91 - Icon
I previously owned 89 Laurent Blanc, which is a great card, but Desailly is on another level. I was able to complete the SBC for around 250k since I already had most of what was needed to obtain him. For his price (1-1.1m SBC), you will struggle to find a better defender. He viciously assaults the opposition without getting fouls called on him, has the strength of two men, and is surprisingly a good passer from the back.
The only defender I can compare to him is ToTS Koulibaly from FIFA 17, who is still the most insane defender I have ever used. Eventually, I will test out ToTY Ramos and see how he stacks up against Desailly.
- Surprisingly good passer
- Incredible physicality
- Decent, but not super OP height; his height won't be a noticeable disadvantage
- Perfect defending
- Great composure, decent reactions and ball control
- Consistent play
- High defensive work rate
- Stamina never seems to be an issue
- Not the most accurate at headers, but capable of scoring
