They play a very defensive game whenever they go against a team that is even mildly superior to them. They defend well as a unit, and have two strong defensive ball winning midfielders screening their defence in kondogbia and toulalan. Its a nuisance playing against them, but if you don't over commit, there is little they can do offensively. They have very pacey players on the wings in martial, dirar and carasco who sometimes plays on the wings too.
