M'Vila's stats are awesome, maybe they could be better but he hasn't moved to a bigger club so that might be it, he's had very little injuries (about 2 months total) and he's at 4 stars right now, "isn't likely to improve".
By "start of the game" do you mean like when you start a new save? Or his stats from the start? These are his stats:

and yeah Fernando's goals and assists stats are miserable. If you're looking for support Sissoko's the man for you
mmm, so M'vila didn't reach his full potential. M'vila is a great DMC but I think Sandro is what I need, he's a tall and has pretty good aerial ability, his pass is OK and his defensive abilities are great.
And I don't need a support role, just someone with good stamina, marking, tackling, work rate, and with good mental stats. Sandro has it all! And he has good technical attributes! He's perfect.
And I meant a screenshot at the start of a new save, I wanted to know if he has direct impact, but never mind.
I think he'll be a good partner for Paulo Henrique

I think this will be my future team:
De Gea
Rafael---Jones---Sakho---Bale
---Sandro---Ganso---
Willian---Gotze---Neymar or Hazard, not sure yet.
------Chicharito------
