Detail Review

Pace

He is not the quickest fullback, but the Wingback skill point makes a big difference, especially by boosting his acceleration. This helps him recover back comfortably during counters, blocking wingers before they get into dangerous areas.

(9.4/10)

Defending

His tackles are very accurate and clean, often winning possession without unnecessary fouls. Marking feels solid, allowing him to stay tight to wingers. His defensive awareness is top notch, which makes him perform crucial interceptions.

(9.8/10)

Physical

His physicality is excellent for a fullback. He has immense raw strength, making him very effective in shoulder-to-shoulder duels, pushing off forwards & wingers with ease.

(9.5/10)

Aerial Ability

He is not among the tallest fullbacks, so there can be moments where he feels slightly disadvantaged in aerial duels. However, his height is still manageable enough to deal with most defensive crosses.

(8.9/10)

Passing

His short passing is great for smooth build-up play, and he keeps possession very well from the back. His crossing is excellent. He delivers pin-point crosses from both feet, which is extremely rare for a fullback. Thanks to his 5* weak foot, crossing from either side feels equally reliable.

(9.7/10)

Stamina

He has good stamina, which allows him to perform consistently for the full 90 minutes. He doesn’t show a major performance drop late in the game.

(9.4/10)

Dribbling

He has got 4* skill moves, which helps him to escape tight spaces when pressed aggressively.

(8.5/10)

Overall Rating: 9.3/10

Final Verdict

Gianluca Zambrotta is a complete and highly reliable defensive fullback with great recovery pace, excellent defending, and elite physicality. His 5* weak foot makes him especially unique, allowing dangerous crosses from both sides. His all-round qualities make him one of the best defensive choices in-game, for both RB and LB positions.
