Andrés Iniesta, Vissel Kobe

[vinnie]

CLASSIC SET(S): 2011-2013 & 2009-2011 & 2004-2006

[L10Messi]

Minute 0.03,another great pass

[furymaker]

he's back to his best , he was shredding defenses with amazing passes and he ran at them all night long , great performance , cant wait a game against City

[jurgens]

So to recap what we've talked about in the past..

87 attack
96 spa
93 sps?
wfa 8

Any problems?

[JIN726]

his form is not so good.5 for me

[Korinov]

I'd rather go with 92 SPS... just aesthetic, but it's the value we had more or less agreed upon.

Form 6 is ok. As I said before, he's back to his inconsistency but it's not as bad as Xavi's case.

Updating.

[blaugrana]

I kind of think konamis choice of giving him 90 ATT is actually deserving. I really see two different kind of approaches in his game. There is the more quiet Iniesta who chooses to dictate the game and just make the easy pass, then there is Iniesta on monster mode, attacking and tearing apart defence, like today vs City or the other day vs Italy. Thats when he really is 90 ATT.

[FaLcoN!]

What a performance against Atletico. Such dominance on the pitch can only make Messi ( can he ? ). Specially look at the last 3-4 minutes. And all that with such elegance and that pass for Neymar. Simply outstanding.

BC can go higher, 97-98 really.

[Scaramuso]

[Roy]

Is he still an IT: C?

[vinnie]

have we talked about his sa recently? I'm pretty sure a couple of us have mentioned and agreed that he's low yellows sa, i can't tell if i've remembered this incorrectly though.

[midnight]

yeah we did , but Korinov prefered to switch his sa and st which were on 76 - 78 , he's 80 tops imo .

[Fixer]

Konami rates him at 95 why don't we, huh? I can agree with higher SA, but the rest of his shooting is kinda shite, I do reckon he can have a little lower. I just have never seen him as a green SP for instance.

[Rainquel]

He really deserves ball control 97, even 98. His kicking power is a bit higher, 76 looks too low, maybe 78/79.

[Vickingo]

Nice compilation in here of his WC, displayed some beautiful passes and nice da. The one vs Australia was awesome, great sps in there.

[Forza-Málaga]

He was one of the few that play decent for Spain in WC

[Welbeck19]

Through ball to Neymar who finishes it off with a nice chip.

[vinnie]

he's less agile i think.. i'm pretty sure about lowering him to an 85ish, he's still got all of his control but he's far less slippery or dependent on feinting and outturning defenders, rather he squares up and uses his very deceptively solid balance nowadays. Speaking of his BB, even in his younger days he always had a really impressive strength when he needed it, holding up or knocking over the likes of gravesson and zidane, but when he was in his fast dribbling years it was clear he was too easy to push off the ball to deserve much of a value, nothing over 75 certainly. Now that he actively uses his strength, i wouldn't be against like a 78 bb.

he's a pretty nice long passer these days as well. i'm convinced that in the past seasons he didn't deserve higher lpa then the 84 he's got, but now he's refined it imo, it's really quite good now.

[Scaramuso]

[saitek]

Isn't 84 AGI a lil bit too low? I remember Xaxi had that value before he started to drop his level, and it seems to me that Iniesta's ability on that regard is superior. IMO 85/86 would suit him better.

[vinnie]

When I lowered him I was thinking in fact of how he compares to xavi at prime.. and I really wonder if iniesta now if as agile as xavi then. I don't see it, not anymore. he still has speed, but I haven't seen any real agility in a while.
