    I massively regret grinding for Prime Essien. Roams forward too much to be a reliable CDM, and when playing further forward, as a box to box CM, I find his dribbling and finishing lets him down in forward positions.

    How do you find him defensively though, he looks very OP from reviews?

    He's excellent when he's in the right position, fast and strong. But even when instructed to Stay Back he seems to think he's a centre forward for me 😄

    I have him as CM in my second team currently, but honestly I find him average at best, his goals and assists ratio per game reflects that for me.

    What'd you guys expect from a h/h cdm like Essien? Petit does exactly the same at cdm just much more slowly. Pim Essien's a different beast altogether if you can manage it.

    Linekar has great stats and work rates. I enjoyed him when I used him. Only downside is 3 star skills

    I still rate baby Hierro CB. I actually have him in over VVD :D

    Baby Raul's price looks decent as well, great shout!

    Any ADP
    Any Raul (even the 86)

    All great cards.

    I used his 86 as a CAM for loads of games behind Villa. He was amazing for me, with Hunter he has a similar pace and feel as Aguero. Just sold his 88 after 300 games. Both cards performed brilliantly for me. The 88 has enough pace to be a lone striker the 86 definitely better as a deep CF/CAM

    He seems good at intercepting and getting the game going again... I get your point he's more on the defensive side as opposed to attacking

    Which version of Linekar did you use? His pace looks great

    I found VVD as either hit or miss in some games... Hierro looks good but can he perform against the meta players?

    93 might be a stretch but I'll consider the 91 as he's very popular amongst the community it seems!
    91 Drogba unless you can buy the 93

    Which one out of the three do you think is best?
    sparky123 wrote: »
    Mid Ferdinand
    Base Blanc
    Baby or Prime ADP

    Depends if you want to spend all your coins on one icon or get a couple to upgrade areas of your team

    That's good to hear that he can play deeper and still perform exceptionally well... Do you have any other recommendations at CAM?

    I was thinking of looking at maybe getting both Kaka and Gullit. They have different qualities and seem OP

    I’ve not tried Kaka but I’d stay away from baby Gullit. PIM Lampard, 89 Ballack are better options

    I heard Ballack is a bit clunky but can look into PIM Lampard
