Pros
He has surprisingly good pace for a CDM, allowing him to close down attackers quickly and track back in counterattack situations effectively.
His short and long passing are reliable, allowing for smooth transitions from defense to attack.
This is where Mascherano truly shines. He has excellent tackling, interceptions, and aggression, making him an effective shield in front of the backline.
With high stamina, he can last the full 90 minutes without having to sub him off
His decent reactions help him stay one step ahead in defensive scenarios.
The “dives into tackles” trait adds an extra layer of realism and aggression to his challenges.
Cons
Standing at 5’9” (175 cm), his lack of height can be a limitation, especially when dealing with aerial threats or tall, physical strikers. He might lose headers during corners or goal kicks, which can be a slight concern depending on your defensive setup.
Alternatives
Final Verdict
Mascherano is an excellent destroyer-type CDM who brings intensity, aggression, and consistency to the heart of midfield. If you’re looking for a player to break up play, retain possession, and anchor your team defensively, he’s a top-tier choice. However, pairing him with a taller, more aerially dominant midfielder or CB can help balance out his one main weakness. Overall, he's a highly dependable option for most competitive squads.

ES UN JUGADOR MUY BUENO
In VSA, his 4/5 weak foot is struggling me, failing lots of shots, especially first-time and volley ones
Vini is the best LW in the game right now, especially with how fast some of these new RB are. He can be bullied, just like anybody tbh but you cant bully what you cant catch lol just use the speed to when they are aggressive. I have tried numerous and the only one close is Nico 110 card. Diaz is not better all around then Vini and seems to always get caught by defenders.
