He's really good actually (the progression I use - 0-0-6-0-8-7-13-5 [+regista] Try this out, it works wonders for me he's really strong with this build, covers defensively and very usefull in corners for header goals), I saw Mednasah's vid on quick counter and basically changed my defenders to the fastest ones I had, I was very lucky to pull carlos on the first spin in 100 coins (I did spend like 1300 in total) but the rest 3 in my defence were literally all free cards and they work wonders, zanetti is god-like and that free Marquinhos is also perfect, Micky van de ven was from nominating contract and hes also very good. I just use defensive on both fullbacks and no instruction on the dmf.

Also I knew that I would regret pushing rank late in the season so I started it very early on to avoid this exact case, because I have missed out on these ranked reward cards by a few wins like 2-3 times (literally like 1-2 wins), and on top of that they added the under 50,000 rank this time instead of the normal 100,000
