85 - TOTGS

4.0

Surprisingly solid

By f1tch07, 08-02-2021

After doing the Bruno G SBC I needed a centre back who would get a strong link to cannavaro/my keeper for chem reasons, my coin budget was near to non existent and after vaguely remembering this guy being ok from a draft i decided to pay the 20k coins to bring him in, it was a bargain. Whilst not being quick by any stretch, Acerbi feels nowhere near sluggish and his 6'4 frame means he can tackle/block from slightly further away than shorter defenders, paired with an otherwise quick back line, his pace wasn't an issue even up against the very paciest attacks.

Where this card really excels is his defending and physicality, he wins absolutely everything and his height means he can stretch to rescue you with his blocking and last ditch tackling. He's obviously nowhere near meta, but for 20k and cheap useable italian centre backs being hard to come by, he's an excellent option for the price.

Francesco Acerbi

Absolute wall

Packed this man in a Starter SBC pack, untradeable. Managed to build a defense around him and now it feels like a wall in front of my keeper. His defensive stats are already pretty good for a 85 CB, plus his 89 strength and great Physicality. You´re probably afraid of his pace, but it´s fine. Give him a shadow and he´s basically Franco Baresi. 96 defense and a decent 75 pace, beside a quick CB you´re most likely never c...
