Yo, I packed him untradeable from 7.5 K PACK LIGUE 1 SBC.
And he is good but he has some cons.
Pace with shadow is good, but sometimes not fast enough.
Shooting is meh, anyway he scored 1 long range goal for me.
Passing is ok for a cb
Defending is sick, 50/50 tackles, great interceptions.
Physicality is good but expected better.
Good but not worth the price, if you wanna give him a try do it tho.

he feels weaker than stats show.

When Puyol got his SBC I did it right away, one of my favourite players of all time. And I do not regret it! He is a beast in defense. Yes he lacks pace against Mbappe but who doesnt? If you start falling with him he will most likely intercept the ball or get his body in between the ball and the player to stop them anyway. And he always stops the opponent. You know how sometimes you tackle and the opponent still comes out with the ball? Not with Puyol, he always gets the ball. He also never gets bullied of the ball. Scored some corners for me too, if he gets the head on the ball (sometimes lacks height in offensive box) he will get it on/in goal.
All and all - lacks some pace and agility against the meta players but make up for it with great tackling and interceptions. If you have some defensive skills and don't just rely on pacey CBs like Kimbembe he will be amazing for you. For a cheap (for an icon) price he is defenitely worth it!
Tackling
Intercepting
Strength
Sometimes height in offensive box
Some pace/agility against Mbappe, Fekir etc (But again, all players struggle against those)
I First did the loan version of puyol because i wanted to try him out, and i can tell you that after two games i completed the sbc. I saw people complaning about the pace but i havent noticed it at all, for me he was fast, strong and once he was locked on the attacker it was over. I also think that i didn't notice the pace cause i was using him next to three of the fastest defender in the game, so by playing him next to faster defender i guarante that you won't notice it at all. SO TO ALL THE META KID ITS NOT BECAUSE SOMEONE DOES NOT HAVE 90 PACE THAT HES BAD AT THE GAME.
