Puyolcito Papaaa

By Mimzinho, 21-12-2020

This man is one of the best CBs I have used this year. He may not be as fast as TOTW Walker, or Joe Gomez, but his extraordinary defensive positioning and crunching tackles make up for it. When I first pulled this beast of a man, I thought it was terrible, till I actually looked a little harder at the stats. One specific icon I noticed he was very similar to was baby Vidic. I would say most of the community would have considered Vidic a W, especially since it was the first icon SBC released, and most people would also consider Puyol a massive L. However, the stats of these cards are extremely similar, and I would argue Puyol might have a slight edge over him. I would recommend playing him alongside a pacey cb with maybe less defending like the new Adama card or Walker

Honest review

I Can't be the only one who thought of using him as a CB right!So for me it was between him and baby Petit.

An AMAZING CB

I have played about 10 games with him in high Div 3 and Low Div 2. I was looking for a CB that could hold it down in the back, but I also wanted someone different to play with. I saw this card for only 300k, and thought it would make a decent CB (especially since his other two cards are CBs). I play him off chem on 7 with a shadow, and he is SOLID. His step ins are amazing and h...
