Avantages

Extremely strong in shoulder duels and holds his position firmly under pressure.

Anticipates passes, tackles cleanly, and maintains solid positioning in front of the backline.

Can accurately switch play or deliver precise long balls for counterattacks.

Keeps transitions calm with smart short passing and composure under pressure.

Inconvénients

Feels a bit slow when recovering against fast midfielders or in transition.

Slight stiffness in turns and directional changes, especially when facing quick dribblers.

Plays very safe and conservative — lacks the dynamic presence of top-tier CDMs

Struggles under tight pressure due to limited movement options.

Can feel a bit slow to engage in defensive duels or intercept passes in quick PvP matches.

Alternatives

Verdict final

Xhaka is a classic deep-lying defensive midfielder built for tactical control, not speed or flair. His passing, physical dominance, and defensive IQ make him reliable in structured, possession-oriented setups. However, his lack of agility, pace, and attacking threat limit him in meta-heavy, fast-transition playstyles.

Best suited for players who prefer calm, controlled build-up and positional discipline, not ideal for aggressive or pace-focused systems.
