Detail Review

Pace

His pace is exceptional for a centre-back. He tracks runs very well and can recover quickly if the defensive line is broken. Against fast strikers, he keeps up comfortably and closes space efficiently. This makes him perfect for high defensive lines or aggressive defending playstyles.

(9.5/10)

Defending

Even though the stats may not look the highest, his in-game defending feels top quality. Tackles are very clean and he wins the ball without many fouls. His reactions and defensive awareness make his clearances outstanding, especially in dangerous box situations. Interceptions feel automatic due to good positioning.

(9.5/10)

Physical

Physical strength is good enough to handle most attackers. He performs well in shoulder-to-shoulder duels and doesn’t get bullied easily. He can push attackers off the ball and regain possession cleanly. Not the strongest CB in the game, but very reliable physically.

(9.1/10)

Height

At 183 cm, his height is slightly below the meta for centre-backs. He can occasionally lose aerial duels against tall strikers, which may lead to conceding goals. However, his jumping and positioning help compensate for it most of the time. The height is a disadvantage, but still manageable in gameplay.

(8.9/10)

Overall Rating: 9.3/10

Final Verdict

Final Verdict In conclusion, Marquinhos is a top-tier option, especially as a cover CB thanks to his pace, defending, and solid physical presence. His tackling and defensive reactions make him very reliable in crucial moments. Height can occasionally be a weakness in aerial battles, but it’s manageable with good positioning. Overall, a very strong defensive card.
