How do you play F. Kessié?
Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Anchor them in front of the centre-backs to screen space, break up play and make the first pass. They're the team's balance. They can also play CM and CB. The game also rewards them with roles like Box crasher and Deep-Lying playmaker, which reinforce that profile. Technically, they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
What are you buying?

Where do they struggle?
