Detail Review
Pace
+
His major strength: Acceleration is good, quick bursts of speed and reaches the top speed effortlessly - Sprint speed with the Rapid PS (Lvl.1) enhances his runs on the wings.
Impacts the attack by outrunning the defenders using pace.
((9.1/10))
Dribbling
+
On the ball, Barnes is pretty smooth, turns are quick and ball control is good. Agility is solid, however due to his height - Bit heavy.
Skill moves speed & stun is decent - Making him a bit heavy
1v1 ability & in tight spaces, he is solid - Not for "pure dribbling"
((8.4/10))
Shooting
+
Traditional Winger SP & Wrong WF for a LW do hurt his finishing capabilities
In the box, he is solid - finds the back of the net.
Finesse is decent, sometimes inconsistent.
Power shots are decent as well, either a hit or a miss
((7.8/10))
Positioning
+
Joins the attack regularly, moves forward to make runs into offensive positions.
Solid areas for the attack to contribute & create chances.
((8.2/10))
Passing
+
Short passes, long passes are both decent, somewhat on point - Impacting the offense creating chances.
Through balls are solid as well, finding teammates.
Crossing is good, for a LW with Left strong foot - Accurate.
((8.4/10))
Physical
+
Pretty strong & tall for a winger - increasing on the ball balance & holds off defenders quite well in duels.
However, this impacts his dribbling ability
((8.2/10))
Stamina
+
Solid durability - Delivers the pace and performance for a majority of the game (around 75 Mins).
However stamina depletion leads to significant performance drop - agility and pace decrease.
((8.1/10))
Weak Foot
-
Wrong weakfoot for a LW, combined with wrong skill points create a major con for Barnes - His shooting & finishing are affected negatively due to inconsistencies.
((7.9/10))
Final Verdict
John Barnes is made for using his pace, to outrun the defenders then create chances & score. His dribbling is solid, like his passing which help him impact the attack. Weak foot and shooting inconsistencies are major setbacks. With better options available, he is not recommended to claim from shards.
