Manuel Locatelli Winter Wildcards Card Review
Manuel Locatelli is a well-rounded and highly versatile midfielder, capable of playing across CDM, CM, CB, and defensive midfield roles. His standout feature is Anticipate+, making him extremely reliable when cutting passing lanes and winning tackles.
While he lacks elite passing playstyles such as Tiki Taka, Incisive Pass, or Pinged Pass, he does have Long Ball Pass, which suits his role deeper in midfield or close to the defensive line. Combined with strong defensive playstyles, Locatelli excels as a stay-back CDM or box-to-box defensive option.
