Andrés Iniesta

[Nrby]

EXPLANATIONS (outdated):

Spoiler: show

Tireless defensive or attacking midfielder, Iniesta has won over 20 caps and scored 4 goals for Spain since making his international debut in 2006. He was part of the Spanish squad at the 2006 FIFA World Cup and made one appearance during the tournament. He played an important role in helping Spain qualify for Euro 2008 after scoring three important goals and providing goal scoring assists for the strikers. He plays club football for Spanish giants Barcelona where he is a first team regular and is popular with the club's supporters. He has produced some impressive form for Barcelona over the last two seasons and has made over 150 appearances for the club since 2002. Iniesta moves the ball around well in the midfield, has a good burst of pace on the ball and provides defence splitting passes for his team mates, he also has a high work rate, good shooting ability and adds a goal scoring threat to the midfield.

CLASSIC SET(S): 2009-2011 & 2004-2006

I think DA could be raised to 90 (+1)

[Dino]

Agree

[Xyder]

Agree too.
And what about to increase his LP? First his LPS is 80, seems a little bit low, his crosses have enough power and can make some airbone passes to the rear of the defence, for the attackers who start a cross between lines with precission and power.
I suggest an 84 (+4) for LPS and 86 (+2) for LPA, closer to Cesc and Xavi but one step down, what do you think?

Agree with the 2 suggestions. He is incredible in dribbling and in passing is so average.

[as_10]

i agree too, its time to update

[Navas]

High acuracy in his passes and tricks, so another agree.

[Markulur]

Updated.

[Ulises]

I think he doesn't deserve *playmaking. This star suit players that get the in the back and give it to the strickers or atacking in good conditions and with eficiency, like fabregas, xavi, or pirlo. I think iniesta is not this kind of player, he is more an atacking midfielder, he also played many times as WF, and this doesn't allow him to be a playmaker. He is more a final passer imo.

I also want to suggest to rise his SPS to 86

[Tavo]

I agree about the SPS, and the playmaking star makes me doubt, I guess he shouldn't have it.

On the other hand, if Iniesta won't have it, and we're saying that Guti sucks as the organizer and creator of the team's fluity and keeping the ball with them, Guti shouldn't have it either.

[Markulur]

The problem is that when Iniesta plays like CM, he plays like playmaker and really good, but when he plays like offensive CM or in the wing, he doesn't organize the team. I'm not sure here.

I also think he does well when he plays as playmaker, it could do because of his high TW IMO, many players do well this labor and we haven't gave them the star. But do you really think that he is the style of player like fabregas or xavi?¿ I found him more like sneijder, a very cooperative player, who can help at playmaking and also be very ofensive. I think we should keep this star only to the pure playmakers.

Agree with perfectio that guti doesn't deserve it neither

[Markulur]

Well, so you have my agree then.

[Navas]

Im only the one that see Iniesta's velocity stats so slow?

Maybe I'm wrong, just a question to Barcelona's fans and people like me that see all matches of this team.

I think he's faster too (and I find that his ACC is more underrated than his TS).

[Ulises]

Yes probably he should be 2 points over sneijder (as i said in sneijder thread) in TS and ACC. I don't find his TS and ACC that high, but he is really quicker on his movments represented here with his high agility, wich i find it could be 1 point higher:

TS: 84 (+1)
ACC: 86 (+1)

(5 agrees, aureliano buendia, pazza interista, navas, as_10, Ulises).

------------------------

SPS: 86
DELETE: *Playmaking

(6 Agrees, aureliano buendia, pazza interista, Mark, as_10, Perfectio, Ulises).

[as_10]

here i agree

[Navas]

My vote for the two suggests up explained.

[Aureliano Buendía]

Me too for both

[Dino]

Agree with everything
