We used Nesta in the 4231 and 41212(2) formations for 50 games (30 WL + 20 Rivals) The result was as expected he was the best defender at the back, we used him along side Marcelo, Eder Militao and Serge Aurier IF at the back and Areolla at goal. We used him with Engine chem style for 10 games banking on his insane defending and physical stats but to no avail so we went with the Anchor chem style for the remaining 40. Off the bat we went with him from SWAT deals because he allows us to go with whoever we can afford at the back, so we went with the "meta" players and he was the best in defense with only 2 red cards compared to Militao who had 5, Aurier had 2 and none for Marcelo. In slow gameplay the only way to stop an attack for me atleast is a crippling tackle.. i wish there was another way but it is how it is. He was better than Militao and surprisingly better than VVD (i had his 14 games loan card) we managed to hit 21 wins in WL and the main reason we went with Nesta was that better WL rewards. Would i spend coins to buy this version of Nesta 100% NO. Overall a decent defender that will be usable till 500 more games of now, meaning that we`ll be looking to upgrade him somewhere around WL 7. But that was the whole point of the experiment and it did pay off as expected. Overall hes better than any up to 150K CB and i`m pretty sure that should not surprise any one.
PPassing and defending awareness is where he shines the most, interceptions with the correct chem style as well. high air ball passes were 90% accurate and that`s a big win in my eyes!
No big shockers here: Balance and Agility, when he gets the ball (if no red card) you do NOT want to dribble with him, just aim a pass to a wide player. He cant really carry the ball out. Reactions also but it might be my connection to the servers its 50/50
