Goals conceded - 6
Tackles - 8/11
Balls won - 19
Balls lost - 4
6 Blocked shots
5 Interceptions
Fantastic in the air, played in back four with Sule, Alaba and Kimmich with Witsel sat in front.
Easily pushes attackers off the ball and great when chasing down the attacker
Played on normal depth and defensive line, only reasons players got in behind was when chasing the game.
Didn't feel clunky or hard to manoeuvre.
Only complaint is that you can't have him play in retro Milan kit.
Heading - Wins crosses and Goal kicks
Strength - easily pushes off players on the ball
Positioning - always in the right spot to pick off the ball or to block shots
Easily links in all teams
You realise your defender is Nesta and you can easily stop attacks
Only complaint is that you can't have him play in retro Milan kit.
I know for a fact that everyone reading this will look at Nesta and decide to skip him simply because of his 36 agility and before I tried him, I was thinking the same. After some thinking I decided to grab him with my icon swaps to give him a go and as of right now, he'll be a guaranteed CB in all of my future teams and that's a fact. I played a 4-2-2-2 with him alongside Joe Gomez at CB and Gomez is a monster just as Nesta is. Nesta's agility is not a problem at all, I have dribbled past mulitple players with him and ended up putting mulitple through passes to either Eriksen or Dybala on the wings.
Agility isn't a problem for him and that's a fact.
I've taken one shot with him on the rebound of a corner and he finessed it into the bottom corner so for shots with Nesta I'm 1/1
Anchor on him is amazing js.
Strong
Fast
Amazing Heading
Not slow in terms of agility
Not Clunky
Reactions
Never tired despite stamina
Long passes are not amazing
Cannot think of anything bad with him after 30 games.
Since I've been playing with FIFA, I didn't have CB icons.
And now, I know it was a big mistake.
When Icon Swaps came into the game, I knew that I will have a good icon.
I started doing the challenges, it was so easy and I could do them very easily.
I used in 4-3-3 attack formation with stay back (of course), with drop back tactic. 70 pace looks slow, but with shadow he's quite fast if your defending tactic is drop back.
His defending is absolutely incredible, he can get the ball back from every angle. As for his PHY, he's strong and the opponents can't steal the ball. Overall, I have a very good CB. (I only change him at TOTS (maybe)) I do recommend him, do him if you can ASAP!
Very good header
Very good jumping
Quite good pace
Perfect defending
Sometimes can't even pass the ball
