Emmanuel Petit Player Review
Pros
Rock solid defensive midfielder
Petit is an absolutely dominant CDM with world-class defending. His tackling, interceptions, and overall defensive awareness make him a nightmare for opponents.
Strong physical profile
At 6'1", he has excellent height and brilliant strength, making him very reliable in duels and aerial battles. His physicality ensures he holds the midfield with authority.
Reliable shooting with strong foot
While not his primary role, his strong foot finishing and long shots are surprisingly effective. With the Long Shot Taker trait, he can score powerful goals from distance.
Key defensive traits
Traits like Dives Into Tackles give him an extra edge defensively, helping him win balls cleanly and consistently.
Great passing ability
His short and long passing are very strong, allowing him to dictate play from deep and contribute effectively to build-up attacks.
High work rate and stamina
With a high/high work rate and no stamina issues, Petit covers the entire pitch. He can contribute defensively while still supporting attacking moves when needed.
Versatility
Thanks to new special skill points, he can also play as a LB without any OVR drop. His height, stamina, and work rate make him excellent in that position as well.
Cons
Weak foot and skill moves
With only a 3-star weak foot and 3-star skill moves, Petit is limited in attacking situations. While not a big issue for a CDM, it makes him less versatile offensively.
Conclusion
Emmanuel Petit is a rock solid CDM and one of the best defensive midfielders available. His physicality, defensive dominance, stamina, and versatility make him elite, and while his weak foot and skill moves are limited, they hardly affect his role as a defensive powerhouse.
Rating 9.9/10
