Gareth Barry

[PES Stats Database]

yeah he is realllyyyyy slow. I don't know if he deserves either in 70's.

[REAL_MADRID]

After watching him in most his matches last season I think this set needs some tweaks.

The first is Defence. He has been a key player for City's defence this year. Playing in a defensive/central midfielder role alongside Yaya (CMF), he has been this season the City player who has win more tackles. Take a look at the ladders:

78: Carrick
77: De Jong
76: Lucas, Sandro, Fellaini
75: Tioté, Mikel

He can be in greens without any doubt, I think 75/76 would be Ok for him.

The second point is his BB and Stamina ratio. I think the first is overrated and the second underrated. He is a very strong player, but 85 looks a bit excessive, IMO he could go down in this aspect by 1-2 points. In the other hand I find his Stamina a bit low... he always plays more than 40 matches per season, most of these from starting to the end. He is one of the fittest players in PL and covers a lot of meters every match. He currently sits on 83 for Stamina, that is an average number. Considering players like Lucas (86), Tioté (87), Sandro (85) I dont know why Barry stamina is so low comparing with these players, something like 85-86 would suit him better IMO.

Also Attack could go up 1-2 points IMO.

What do you think about my suggestions?

he and Yaya were vital to the achievement of the championship, according to ls suggestions but also I think deserves more defense Yaya, his 64 is little because I believe that he was unfolded much in the past season

[jurgens]

honestly, I'm more comfortable with him sitting in green for response.. I've never been comfortable with the current and you can see in the past discussions my reasoning for it, he should never have been rated based on statistics. His tw also needs a hike, his movement is very good and when hes not playing... you can really tell city plays so much worse without him

[Vickingo]

Seriously, his speed is incredibly low, sometimes I feel Totti is faster than him...seems kinda 65 or so as well as his acceleration is crap. Sinceraly I don't remember the minute vs Everton but in one ball he showed a really awful acceleration with a good space of advantage to win a ball vs Fellaini? (not sure though) and he lost it cause that. His DS also doesn't seem on greens, just sayin'. About the rest, yeah his teamwork is pretty nice indeed as Rob said could have a little boost.

[blaugrana]

if you buy players like Javi Garcia and have players like Gareth Barry on the midfield in european stage they will probably make 3 and 4 Twilights before something starts to happen. The one responsible for these actions should be thrown out of the club.

And yes, he is slower than Totti.

[jurgens]

What are you talking about? Barry is one of their most important players, he needs yaya though, much like yaya needs him. Garica is just a glorified CB that should only be put on with yaya/barry in the mid to create, as he can't do shit. Mancini put on a line up to lose, pretty obvious hes focusing on prem since that match meant nothing.

[blaugrana]

Well still imo Barry and evidently Garcia isn't enough for european competion, they should have kept De Jong. They still had the chance to qualify for EL yesterday which would have meant more playing time for more players and more experience from european football. Its not like they will evolve by playing solely in the primitive premiership, but Mancini seems more interested in gaining another pl title.

[Basilio]

he was constantly entering the box last match, anomaly ?

[jurgens]

depends, he tends to hang around outside the area a lot in general though

[MaxPower]

He doesn't need nor deserve that value for Jump as of today (77).
I honestly don't think he jumps much higher than Cabaye (73).
I have Barry with Jump 75 in my OF anyway.

[Jez]

Still feels that little bit too mobile in-game for me. Not entirely sure whether it's his Explosive Power or his Dribble Speed (could easily be both), but I could easily see one or the other dropping by a point or two.

[BigStu]

yep I could see a lowering of both

[kuer86]

is there someone with a prime set of him?
