Some people kept saying he is unnecessary and mid but the fact is he is better defender, dribbler than SS Tsubasa... one dribble from the mid area you are inside the PA and bypassing entire stand firmers to open a way for Schneider to score. And he will destroy entire Red GKs. He is 50% - 50% score against Zino and Genzo depending on who has the bigger bond/boost in the end. Yes he is not suitable for "Asian" and "Latin" Teams but that doesn't mean he is mid or bad, just pull him if you can boost him a bit (especially European Teams). Also don't dislike the non-Japanese characters that much... They are very fun to play :)
he require some brain for be played ,you havent to use him as a shooter because if he shot once he lose all his stamina,he need a second dribbling 250 or lower stamina when you have easy match up or skill block kick in you use weaker dribbling.His real use is bypass enemy defence and pass to shneider killing the stand firm players.Played properly michael has more value than Roberto as playmaker ,played bad he shot once and you or score or GK catch then he is dead as stamina.
I tried my luck with a rotation (150 Dreamballs), 4 old SSRs including an old DC (Napoleon Junior) ! 😣 I never won a Michael (DC, DF) when it came out or shortly after it came out !!! 😅 I like his Artwork ! 😊
