92 - TOTS
I packed him during the PL SBC and all i can say is WOW. I thought he was going to be a iffy because of his height but man was i wrong. This card paired up with Prime Rio is insane. If you could pair him up with someone tall then you wont have any problems in the back line.

Shooting - is iffy but when will Cb's ever shoot the ball
Height- Not a big factor because of his jumping.
I packed him in the guarenteed PL TOTS sbc, and were delighted to pack him. His defensive work is amazing, his positioning absolutely awesome like his interceptions and tackles unless it´s Lukaku or someone with 90 strenght he has the abbility to out muscle them, but most of the time Azpi is quicker and don´t need the strength for tackles. With his ballconrtoll and the dribbling stat you could even play him at CM or CDM, his shooting is weak like expected but can bang a longshot after an corner, because he´s waiting at the corner of the penalty box. His passing is solid like his crosses can open up your counter attacks easily and with accuracy like an CAM
If you got a tall and strong cb you have the perfect combination nearly every op player alongside works, I mainly played him with Prime Rio or Eric Bailly, both pertfect as partners for him. Even cheap players like Antonio Rüdiger or TOTGS Stones are perfect.
-Pace (can keep up with players like Martial or Sterling)
-Tackles( on point, wins 9.5/10)
-Defensive positioning (when he needs to be there,he´s already there for 2-3 seconds)
-Stamina
-Amazing ballcontrol/dribbling and composure for a defender
-Hight (espacially at corners and freekicks)
-Strenght against players with high pysical stats (90 Strenght)
Got untrade version from SBC. Already tried his 86 version and have the same issues. First of all he is too low and lightweight for decent CB. Players like Firmino can easily push him off the ball and he never wins the air. He doesn`t feels like 84 strenghth player and 92 aggression, but he is very good on tackles and interception. He has very good passing/dribling stats and not bad pace - so that`s why I reccomend you to use him as LB/RB with a shadow chem. I had untradable LB Maldini 88in my team who is otherwise very good on CB but not decent LB - so it`s very profitable to switch them on start of the match.I think he is overprised now couse of his league and nation, but there is no better player in PL now (Young and Robertson weaker than Azpilicueta)
