93 - Icon
4.5
Thou Shall Not Pass
By InvestorLester, 07-11-2018

You are here because


A. You are looking to buy a cheap legend for an SBC


B. You are Intrigued by the crazy defensive stats .


C. You are looking to build the highest rated team in the game.



Well stop looking and start saving . I bought this dude in prep for ICON SET 3 for 650k and by god was I underwhelmed by his in-game ability for the 1st 12 games or so. During this time I paired him with T Silva And Godin in 4 defender formations . Godin was Meh and Silva meant my GK wasnt Top Tier ...


I List 93 Franco F***ing for 699k BIN and no one buys. I still cry tears of joy to this day.


He is now the BEST DESTROYING CDM on 10 chem thanks to Custom Tactics.


My review will be based on his CDM role on my team with some references to his org. postion.

Defending - Baresi is the best pure defender in the game. Whether at CDM or CB

He breaks on literally every pass that isn't perfectly played through . ( 93 Reactions / 95 Interceptions ) and doesn't lose it ( 86 BC & COMP )

His tackling is literally automatic ( 95 Marking / 95/96 Standing&Sliding Tackle )

Aerial , Still haven't concede 1 on 1 . Maybe its the 93 or 80 in all physical stats.


Passing - Pirlo would literally be hard pressed to deliver better from deep.

His 87+ Passing on both stats makes him the best BPD in the game his range is anywhere on the field . ( 72 Vision lets him down on pinpoint accuracy on Long passes


Dribbling - Short = Good Dribbling .

Short + 86 Comp , 86 BC , = God Dribbling



Speed - Just enough at CB is simply not good enough for 700k . At CDM is the perfect amount not flying around overshooting interceptions ( Allan ) and not a step to slow every time ( Saul ) .


Shooting - Not KOSTA but havent scored a goal yet with him .

Baresi the wall...
By kolde, 20-01-2019

Okay i saw that his prime became an sbc and i thought "wow how can this card be sooooo cheap" so i made him and it was probaly the best decision i have made and it probaly saved my weekend league...


This Baresi is like having a wall in your defence he is so good with his tackles that you just have to press circle and he then gets the ball no matter what.


Okay so he is a little small i know but i couldnt really feel it cause his heading is so good and he doesnt have that bad jumping either and if you got the right chem style it is perfect.


The best thing about this card is that his passing is so good that you dont know if its Pirlo or Scholes that made the pass... its that good..

Passing


Everything about his defence


His pace isnt that bad and can be boosted with the right chem style

His height can be a problem

Mini Wall (Franco Baresi)
By sweatygoalssince2003, 24-01-2019

Did his loan as soon as the SBC came out and I was instantly impressed. Now, I've done his full SBC and I don't regret anything. Simply put, Franco Baresi is a MONSTER at CB. Despite standing at 5'9, this man effortlessly chases down and dispossesses attackers. He feels a lot faster than the 75 pace he has with an anchor chem style. Mind that with anchor he has 99 in EVERY DEFENSIVE STAT. Overall, Baresi is definitely worth the price.

  • Pace: surprisingly fast, doesn't get burned by most fast players.
  • Passing: unmatched among CBs, this man can pick out any pass.
  • Defending: automatic tackles and interceptions, can stop any attacker if positioned right.
  • Stamina lasts all game easily.
  • Height: 5'9, nothing else to say.

Baresi the beast
By bardh17, 26-01-2019

mSo you're probably here to see if his sbc is worth or because you ask yourself why a prime icon is so cheap. I did his sbc for around 300k because I had many players in the club already. I convinced myself to do it because: you cant even get normal icons for that price and that a prime icon just cant be So in the first few matches I thought that he was just useless, but after i learned to play with him he's been very good. In my opinion he is just one of the best defenders in the game. I mean you just have to look at his defensive stats. He is the best tackler in FIFA, and the best is, that you can slide tackle everyone (even in your box and from behind) and he will get the ball, without making a foul. People say that his height, strenght and pace aren't good enough. First of all, he has enough pace to keep up with the strikers, because he has this "icon magic" and that pace doesn't matter much in this Fifa. He also is strong enough if you put a sentinel on him. And surprisingly he wins most of the headers for me. I would be useful if you pair him with someone like Varane or Kimpembe who are "strong and fast".

-PASSING

-DEFENCE

-ICON EXTRA-POWER

-You have to know how to play with this type of player, if you don't know you might think he is too small and weak

Baresi es un jugador que posiblemente lo hayas hecho porque tiene mucha media y por sus impresionantes estadísticas defensivas.

En mi caso me costó alrededor de 170k haciendo el SBC, me salió muy barato gracias a los intransferibles y mereció la pena para incluirlo en otro SBC de icono (Rijkaard).

El precio justo sería alrededor de 300k. Sus estadísticas reales serían usado con el estilo de química catalizador:

  • 75 de ritmo aproximadamente
  • 55-60 de tiro
  • 88-90 de pase
  • 70 de regate
  • 90-92 de defensa
  • 78-80 de físico


En mi caso lo utilicé de CDM y no de central gracias a los cambios de formación.

  • Icono de 93 de media
  • Buen CDM
  • Defensivamente muy completo
  • No tiene grandes fallos
  • Muy buen pase (como Pogba)
  • Química fácil
  • No tiene mal regate


  • Sufre si lo pones de CB contra delanteros como Ibrahimovic o Lukaku (176 de altura)
  • Tiro horrible
  • Comprarlo por 500-600k es un timo
  • Mejores jugadores por su precio
  • Poca resistencia (se fatiga muy rápido)
