90 - Icon
O captain my captain. I honestly only bought this guy because he is my idol. From the header at the Bernabeu to letting Eric Abidal lift the Champions League in 2011, how can you not love this guy? I first tried his prime card and honestly didn't like it at all, he just felt very weak for some reason. I then bought this one and man o man is it better. With this card you have more physicality and pace than his prime card with only -1 defending but with an anchor chem style he gets boosted to 99 interceptions, heading accuracy, marking, stand tackle and slide tackle! He also gets 98 jumping, 97 strength and 99 aggression. Defensively he is perfect and never puts a foot wrong. He has a tendency to stay back at corners but when he gets forward fro them he is a huge presence and not even Ramos can stop him! You might think that he is too short at 178cm but his jumping is so good you honestly will not notice. The biggest issue I have with Puyol is that he is poor on the ball which is annoying because he came through Barcelona's youth academy, played under Pep Guardiola at Barca's peak and played for peak tiki taka Spain.
