Nemanja Matic v Fernandinho
Nemanja Matic
Positioning
8
Very good positional sense, which is needed as he lacks mobility.
Passing
8
A very good passer of the ball, though he is not passing it as well as normal so far this season.
Cynicism
8
Willing to take the card when needed, but it is not his first thought, he will use cynicism when needed.
Shooting
8
Has a great shot on him but he very rarely gets forward far enough to get within range to use it.
Movement
7
Lacks mobility and tends to just sit rather than looking to move to receive the ball.
Nemanja Matic
Fernandinho
Positioning
8
He has a real talent for being in the right place to break up a move, no matter what he has to do.
Passing
8
An excellent passer of the ball, particularly good at moving the ball on quickly.
Cynicism
10
He will do whatever it takes to break up play. He is extremely cynical and is very happy to 'take one for the team' so to speak.
Shooting
7
While he does not get to show it often any more, when he arrived at Man City he was known for being a goalscoring box-to-box midfielder with a very good shot on him.
Movement
8
Has excellent movement, though he does not tend to get to use it as much as he used to.
