Detail Review
Pace
-
Locatelli isn't a midfielder you use for pure speed, but his movement is good enough for a deep-lying role. He gets into useful positions during transitions and can move forward to support attacks without feeling completely sluggish. However, against very fast midfielders or attackers, he won't be the one winning foot races.
(7.8/10)
Passing
+
This is one of his biggest strengths. His passing feels very reliable for building from the back, while his Bullet Pass playstyle and Long Passer traits make him particularly useful for quick ground passes and switching play.
(9.0/10)
Dribbling
-
Locatelli has good close control for a 6'1" CDM. He's not an ultra-agile midfielder, but he can protect the ball, make simple turns and escape pressure effectively.
(7.5/10)
Shooting
-
His shooting is useful rather than elite. When he joins the attack, he can contribute with shots from outside the box and finish reasonable chances, but he is not someone to rely on as a main goalscoring threat.
(7.7/10)
Defending
+
Locatelli is dependable defensively. His defensive work rate helps him stay involved, while his positioning, interceptions and tackling make him effective at breaking up attacks. However, he isn't quite the defensive monster you'd get from a pure destroyer-type CDM.
(8.6/10)
Physical
+
At 185 cm, Locatelli has a solid midfield frame and can compete well for the ball. He isn't exceptionally strong, though, so stronger midfielders can still have an advantage in physical battles.
(8.1/10)
Stamina
+
His stamina suits a CDM who needs to remain involved throughout the match. He can keep contributing defensively and during transitions, thanks to his 5* stamina.
(9/10)
Positioning
+
One of his best qualities. Locatelli is good at finding useful defensive positions, covering passing lanes and offering himself as an outlet during build-up. His positioning helps make him reliable in front of the defence.
(8.8/10)
Final Verdict
Locatelli is a reliable CDM with excellent passing, positioning and solid defensive ability. His calm movement and stamina make him effective at controlling the midfield throughout the match. However, his pace, shooting and dribbling aren't at the elite level compared to top meta midfielders. Not recommended to get by shards.
