Broken Barnes

By ColinVdv, 03-02-2020

So I was desperate for a good solid striker and I bought Barnes with low expectations, I could not have been any more wong. I played him as a striker with mid george best, bernardo silva, and adama traore behind him. He feels like R9 in disguise. My first 10 games with him were in WL, all rage quits before halftime.

The man scored 97 goals and gave 43 assists in 57 games (all rivals and fut champs)

Its the most broken card I have used all year.

When it comes to the pros of this card its quite simple, EVERYTHING is a pro. his shooting with either foot is perfect inside the box (feels like 5* weak foot).

His longshots with his left foot from the edge of the box are going in more often than not as well.

Barnes' passing is an extremely useful thing to have in a striker as well, and is pinpoint accurate.

His dribbling is surprisingly good and even with that 77 balance he felt really smooth on the ball, I hated Cristiano because of his low balance, but it doesn't affect barnes at all.

When it comes to the pace, even without boosting Barnesinho, he still ran past centre backs and fullbacks like they weren't even there.

Last but not least is his physicality, this is what makes him so deadly in the box. He can shield people off very easily, then you just to a fake shot on his left foot and you finesse it into the top corner.

Defending isn't an important stat on a striker in my opinion, however, I have to add that he did intercept a decent bit of balls which resulted in scoring opportunities and goals.

NONE! NADA!

Extremely Underrated Card

I'll start by saying I used Barnes in a lot of positions, but mainly as an LF, RM, Right ST, and RAM. All Games with a Sniper Chemistry Style.When FIFA 20's new icons were announced, Barnes' Prime was the one I was most excited for. Pace, Dribbling, Shooting, Physicality. He had it all. I finally last week had enough coins to spare to risk buying and trying Barnes' Prime. I've used his 87 for a good while...
