Detail Review
Pace
+
He isn't the fastest player, but he maintains a solid pace that lets him track down most attackers. ((9.4/10))
Passing
-
He is effective with simple passes, but his range is limited, and he struggles with more difficult distribution. ((7.5/10))
Physical
+
His great strength and physicality are key, enabling him to consistently body opponents off the ball and regain possession. ((9.8/10))
Defending
+
He possesses outstanding defensive awareness, demonstrating elite positioning and timing by patiently holding his ground and then aggressively stripping the ball from the advancing attacker. ((9.7/10))
Stamina
+
He has sufficient stamina, but it must be conserved—his performance declines with excessive use. ((9.6/10))
Positioning
His top-notch positioning is highly effective; he stays deep in defence, ready to press and challenge advancing attackers.
Overall Rating: 9.2/10
Final Verdict

In conclusion, many people think Carlos Puyol is trash in-game, but if you really look at videos of him or use him, you would change your mind. He is a great player to use, but can struggle with pace against higher-paced attackers. Other than that, he is good.
