Detail Review
Pace
+
Kuyt feels surprisingly quick for a CM. He moves really well during transitions and has enough pace to carry the ball forward or get back into position quickly. His movement is especially useful in a box tobox role.
(9.9/10)
Passing
+
Passing is one of his biggest strengths. Short passes feel sharp and reliable, while his long balls and through passes are also very good. He links up really well with both the attack and defence, and the Tiki Taka playstyle makes his passing even smoother.
(9.9/10)
Dribbling
+
His dribbling is good for a midfielder of this type. He has very good balance and ball control, so he doesn't get pushed off the ball easily. He's not the most agile CM around, but his turns feel controlled and he can comfortably carry the ball through midfield.
(9.7/10)
Shooting
+
Kuyt can definitely contribute going forward. His long shots are particularly dangerous and he has enough shooting power to score from outside the box. His finishing is decent too, and with his attacking movement, he can pop up with important goals.
(9.8/10)
Defending
+
For a CM, his defensive work is really impressive. He feels active when tracking back, gets involved in challenges and has the awareness to make useful defensive interventions. He's not just an attacking box to box midfielder, he can actually help defensively as well.
Rating: (9.8/10)
Physical
+
Very strong physically. Kuyt can handle midfield battles well and doesn't get bullied easily. His strength and aggression make him excellent in duels, especially when fighting for loose balls or trying to win possession back.
(9.9/10)
Stamina
+
His stamina is good enough for the box to box role. He can keep working throughout the match and won't completely disappear late game. This is important because Kuyt's biggest strength is his ability to contribute all over the pitch.
(9.8/10)
Positioning
+
His positioning and awareness are excellent for a CM. He gets into useful attacking areas while still having the awareness to track back and support the defence. He feels like a proper allround midfielder rather than someone stuck in one area of the pitch.
(9.9/10)
Aerial Ability
+
His aerial game is also quite useful for a midfielder. He has good jumping and heading ability, so he can compete for balls in midfield and even be a threat from set pieces.
(9.5/10)
Final Verdict
Kuyt is a crazy wellrounded CM. He's quick, strong, defensively useful, a very good passer and can still contribute goals. The 5★ weak foot is a massive bonus because you can play him comfortably on either side without worrying about his passing or shooting. For a box to box CM, this card is pure meta and definitely worth trying.
