Detail Review
Pace
(+)
His pace is good for a central midfielder. He moves well between both boxes and has enough acceleration to carry the ball through midfield. While he won't outrun elite defenders, his speed is more than sufficient for his role.
(8.3/10)
Shooting
(+)
His shooting is decent but not a major strength. He can score from outside the box with powerful strikes and occasionally make late runs into the area, though he isn't a consistent goalscorer.
(7.9/10)
Passing
(+)
Passing is one of the strongest parts of this card. His short passing is crisp, long passes are accurate and he controls the tempo well from midfield. He distributes the ball confidently and keeps attacks flowing.
(8.9/10)
Dribbling
(+)
His ball control feels composed and reliable under pressure. He shields possession well, turns smoothly in midfield and carries the ball effectively through tight spaces. His 4★ Skill Moves also provide extra versatility when escaping defenders.
(8.4/10)
Defending
(+)
Despite being a CM, his defensive contribution is excellent. Anticipate makes his standing tackles far more reliable, while his awareness allows him to intercept passes consistently. His Medium/High work rates also help him stay disciplined defensively.
(8.9/10)
Physical
(+)
He feels strong enough to compete in midfield duels and protects the ball well. His strength stands out, although his aggression and stamina prevent him from feeling completely dominant over a full match.
(8.2/10)
Positioning
(+)
His positioning is one of his underrated qualities. He stays available during build up play, tracks back effectively because of his Medium/High work rates, and occupies intelligent spaces to support both attack and defense.
(8.5/10)
Weak Foot
(-)
His 3★ Weak Foot is the biggest weakness of the card. It can affect passing and finishing when forced onto his weaker side, making him slightly less consistent under pressure.
(7.3/10)
Stamina
(+)
His stamina is good enough to contribute throughout most of the match. He maintains his work rate well, although he may lose some intensity during the closing stages of demanding games.
(8.3/10)
Final Verdict
Manu Kone is a balanced box to box midfielder with reliable passing, strong defensive ability and composed ball control. Anticipate improves his defensive presence, while his Medium/High work rates make him dependable off the ball. His main limitations are the 3★ Weak Foot and average shooting, but he remains a solid midfield option, especially as a CDM. Only recommended to use if you packed.
