87 - Icon
Being a big Liverpool fan I was excited to see Barnes added to the game this year and was even more happy with his game changing contribution to my forward line...
This guy fits the meta perfectly with his pace shooting and slick dribbling in game.. but what gives him that special "icon feel" are his physical attributes, At 6ft tall with a Hulk like body shape, if defenders do catch you up they just bounce off.
I paid 600k for this beast and honestly cant see him leaving my team before TOTY. If you're reading this because you're considering buying, do it... Up until this point I'd been using Eden Hazard and Barnes is another level entirely!
Physical - 10/10 Think a LW Cristiano Ronaldo
Dribbling - 9/10 Fast and light on the ball (gets a 9 here due to lack of 5* skills)
Shooting - 10/10 Finishes well from in and outside the box
Passing - 8/10 short passes have the perfect weight, long passing i can't comment on... LF's don't play many long passes
Pace -9/10 Not quite mbappe, but use the right stick dribbling and you're not getting caught
Doesn't have an afro on his in game face like the card
Lack of 5* skills (but you cant have everything for this price)
