Scout report
Michaël Essien is a Base Icon at 88 overall for Ghana, playing as a CDM and also at CM in FC 27 Ultimate Team. His standout trait is a rare mix of PHY 89 and DEF 86, backed by stamina 90 and strength 90, which makes him a physical anchor in midfield.
Use him as a Holding CDM, where Anticipate (PlayStyle+), Jockey and Press Proven help him win the ball back and shut down lanes, with interceptions at 89 and defensive awareness at 87. Relentless suits his stamina 90, and Incisive Pass and short passing 87 let him start attacks. Do not expect set pieces or finishing: free kicks 54, curve 63 and finishing 64 are his weakest attributes.
A strong pick for players who want a physical, high-stamina destroyer who can also distribute, and who do not need him to score or take free kicks.

1,07m für nen icon cdm ok aber die viison 72 ist schon bitter, sieht man im spiel sofort
88 for 1.1m thats honestly a steal for icons imo
1.17m for a 2 point bump from last year? nah
the stamina and strength on him is kinda wild ngl but id still just run a cheap cdm and not bother
1.09 per uno che sta in cdm e basta, mah ahah
