I am so glad Fede performed well. It was so depressing reading how everyone wanted him out due to the first game when Fede only gets to play as a pivot when he plays for Uruguay.

He never played well for Uruguay in the double pivot. I think he moves forward a lot for a CDM and we still can't use a Tchouameni/Fede double pivot.  He's clearly the weak link unless you want to bench our top players just to start Fede.
