1. Vidic Eto'o +5 & Torres Player Review
Vidic Eto'o (+5):
- Has the advantage of being two-footed, but the price-to-performance ratio is disappointing.
- Decent for penetration plays, but may be disappointing for various play styles.
- Weak physique makes it difficult to compete with defenders.
Torres:
- Mid-range shooting ability has improved, but physical strength is weak compared to his physique.
- Feels clunky and the controls aren't great.
- Passing play is very disappointing.
2. Barkley Player Review
Barkley (+5):
- Average as a defensive midfielder, but has the advantage of being two-footed and having good physicals.
- Better than Lampard as a defensive midfielder.
- Tackle success rate and controls are better than Lampard.
- Mid-range shooting is attractive.
- Low defensive stats make AI defending disappointing.
3. Essien & Fabregas Player Review
Essien:
- Used to compensate for Barkley's lack of defensive ability.
- Gives the most Essien-like feel compared to existing Essien cards.
- Few passing mistakes and gives a smooth passing feel.
- Compensates for the low vision of existing cards.
- Satisfactory performance for the salary.
Fabregas:
- Good passing, shooting, and curve stats, and decent movement.
- Dribbling feels disappointing, and the speed isn't fast.
- Low balance and weak physical strength.
- Can be used as a winger, central midfielder, or second striker.
4. Gullit & Salah Player Review
Gullit (+8):
- Excellent physicals, feel, passing, heading, and finishing.
- Can be used as a striker.
- Worth the high price.
Salah:
- Best Chelsea winger (Goat).
- Excellent physicals, feel, shooting, and curve.
- Has an advantage in physical battles against most fullbacks.
- The only downside is that he may be criticized by Chelsea fans.
5. Pedro & Christensen Player Review
Pedro (GR +5):
- Stamina has been improved, and mid-range shooting isn't bad.
- Good feel and two-footed crosses are an advantage.
- ZD shots go in well compared to his stats.
- Average price-to-performance ratio.
Christensen:
- Stats aren't bad, but the price-to-performance ratio is disappointing.
- Doesn't push with his body, and physical strength is weak.
- Tackle accuracy is disappointing.
6. Azpilicueta, Rudiger & Ake Player Review
Azpilicueta:
- Not bad as a center back, but the physical strength of the partner center back is important.
- Weak against cross meta, and difficult to control the center back cursor.
- Good value for money, but doesn't fit the current meta.
Rudiger:
- Best Chelsea center back.
- Excellent in all aspects such as controls, duels, and heading.
- Very expensive.
Ake:
- Most average Chelsea center back.
- Running, feel, physical strength, and dueling stats are average.
- A good choice when it's difficult to use expensive center backs or when you're uncomfortable with short center backs.
7. Carvalho, Desailly, Petit, Hazard, Pulisic, Lampard Player Review
Carvalho:
- Agile and feels strong in physical battles.
- Recommended as a center back.
Desailly:
- Doesn't show the same performance as before.
- Carvalho is a better choice.
Pettit:
- Good left-footed mid-range shot, but weak foot 3 is annoying.
- Recommended for users who are not bothered by the weak foot.
Hazard:
- From the reviews I've seen, he's solid and quick.
- Worth using if you can afford the high price.
Pulisic:
- Seems good to use as a +5.
Lampard:
- One trick pony: shooting.
