Pros
Rapid Pace and Recovery
Capdevila has excellent pace, enabling him to match most attackers during counter-attacks. His speed makes it easy for him to recover quickly and track back to halt advancing opponents with minimal space to exploit.
Elite Defensive Intelligence
Defensively, he is top-tier. His man-marking and ability to read the game are outstanding. He anticipates plays early, intercepts passes efficiently, and rarely gets caught out of position.
Sharp and Effective Tackling
Both his standing and sliding tackles are sharp, well-timed, and highly effective in defensive duels. He regularly wins possession cleanly, stopping attacks without conceding unnecessary fouls.
Precise Passing and Build-Up Play
Though defense-first, he can contribute offensively. His short and long passes—especially through balls and whipped crosses—are precise, aiding in build-up play and delivering quality service into the box.
Aggressive Pressing and Ball Carrying
He presses aggressively and carries the ball forward effectively, driving down the wing to stretch play and create attacking width.
Dangerous and Consistent Crossing
One of his standout strengths is his crossing. He consistently delivers dangerous balls from wide areas, generating assists and clear chances for strikers.
Outstanding Stamina and Work Rate
His stamina is excellent, enabling him to maintain a high work rate for 90 minutes. His High/High work rate ensures constant involvement in both attack and defense.
Agility and Responsiveness
Feels agile and responsive, shifting direction smoothly, making interceptions, and recovering quickly to block passes or shots.
Aerial Strength and Clearances
With solid height and good timing, he performs effective aerial clearances to neutralize threats from crosses and set pieces.
Composed Ball Control and Dribbling
Has good ball control and dribbling, with roulette as his assigned skill move—effective for bypassing opponents in tight spaces.
Set-Piece Threat
Possesses the Powerful Driven Free Kick trait—his free-kicks are strong and accurate from distance. Also has the Long Shot Taker trait, making him capable of scoring from range with his stronger foot.
Cons
Slight Lack of Physicality
Sometimes loses duels against physically dominant forwards due to slightly lower strength, especially when shielding the ball.
Three-Star Weak Foot
Limits his ability to deliver strong passes or shots with his weaker foot, making him slightly more predictable in certain situations.
Risk from High/High Work Rate
While his work rate is impressive, his tendency to push forward often can leave gaps in defense if not tactically managed.
Conclusion
A rock-solid LB with pace, defensive mastery, and elite crossing ability, but occasional defensive gaps from his work rate require careful play style adjustment.
Rating: 9.7/10
