Long story short, I got Xavi Baby 88 from the baby/mid icon pack form swaps. I was glad at first, only to see the horrors it had. 70 finishing? 60 strength? I didn't think he'd do well. But I tried him and he was decent (With a Finisher Chem style btw). I do not suggest playing him at CDM, but rather as a CAM or CM. He can make good passes, dribble really well with my chem style, finisher, and 81 pace isn't that bad.
I ended up playing him most at LCM in 4-1-2-1-2 narrow next to Kimmich/Aouar, i changed my players a lot.
