Detail Review

pace

For a center-back, Hierro is genuinely quick enough to deal with through balls and execute vital recovery runs. He has the sprint speed necessary to track back and shut down even the most pacey attackers before they get a clear look at the goal.

((8.8/10))

Defending

He is elite in this department. His tackling is clean, well-timed, and effective, whether you’re manually defending or relying on his high-tier AI positioning. The "Dives into Tackles" trait really shows up in-game—he commits well and often wins the ball in situations where other defenders might hesitate. His reactions are sharp, making him quick to respond to loose balls and rebounds.

((9.7/10))

physical

Hierro is physically dominant. He possesses the raw strength to bully attackers off the ball and the presence to hold his ground against heavy target men. His aerial ability is a major standout thanks to the Power Header trait, making him a threat on both offensive and defensive corners.

((9.5/10))

height

Standing at 187cm, he has the ideal frame for a CB. He’s tall enough to dominate the air but maintains a level of agility that keeps him from feeling "clunky" when turning to track runners.

((9.2/10))

Passing

This is where he separates himself from most defenders. Hierro is extremely composed on the ball and can distribute from the back with real precision. With the Long Passer trait and high short passing stats, he can spark a counter-attack instantly.

((9.4/10))

Overall Rating: 9.3/10

Final Verdict

One of the most underrated aspects of this card is his versatility. While he is a natural CB, his technical stats are good enough that he could comfortably shift into a CDM role if needed. He feels incredibly sharp defensively and never seems out of position.
