not bad, but usable Xavi Baby 88
Byjohncross19010-01-2022

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.



  • Decently fast
  • AMAZING dribbling
  • Good passes
  • Also seemed good with interceptions, can start counter attacks well
  • Good stamina
  • Can hold up play
  • Shooting could be better
  • Low PHY stats
  • Not really worth his price tag i feel (200k)

Midfield Boss Xavi
I had to find someone next to Kante in 4231. I tried a lot of players like Allan, Bruno Fernandes, Sanches and a lot of other Guys. Because of Kante, who is really defensive, i wanted to play someone who can create good chances but also can help to defend, so i tried Xavi. Btw his baby card looks much better than his mid card. This guy is incredible! His dribbling feels so smooth, you can turn really easy and the ball is ever...
