How do you play Javi Sánchez?
Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. A pure centre-back: pair them with a quick one if they lack top speed, and use their aerial dominance at set pieces. The game also rewards them with roles like Defender and Ball-playing defender, which reinforce that profile. Technically, they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
What do they do well?
Where they really hurt you is strength (83) and jumping (78). Their strength is very good and it's the trait to build their game around.
Do they have weaknesses?
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
