Detail Review

Pace

His pace is top class for a CB. His recovery speed is excellent, allowing him to drag back quickly and chase down attackers during dangerous counter attacks. He feels much quicker than many traditional CBs and can comfortably cover defensive mistakes with his recovery runs.

(9.5/10)

Defending

His standing tackles are simply goated, often winning possession cleanly without giving away unnecessary fouls. The Anticipate playstyle takes his defending to another level, increasing his accuracy in dispossessing attackers. His marking is extremely tight, while his defensive awareness allows him to produce elite interceptions throughout the game.

(10/10)

Physical

His raw strength is very good and helps him compete strongly in physical duels. He can comfortably push attackers off the ball and win possession. However, due to his shorter height compared to many meta centre backs, there are occasions where bigger and stronger forwards can trouble him physically in certain situations.

(9.5/10)

Aerial Ability

His height feels noticeably short, compared to modern meta centre backs. Because of this, he can sometimes struggle against tall strikers during aerial battles and defensive crosses. Thankfully, the Precision Header playstyle helps him perform better than expected by improving his effectiveness when contesting headers, and during attacking corners as well.

(8/10)

Positioning

His Positioning is outstanding. Defensive awareness is top tier, allowing him to maintain the defensive line effectively and react quickly to dangerous situations. He reads the game extremely well and is often in the perfect position to stop attacks before they become serious threats.

(9.9/10)

Passing

His Passing is very good for a centre back. His short passing is reliable for build-up play, while longer passes are accurate enough. He feels comfortable on the ball and contributes positively during possession phases.

(9.6/10)

Stamina

With 4.5* stamina, consistency is never a major concern. He comfortably maintains a high level of performance throughout the match and rarely shows signs of fatigue. For a centre back, his stamina is more than sufficient to last the full 90 minutes.

(9.7/10)

Overall Rating: 9.5/10

Final Verdict

120 TWG Carles Puyol is a defensive monster with elite tackling, exceptional positioning, top-tier recovery pace, and outstanding defensive awareness. His only real drawback is his lack of height, which can occasionally cause problems in aerial battles. Despite that, he remains a top centre back option, and one of the best ground defenders in the game currently.
