Player Review
86 - IF
His two major shortfalls are obvious - weak foot and strength. While others may say that these aren't a big deal, it was a dealbreaker for me and I ultimately had to sell this card. Missing a couple of passes with his weaker foot can cost you every few games. But his lack of strength was causing me to lose goals in multiple games. He needs to be positioned perfectly to win the ball - if he isn't, he will be shoved away and there is nothing he can do. His strength simply makes him unusable and it will lose you goals. I had to sell him and buy 85 Carvajal as a temporary solution (same chemistry links). This worked better. Carvajal doesn't have the amazing dribbling or passing that navas has but when you are doing simple driven passes most of the time as I do with my fullbacks in a 4 at the back, then you don't really need that. You need people who can win the ball back when there are fast left-wingers running at you. As the game advances and wingers are getting stat boosts in physicality, navas becomes more and more of a liability. Do not recommend.
- Dribbling ability
- Passing (only when using right foot)
- Speed / Stamina
- Positioning
- Weakness costs goals
- 2* WF means he will screw up passes often when he uses that foot
- Small so wont win headers
