86 - IF
4.5
One of the best
By Battul, 06-10-2021

After looking at the competing right backs in the league, I had to try him. Need I say he's possibly one of the best right backs I have used (Non-Icon).

36 years old and still killing it in real life and on FIFA.


The meta this year has changed a lot, and where Jesús Navas lacks the physicality of some other high rated right backs, he certainly makes up for it in all the other areas.

The counters he can create from stealing the ball is ridiculous, packed with his vision for those long balls to your attackers is vital on this card.

  • Pace! His 92 acceleration, when in position, allows him to keep up with those sneaky attackers such as Raheem Sterling & Marcus Rashford.
  • Passing - I don't need to explain, just try this card yourself, he zips the ball forward with no issues whatsoever - his 88 crossing is also insane.
  • Dribbling out from the back is brilliant, paired with his 4* Skill Moves, if you feel cheeky enough to take on those attackers in your own half.
  • Defensively he's also one of the best, this guy will cut everything out, he feels like a FIFA 21 Kante, sickening.
  • Stamina will run your opposition wild with this card, who cares about those 80th minute substitutes? Jesús will handle that with 89 stamina.

Honestly not many hidden cons with this card for the price

  • Finishing? Unless you're planning on playing him with high tactics, you won't be shooting with him.
  • Strength, he can get pushed off very easily by meaty attackers, so maybe don't try get in a 1 on 1 tussle with Haaland and you'll be fine.
  • Possibly jumping, but you won't notice this at all unless you're playing somebody who lofts the ball to the left side a lot
  • 2* Weak Foot can sometimes land you in tricky situations if not handles correctly

Strength stat makes him unusable for me
By VerrattiEnjoyer, 21-12-2021

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
