Player Review
88 - Icon
As a Milan and Italy fan, my feeling was complicated when I pulled this legend out from my basic icon pack. I absolutely love his game IRL but sadly in this game Nesta is not that usable coz pace and agility (36 agility is just disrespectful). When I rebuild my defense line and wait for selling varane and VVD for the coins to buy base Fabio, I decided to give Nesta a go with Artist chem aside with Marquinhos. He is performing far higher than my expectation. I'm using Artist but he still has the acceleration close to VVD with Shadow and his agility is becoming acceptable (same as Koulibaly) With cautious interception on manual, he can be a real defensive anchor. His reaction is god tier and his positioning is just on point. He does need a pacey CB and FBs to help him slow down the opponent on fast counterstrike but tbf you shouldn't let that happen a lot with good defense habit. One additional benefit from Artist is that he has comparable long pass ability to VVD and Marquinhos and enough dribbling against pressure. I'm only a Div 2 player so my skill is limited but this guy really gives me some surprise as not only a nostalgia but an actual usable asset.
