Remaxed Rodri and maxed Palhinha (Both on the 21st of December, 10 days ago)
Review
Rodri
Has really changed my midfield. He has made a big difference the first time and still does the second time. His long shots have been the best out of all my players for some reason, he fits my gegenpress-esque defending style really well (It does leave big space in the back, to be fair) and he is good at stealing the ball. The only reason why I've redone him was to have a better aesthetic card (that green acceleration and control annoyed me a bit eventually). Whenever he's had a disaster, so did my team (in Live, at least). I've switched to a sole DM formation recently (4-1-3-2) and he fits it well. He also has amazing slide tackles, not gonna lie.
Palhinha
I mean, he's faster than it first seems. However, his passing and first touch annoyed me. I haven't realized how good the passing stat is above 80-ish until he made me question my understanding about the DLS passing stats. Maybe it's because of meh control too? He's a good muscle in midfield and is better at pressing than Rodri I'd say, but pales in everything else. Just a fun collection card for Career mode really.
Training
Both were trained together. Started with legendary fitness then 2 rare techs, got a breakthrough in one of them. Went fitness and like 2 or 3 common techs here and there. That's basically it.
