FIFA 21 Carles Puyol Icon - Stats

This Carles Puyol Icon is the Prime Moments version, which means it boasts higher stats than previous Icons. You can see that reflected in his near-perfect defensive stats: 97 Interceptions, 94 Heading Accuracy, 95 Defensive Awareness, 96 Standing Tackler, and 95 Sliding Tackler.

Despite this, Puyol has some technical issues, with poor Ball Control (67), and relatively slow pace as its biggest weaknesses, meaning he's far from the ideal CB to try a passing style of play.
