Kobbie Mainoo vs Blaise Matuidi: stats, PlayStyles, roles and live prices of both EA FC 27 cards side by side.

Verdict

This is a head-to-head between two CDMs who both carry the Holding role: Kobbie Mainoo's 89-rated Future Stars card and Blaise Matuidi's 86-rated Base Hero. Both have Pinged Pass as a PlayStyle+, and both are eligible for Evolutions, so the choice comes down to what each does better in midfield.

Mainoo is the more technical card: 90 DRI and 88 DEF on the face, with dribbling, standing tackle and sliding tackle all at 91, plus Bruiser and Finesse Shot. He can also drop into CAM or CM. Matuidi is the engine: 94 stamina, 91 interceptions, 83 PAC, plus Quick Step, Anticipate and Relentless. I would pick Mainoo to carry the ball and win it back in tight spaces, and Matuidi to cover ground and cut out passes.

Pick Mainoo if you want a ball-playing CDM with higher ratings across the board. Pick Matuidi if you want a tireless runner who reads the game and has more pace.

Mainoo wins 27 of 38 attributes.
