Fabiano Santacroce

[Rfuna]

[Dan_Trequartista]

He is quicker than this TS 82 ACC 83
Also his technique needs to go up to about 74.

Its early days yet, but I think he could end up being Chiellini's long term defensive partner for the Azzurri. After Cannavaro retires.

[crisfar]

In this case I hope Cannavaro will be an "highlander" and never retires...

[Alex_10]

haha me too! Sadly Santacroce will never be at Cannavaro level.. But he'll be a very good defender!

[Ace]

IMO condition have to go up, he played like every week

[HitMan]

i agree with a speed increase, maybe even TS 83, something that caught my eye was his run with giovinco tonight, he won it, giovinco was "slower" but i think it might have been due to body balance difference, but IMO he deserves to have it as high as giovinco..

[Alex_10]

you're right! but i agree too to bump his TS and Condition

which run are we refering to with Giovinco? The one I'm thinking of was the one to the right corner flag in which case I think it has more to do with ACC rather than TS since it was over a short distance. But definately I think Santacroce won that encounter b'cos of BB rather than overall speed.

[HitMan]

well no matter what encounter were thinking of, we all agree his TS and ACC should be increased so i think jmg can update this, dont think more agrees are required

What are you talking about. Dan suggested 82ts/83acc, you said 83ts, alex agreed to bump speed & Rfuna said he isn't sure if it is TS/ACC or BB....
What do you suggest I update

[HitMan]

when u put it like that nothing

anyway update it TS: 82 ACC:83 if Rfuna agrees since we have 1 suggestion and 2 agrees from me and alex

[Capone]

Agree with TS 82 and ACC 83

Can't say I agree with TS as I haven't seen him run much over long distances, but ACC 83 sounds good.

[jmg721]

I gotta say...I watched him vs. Lazio playing as a defensive RB...and when he had to cover and went full speed...he was at least an 82 IMO. I think Dan's suggestions were good.

IMO this is a really hard player to rate because he has so much potential, but how much has been realized up to this point. I agree with Dan also about his Technique to 74. I feel these suggestions are likely minimums...and won't be surprised to see them even higher in the future.

I think it is good that his Response is higher than his Def. I feel his response is excellent, and can see it being even higher. What he lacks in size he makes up in speed & response

[Rfuna]

updated ATT, TS, ACC, mentality and TW

[jmg721]

Suprised you didn't touch Tech

What did you do to ment & TW?

I upped ment by 2pts and TW by 3pts. I think he deserved an update in those areas seeing as its his 2nd season in serie a and he starts most games. he's got past the sophomore jinx, not many do. Did notice tech.

[Rfuna]

response (intercepting) is bordering world class at the moment. Thoughts on an update?

So I guess I agree...

[Rfuna]

perhaps I should've consulted others, but I have reduced defence by 2pts and upped response. I find his positioning quite worrisome given Napoli play a 3-man defence. But his response is simply astounding given his age and I feel it compensates for his often-questionable off-the-ball positioning. I'd like to up it to 85, but better to be conservative about such stats than to overrate.

Also updated TW and mentality by 1pt. Looking to do a general update within the coming weeks (DS, SA, ST, SPA, LPA, etc.)
