92 - Icon

4.5

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 most value for money defender on the game. In previous games, jumping was always necessary for a defender to excel in however this year's meta is perfect for Zanetti, a tricky defender capable as an attacking threat as well as able to stop even the most agile and rapid attackers.

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...

Crazy good

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 ...
