90 - Icon
I'll make it short. I've had a lot of Icons in my defence but none has been as good as Puyol. I've had Prime, Middle and few baby icons, big, small, slow, fast and then there's Puyol. He is no tall man, he isn't fast or agile but I can say he is the defender I have noticed the most i my defence. Holy moly he does an amazing job. His tackling is aggressive but on point, so no stupid CPU tackles which result in a penalty or worse, red card. 1v1 against tall players no problem, his aggression and high jump makes him win headers against Lukaku and others.
What can say, he plays like he did en real life. He intercepts everything near him, reads the pass before your opponent makes it. I can't say how good he is!
Icon used for comparison:
Rijkard 88, Cannavaro, 87/89/92, Sol Campbell 85/87, Hierro 89, Desalliy 87, Nesta 88/90 and Moore 89 and none of them compares to him.

He is what a defender is all about?????sss?tc
?
You have to kick the ball away when he steals it from the opponent or he'll loose it again due to his bad passing and agility (he can't maneuver about in tight spaces).
