Franco Baresi

Franco Baresi (Icon) The ultimate defensive wall—his 94 standing tackle and 94 interceptions make him an absolute beast at reading the game, snuffing out threats before they even materialize. With 86 aggression, he rides tackles like a pro, and his 75 short passing can quickly initiate counter-attacks from the back. At 176cm, his height isn’t ideal for aerial duels, and he can get bullied by taller forwards, especially in physical battles. While his 73 pace is decent, don’t expect him to keep up with the likes of Mbappe or Neymar in a foot race—his controlled acceleration means he can lag behind against elite attackers. However, with 93 reactions and solid composure, he rarely panics under pressure, making him a reliable, if not elite, choice for your backline.
