Player Review
84 - Rare
I bought this card at the start of the game with the mindset of, 'he looks decent, he'll do for now', but wow, I was wrong. He has been remarkable, I've mostly played him with Diego Carlos which has been a great partnership. I would highly recommend, he is very all-rounded for a center-back, if you like to play out from the back, this guy is the perfect option. I will now break down his stats.
Pace:
67 pace is clearly not quite enough for a center-back, however, with an anchor or a shadow, you have plenty. He isn't the quickest, but he really makes up for it with the rest of his stats.
Shooting:
Its not good, but you can't expect a center back to finish everything. Some center-backs are still a threat from set-pieces but this doesn't really apply to Gimenez.
Passing:
Excellent, how this guy has 53 passing I will never know. You can always rely on him to hit the ball forward to your striker with accuracy, it's extremely helpful having defenders with good passing because it reduces the chances of conceding mistakes at the back.
Dribbling:
I mean you don't want to be going past players with your center-backs, otherwise I'm afraid your playing the game wrong. It's okay for a center-back, I guess.
Defending:
OUSTANDING, every tackle, every block, every interception. There's no need to worry about pace because the ball rarely gets into your third if Gimenez has anything to say about it. The best tackler I have used so far by a country mile.
Physicality:
I wouldn't say it's as good as other defenders, however he certainly won't get bullied by strong, tall forwards.
