Player Review
88 - Normal
NIF Bonucci is an exceptional card, certainly one of the best ball playing center backs in the game. His passing is crisp and accurate, which is helpful if you play a possession-based game or if you like to play long balls from your defense on the counter attack. He has low agility and balance, but he doesn't feel very clumsy and he is comfortable on the ball.
His standing tackles are incredible, and he tends to stay in position because of his work rates. He wins defensive headers, even against tall target men, but he wasn't much of an attacking threat for me from set pieces.
His stamina (73) is acceptable for a CB, especially one with L/H workrates. Even if you go on the occasional dribble with him, he will be completely fine to play the full 90 minutes + extra time without any issues.
Obviously, the only thing Bonucci lacks is a burst of speed to catch up with attackers who have broken through the defensive line. He's not slow, but he struggles to keep up with quicker players. Luckily, his good positioning and precise tackling make this less of a problem.
