Detail Review

Pace

As a natural CAM, Cole's speed does compete with wingers, he can run well on stepovers and without it. He can stride fast even late in the game. (8.6/10)

Shooting

Cole has fantastic shooting range, capable of finishing from long distances. His shots carry a lot of power, accuracy and curl when needed. (8.7/10)

Passing

Cole has good vision and the ability to execute pin point balls. He is great at releasing teammates into open space, making him lethal on counters. (8.7/10)

Dribbling

Cole isn't very tall, which makes him feel smooth and agile with the ball. He is very good with sharp turns and has responsive effective skill moves. (8.8/10)

Physical

Although Cole's physical stat aren't the highest, he doesn't struggle much with most challenges and has impressive balance. (8.5/10)

Positioning

Cole has very good attacking instincts and is always available for the pass. He acts as a conductor between the backline and the frontline. (8.3/10)

Weak Foot

Unfortunately, 4* Weak Foot does cost chances and limits Cole's unpredictability and flexibility. (7.8/10)

Traits

Cole has just 1 trait which isn't that ideal for MM. (7.8/10)

Overall Rating: 8.4/10

Final Verdict

Cole is a good option if you are a newbie and lacks a CAM. Though he isn't the best, he can get the job done in all modes.
