92 - TOTS Obj
4.5
Italian Stallion
By kayrovskyreviews, 24-05-2021

Welcome to another review ! I hope all are doing well during these tough Covid days


(Used as CM next to TOTS CR7, PIM Essien, TOTS Nkunku in a 4-3-2-1 formation. 30 games | 4 goals | 8 assists)


I believe this card is one of those hidden gem's that you need to actually try and test to get the "feel" for the card. However, I will try my best to describe my experience so far. Barella is very versatile, literally he runs back and forth the pitch tackling the ball opponent's balls as CDM and occasionally attacking as a CAM. He most of the time doesn't overcommit to attacking as much as his commitment to defensive support, but when he does, oh boy does he get in position well. His dribbling on the ball is great, he feels smoother than many midfielders I enjoy using (PIM Essien, Nkunku TOTS, Thomas Muller TOTS, De Bruyne TOTS) and feels on par with TOTS Kimmich. His short passing is great, I don't think it could have been any better for a free card. Long passes can sometimes be intercepted easily due to the lack of high curve stats though.


All in all, Barella is great card for value that will replace TOTS Muller for me (I think the Raumdeuter is one of the greatest midfielders to grace the pitch) but Fifa's mechanics dictates otherwise..

This is a very worth it objective even if you do it for fodder. Could be hard to link but on 8 chemistry he is still good. Used him as a holding midfielder for about 10 games and he was very solid defensively however going forward wasn't the best. Lack of skills meant he is poor going forward and his shooting is not ideal. However pace was very good and dribbling felt quite smooth. Passing was good and weak foot was reliable. Agility felt low at times and physical was average. Wouldn't recommend as a box to box as shooting is too low and bad workrates

Barella the "Supportive midfielder"
By Penaldo79, 23-05-2021

Barella is a good card. The best position is CM for this card as it will always back up the defense. In order to get the most out of him you will have to get a proper CDM. This card is very very good when you are trying to play defensive. He will not be a big difference in aata k however he can blast shots very well from inside the box. Tried to do finesse and he was very good. He is fast and track back and wins the ball 8/10 times on 1v1 battles.



Pace is very decent

Able to support the midfield

Will always be there when you need him

Feels like a midfielder

Good nation

Agility is good



Not a very good attacking player

Doesn't have a unique style of play

Very average in the pitch with boosted attributes

Nothing unique
