92 - Icon

5.0

Crazy good

By tactician2332, 23-12-2019

I chose prime Zanetti for Icon swaps, cuz I knew he is one of the few that is going to stay in the team till the very end. Naturally as he is a RB he will not be noticed in game as much as an icon in the mid field or forward. But now after I have played 241 games with him, I know exactly the potential of this card. Defending is superb, he almost always gets the ball from those pacey wingers, you just need to make the right movement. all stats in defending are great, tackles and interceptions. Physicality is very decent, stamina, and aggresion are high. Jumping is low, but somehow this dude wins most of the headers when the ball is crossed from the GK. Although strength is 82 with Anchor, I don't remember him being pushed from t he ball, probably because most wingers have lower strength stats. Passing.. I can't describe enough how on point his passing is. His passing is better than all players in the team (except Messi). When I cross the ball from RB to my LB he crosses it at the feet of the player. he can also do it with both feet. Pace is not the best, and must be boosted with chem style. Shooting is expectedly awful. Dribbling is excellent for a defender.

Passing is so noticeably good.

Zan The Man

Ok guys so to start off I'm not the best FIFA player, but I do play regularly or whenever I can. I got Zanetti out of Icon Swaps, and this guy is an absolute game-changer. First of all, his defending is insane. Wingers just don't get past this guy. Secondly, a concern about the card that I had before getting him was his awful jumping. Nevertheless, he wins headers consistently and I have noticed zero issues with his heading...

Javier Zanetti

Right-Back workhorse

Like many others, I chose Zanetti as my first pick in the icon swaps and this was the greatest decision of FIFA 20. His stats at face value are impressive but delving into the singular stats you can understand how EA made a mistake including him for such little tokens in the earliest icon swaps, his dribbling and passing stats allow for midfield creativity if wanted and his immaculate defending stats make him the singular m...
