Worth it?
This is a super cheap card to get into your side, so is totally worth completing, even if just to use in a future SBC.
Everyone should have the fodder required to fulfil the SBC already in their club, so you could see it as a free 87-rated card.
Although he isn't the quickest around, with 84 PAC, that should be plenty good enough for a role in the middle of the park, and can always be boosted with a chemistry style.
His shooting, especially his long shots, are brilliant, so don't be afraid to take a pop with him from distance and on free-kicks.
His passing and dribbling stats are also very good, so he will be able to control the play in central positions.
He has the base stats of an 88-rated card, which can be increased to that of a 93-rated CM if you stick a Powerhouse on him.
An Engine may be the preferred chemistry style, as that will boost, among other stats, his pace, agility and balance, which are all on the lower end of being meta.
