88 - Icon
2.0
Not worth the money
By ooofi, 22-01-2018

Unless you want to use him in a Maldini SBC, or unless you are a lifelong fan of the man, I'd not recommend this card.


I played him in a 4321, largely Ligue 1/French hybrid side. He replaced the 76 Le Marchand to sit on the right of Samuel Umtiti and I couldn't tell the difference.


Well, I know that's a bit harsh, but this is an icon and it is Nesta. You'd want this card to be super good, but it isn't. This is a 10k defender masquerading as one of the greats of Italian football.


The problem I found with Nesta, despite the shadow on him, was that he seemed quite slow, both while sprinting and on the turn. He'd inevitably be closest to the attacker, credit to him, but just to position him so he'd attack the ball was a chore. I mainly used him in online seasons and squad battles at legendary difficulty and honestly didn't find a lot of use for the 400+k I paid.

I hate to rain on the parade but some of these icons are just terrible.

Finds himself at the right place at the right time

Slow on the turn.

Seems slower than his rating suggests.

Not icon worthy good.

Too easy

Where do i begin? This is my first review and i have to make this.He is one of the most, if not the most consistent tackler on the game. All i need to say that he is the Gabriel Jesus/Martial stopper. His positioning is unbelievably good and he always wins the ball and creates counter attacks and stops your opponents counter attack. I havent felt any problem with his pace when i use him with an Anchor. So i reccomend...

He is very good for the price

when going for a 400k icon defender you cant really go wrong with nesta.he is absoulutely amazing, i play him next to ramos (the best rare gold defender IMO) and he makes him look like smalling next to ferdinand.his interceptions is what have won me a lot of games and his strenght is absoulutely fantastic...if you want a icon defender but dont have coins for the likes of maldini or fredinand, then buy h...

Overlooked

Arguably one of the best defensive duos in football history, Maldini and Nesta create images of an impenetrable force in the mind. Maldini has been rated as one of the best, if not the best defender in fifa 18, but his defensive partner Nesta has been overlooked by the fifa community. In short Nesta is a great player this years fifa but he does not completely fit the meta of the game. Comi...
