So I had been using this card for 2 months, I did nearly 300 games and he had been great for me!
Pace 7/10 : Yes, Puyol is not the fastest center-back but with the meta of 11 defenders in your camp, He will be great!
Shooting 3/10 : Who cares about that but I put 3/10 because he surprised me in fut champions : he sometimes make a call in the profundity and he scored like 10 goals like this for me. But if you are in 1v1 situation, don’t use the power and just use finesse
Passing : 8/10 : He passing is great, he can do long passes (75) and short passes(78)
Dribbling 7/10 : obviously he is not a tomori or a ramos because he has not a great stat in agility and balance ( 55 and 56) but we don’t feel that in the game because he is small
Defending 10/10 : obviously the best part of that puyol : when he is on the ball, he takes the ball all the times
Physical 9/10 : He is great here. With his 88 in stamina, he can defend 120 minutes in fut champions! His strength and his aggression are very useful because he doesn’t let the opponent alone. Obviously, he will not take all the heads because he is small but he is great also in this with his 89 jumping and his 98 heading accuracy.
So I liked his defending and his physical
His pace is not as a tomori but with a shadow style, he is a little fast
OMFG, THIS MAN IS A F*#KING BEAST. I endured the horrendous icon swap challenges and completed them safely, only to trade them in for this long-haired sexy handsome beast. I play him in a 4-2-2-2 in this squad https://www.futbin.com/20/squad/15557808 next to Juan Jesus's Europa League card and Jesus (No pun intended) do they compliment each other. If you guys are worried about his pace, then oh boy are you wrong. Slap a shadow on him and he'll be fast enough to bump shoulders with Mbappe and send him back to the Ninja Turtles set. With 99 defending (with shadow) and 94 physical all he seriously need to do is just breath and boom, balls yours.
For 9 tokens he's totally worth it, for 500k I personally think there are better options for much cheaper but still, IMO he'll be worth it

Like most people that use this card, I got him on icon swaps. I've played a lot with him and I can say that he is reliable almost all times, but the problem is that he just doesn't seem to have the stats that he has on Defending. Also where that tf is the leader trait.
Pace:I used him with shadow since his pace is very low for the state that the game currently is. Not bad, but don't expect catching mbappe on a counter.
Shooting:Well, he is a center back, so you know it's awful.
Passing:Not that great, so don't try doing anything other than passing it to someone who's not in a great position.
Dribbling:It's depressing trying to move the ball with him, just kick the ball away to avoid this pain.
Defending:Now the main stuff. Since I use him with shadow, he has 99 defending, and on 90% of cases this will be clear, but sometimes he just feels retarded, like not being able to take away the ball of the attacker, instead tackling him and letting him go.
Physical:Very great. Can last the whole game and push away those damn neymars and mbappes from the ball. Could have more jumping though.
If you're willing to buy him, try thinking of any other CB, since you're paying 500k for a player that's not crazy good.

WHERE IS MY LEADERSHIP TRAIT
I needed a center back and was thinking about picking either Puyol or Maldini. Puyol was less tokens and I needed a new center back as soon as possible, I regret this decision more than everything. He is way too small for a centerback and feels incredibly slow. His long jesus hairs make him even more annoying. He can't jump, he can't run, he can't pass the ball, its actually unbelievable. I discarded him in the last weekend league. He was so bad. IF YOU THINK ABOUT BUYING HIM (which i highly doubt) DON'T DO IT!!!!!! Never buy a centerback shorter than 180cm, His 98 defending doesn't make up for his lack of speed or height. Unbelievable.
