Detail Review

Pace

+ Fellaini's pace is considered average; while he has a great acceleration to make quick recoveries and explosive runs on the spot, he lacks the sprint speed that is necessary for him to run long range. (8.8/10)

Passing

+ Fellaini's ability to deliver passes from any distance makes him a great playmaker. With his great vision, he is able to read the game well and create scoring opportunities for his teammates. (9.6/10)

Defending

+ His defending is solid overall, thanks to his excellent awareness and superb standing tackles; however, his inability to mark opponents that well remains a weak spot of his. (9.5/10)

Physicality

+ For a CM, Fellaini's physicality is incredibly strong, as he proves that with his remarkable strength, he's able to win most shoulder duels against his opponents. (9.8/10)

Dribbling

- In game, his dribbling feels heavy and sluggish, lacking the agility needed for tight control, due to his 194 cm height that makes him unsuitable to the current meta focusing on agile attackers and midfielders. (8/10)

Skill Moves Level

- As Fellaini only possesses a 3* skill moves level, he is unable to perform most of the meta skill moves, such as Heel to Heel Flick or Lane Change, making him more predictable during dribbles. (8/10)

Overall Rating: 9.0/10

Final Verdict

Marouane Fellaini is a decent box-to-box CM that has a solid pace, playmaking ability, and defense. However, he lacks the ability to dribble past opponents well, especially due to his 3* skill moves that limit his versatility on the ball. It's not recommended to claim him with shards or coins, but if you have packed him and are in need of a midfielder, Fellaini is a good temporary starter who can help you until you find a more meta-friendly option.
