boost. Its why renato, llorente etc is more expensive. Same reason Vieira is way more expensive than say Keane or Petit. Many stats matter, but pace is king.

    I'm not sure if I ever want to replace him, only a few icons are this good and they all cost an arm and a leg.

    He's actually amazing, on par with Kante imo and wins so many headers from corners.

    No idea because he’s absolutely insane in game. If he had two more pace everyone would use him.

    Links probably holding him back too because unless you use Barella, Di Natale or Cordoba his links are poor

    Yeah they cost way more but the money you need to link him with proper meta players is in the same category. You basicly need icons all the way around him besides for maybe skriniar SS.

    He is basically only really good for Seria A teams. Which is not really meta, for good reasons.

    Green link with Di Natale will do it, also SIF Barella might be incoming.
    As for the pace, I agree that more is better, but you can live with 88 pace given his other stats. I use IF Goretzka with engine, no issues for me

    Green link with Di Natale, who is good at cam or out wide. But then who are you are gonna link Di Natale with? Also having to use a 500k card just to link your Vidal is unattractive for most people.

    Di Natale is good anywhere near the goal. And Serie A has some really cards so far. But as I said, I can agree about bad links as to run players like Vidal, you really need to have a bunch of Serie A players in your squad.

    He is brilliant...I use him at CB when I change to 3atb.
    When in a middle three he absolutely dominates.
    Easy to link with SS Skriniar/Barella/Di Natale/Chiesa/Theo etc.

    Because he plays for a scummy team and you have to look at that fugly badge.
  • Not as good as Tonali, simple as that

    I think he's better than Tonali at CM or in a CDM pair. Tonali is just better as a lone CDM.

    Players are cheaper than past years. People are saying Vidal isn’t good and pick tonali. Tonali is even cheaper. So really it should be why is Vidal more expensive.

    Poor links, poor league which hurts his price. Also no pace

    He is decent enough although stamina can be an issue in a b2b role. He was in packs the weekend of the no loss glitch mass cheat. So a lot of supply. And lots of alternatives such as kessie, tonali and barella. I overpaid for him and have kept him so I don't have to take the loss. But current price is about right. Price for tonali is a bargain imo.
  • Got him untradeable. He's good. And I use him in my main squad. But he doesn't play near his stats suggest imho

    Vidal has no real alternative and I'm saying it as a player with 500 games with both Tonali and Barella.

    I mean, he does have alternative but as we can see they all cost 2.5 mil.
    What is that IGS rating system? Not familiar w that?

    It's an acronim for the in game stats - total of all stats of the card. Best cards at this stage of the game are ~2500 mark and Vidal is 6th overall in that category, including prime icons that are yet to be introduced. That's absolute madness for a card that costs 50k. You literally have an elite CDM icon in your team, with 99 agression.

    I have a slight feeling it's the low price bias - if he was 1.5 mil, we would say he's everywhere, runs the pitch and absolute boss in the middle. On the top of it he has unique body type, AND it's a live card. Linking is really easy with likes of Di Natale, Barella, Skriniar, so don't have a clue what people expect, it's not like he's Fellaini-hard to link.
