Greetings coaches and welcome to the analysis of the Icon version of one of the best defenders in history and legend of AC Milan: Franco Baresi.

Stats Analysis:

Baresi Stats without evolutions

Baresi has very good defensive stats, especially standing out in blocking with 17k, so there is no doubt that Baresi role is shot blocker.

On the other hand, his offensive stats are mediocre, which is to be expected in a defender, therefore you have to be careful when taking the ball in the defensive zone with Baresi.

Recommended positions:

Baresi can only play the CB position, so there is not much to say in this section this time.

Evolution points recommendation:

I will recommend the next distribution of the 16 evolution points that the player has available:

  • 4 Points to Blocking (+900).
  • 2 Points to Tackling (+550).
  • 4 Points to Intercept (+900).
  • 3 Points to Speed (+750).
  • 3 Points to Technique (+750).

Recommended skill moves:

Baresi comes with an S-rank Tackle, A-rank Block, and A-rank Interception.

To complete Baresi skill moves kit, it is mandatory to place a pass and dribble on him to have options to get the ball from the defensive zone.

I also recommend placing S rank blocking and interception, an improvement over the A rank ones that the player brings.

Trait analysis and recommendations:

Baresi traits are the following:

Baresi main S rank trait is mediocre, as the trait decreases the energy consumption in the commands and skill moves executed by the player, which is useful but the decrease is not high, so it does not end up being relevant.

On the other hand, the main A-rank trait is very good, as it increases Baresi stats if he is in a defensive zone.

The traits that I recommend are the following:

Shot Crusher and Block Master, help Baresi to be a better shot blocker which is his main role.

FW Hunter is also very good, since it is very common for Baresi to face rival FW.

It is also highly recommended to place Sublime Intercepting on it, since this trait is one of the best in the game, especially for defenses.

Strengths:

  • Very good defensive stats.
  • Excellent shot blocker.
  • Main trait rank A very good.

Weaknesses:

  • Only 4 stars are available and not 5 stars like the S+ players.
  • S rank main trait, not very relevant.

Conclusion:

In general, Baresi is a good 4-star defender, he has very good defensive stats, especially in blocking, so he will be able to stop many shots from red and green forwards.

But be careful with serving the ball with Baresi due to his poor passing, but you have to remember that Baresi is an Icon player so he will always receive a bonus to his stats in ranked matches.
