Naby Keita is a Guinean footballer described as a dynamic, box-to-box central midfielder and a more offensive version of N’Golo Kanté. In FIFA titles, he has been praised for years due to his well-rounded stats, making him one of the essential pieces to building an affordable Liverpool or Premier League squad.
This “natural 360° radar” could do everything you demand. Specifically, Keita is more of the same as Modric or Bruno than playing like McTominay or Kante with his terrific attributes for an attacking midfielder. With 90 Acceleration, 93 Agility, 95 Balance, and 91 Ball Control, he has the same playing tendency as his counterpart in Chelsea, Mateo Kovacic, plays, rushing the ball from the center circle straightforwardly the penalty area. His Traits, Technical Dribbler and Flair also support this. So, on a beautiful day, this Guinean could become Messi in your midfield.
Defending contribution from Keita is not trivial. Don’t let 79 Defending fool you; with 92 Interceptions and 82 Pace, this player is always ready to retrieve the ball possession from his opponents whenever they are negligent, which could open a 2vs2 or 3vs3 attacking opportunity.
However, with this mostly impeccable attribute set, the problem lies in his Physicality. With only 82 Stamina and 66 Strength for a CM, a substitution for this guy is a must because after 70 minutes he is relatively harmless. Then, with him being only 5’8″ and 64kg, you know that he doesn’t stand any chance at a 1vs1 duel, regardless of aerial or ground. Furthermore, his 77 Shooting seems pretty unstable, although he has Long Shot Taker’s trait for himself. With only 68 Curve, please don’t waste your time with his long finesse shot.
In conclusion, this Naby Keita Showdown is a good investment for anyone who is looking for a Premier League’s CM, not to mention that he is likely to receive a boost if Liverpool manages to get at least a point at the match versus Chelsea. However, I think this Guinean is better to play alongside a midfielder with an excellent Physicality stat, such as Pogba or Viera, which allows him to perform his best essence.
