Who Can? Cannavaro Can!

By Jesslopy, 15-01-2020

I’d like to start by saying that this Cannavaro is easily the best CB I’ve used this year and he’s certainly a contender for the best CB I’ve ever used. On and Off of the ball this card is intelligent. His tackling is great, his passing is great, his positioning is great. Cannavaro brought to the table two things that made him play like a beast. 1)He has fantastic defensive positioning and 2)He always seems to make the clutch tackle when you need him to.

Overall this Cannavaro is a must have in any team. Even if he was 2 mil I would say he’s absolutely worth it.

Defending (10 / 10): He is absolutely brilliant when it comes to everything defending. He is always in position, he is always marking the right man, he never strays out of position giving your opponent an easy way to dribble in on goal, and most importantly he always makes the tackle. With high agility and decent pace he tracks down his man well and comes in for the tackle like a bolt of lightning. Cannavaro always makes the clutch tackle, If your opponent is about to take a shot you can be sure Cannavaro has something to say about it. Most importantly Cannavaro does not concede fouls, because his defending is world class and because he never puts himself in a position where he needs to tactically foul.

Pace (9 / 10): Not surprisingly Cannavaro feels peppy, rapid, and agile on and off of the ball. I never found him struggling to get back and he certainly was never burnt for pace. His speed lets him get into tackles much quicker than bigger CB’s meaning he is quicker to make the tackle and tends to shut down opponents who try to dribble around clumsy defenders.

Dribbling (7 / 10): to be expected his dribbling is adequate. When he makes tackles he maintains possession which is crucial if your trying to get on a quick counter. His agility and balance make him a game changer as a defender. Although he isn’t tall he makes up for in the fact that he gets everywhere faster. If he misses a tackle he is back into position immediately.

Passing (7 / 10): no troubles in terms of passing. He plays out of the back quickly and effectively. If your looking to counter attack he’s a gem because when he wins possessions he’s immediately ready to play a quick ball.

Physical (8 / 10): Although Cannavaro might be short at 5’9” he makes up for it with great jumping. He wins a surprising amount of headers for his height. He is also solid on the ball, he won’t be pushed over or knocked off balance during tackles.

Shooting (5 / 10): honestly he’s no Koeman, but he can take the occasional decent strike. His shooting is not great but rightfully so as a CB.

Height: he’s short but he won't let the average striker win a header off of him. Pair him with a tall CB like Van Dijk and you have yourself an unbeatable defense.

very good actually

So i was looking forward to get a cb in my team doing the back with vvd. At first I really wanted to get Eder Militao live card, but it was a little bit expensive. So I looked at the options available, and was really between Cannavaro middle card, or baby Campbell. At first I decided to go for Campbell, a big mistake. Only 10 games played, it is surprisingly slow, and also is always out...

WHAT. A. DEFENDER.

This Cannavaro is ONE of the best defenders i have ever played with in FIFA 20. His baby is a bit more expensive because it has got more pace but his medium card is much better in defensive facts.He is always in the right position, he always does the tackles perfect and in the right moment. Very difficult to overpass, he can defend Neymar or Mbappé without any problem. Put a shadow on him and he will b...

Do not waste coins in this stage of the game

This review is based on 24 games played with him in champs so i think i made a good opinion on him. You can say he saved me a few times but it is more safe to say i conceded many times because of him. There are two things very wrong with him that in this stage of the game where many tots have 90 plus pace and a lot of strenght making him simply unusable. He is slow, weak and many times you will be watching the attackers pas...
