Pros
Surprising Pace for a CDM
Dunga is quick off the mark for a defensive midfielder. His acceleration helps him close down space rapidly, making him effective against fast attackers.

Dribbling & Balance
Exceptional balance and clean ball control allow him to hold possession under pressure. Rare for a CDM, he can maneuver past opponents in tight areas with composure.
Interceptions & Awareness

Reliable Tackling & Duels
Strong defensive stats paired with clean standing tackles make him dependable in midfield battles. He consistently cuts off passing lanes and disrupts buildup play.
Physical Presence & Stamina
He holds his ground well in duels and doesn’t tire easily. With elite stamina (5★), Dunga can press, recover, and re-engage at full intensity until the final whistle.
Skill Moves Advantage
Rare for a CDM, Dunga has 4★ skill moves with Roulette as his assigned move. This makes him versatile in tight spaces and useful for progressing play creatively.
Long Shots & Shooting Threat
While not a consistent scorer, he is capable of hitting powerful strikes from distance with his strong foot when given space.

Powerful Driven Free Kick – Adds a dangerous set-piece option from distance.
Long Passer – Enhances his distribution from deep.
Long Shot Taker – Boosts his shooting ability outside the box.
Cons
Height & Duels: Not very effective in aerial duels or clearances due to his height.

Conclusion
Dunga is a complete defensive midfielder with the rare combination of speed, passing, stamina, and defensive intelligence. His ability to intercept, press, and distribute makes him a perfect anchor in midfield. With 4★ skill moves and special traits, he offers creativity in buildup alongside defensive solidity.
