Okay, let’s dive right into this. I’ve been playing FIFA 23 for a while now, and I wanted to share my experience with a player that I’ve been really digging lately: David Alaba.
So, I started playing with Alaba’s Rare card first. I noticed right away that he’s got an 86 rating. Dude’s solid, you know? He’s not the tallest guy out there, standing at 180cm, but he’s got skills.

- I played a bunch of matches, and this guy’s left foot is like a guided missile.
- Plus, he’s got a 3-star skill rating and a 4-star weak foot rating, so he can hold his own pretty well on the pitch.
Then, I decided to switch things up and try out his Rulebreakers card. This one’s even better, with an 88 rating.
From Rare to Rulebreakers
- I tested him out in a few games, and I gotta say, the difference is noticeable.
- He feels more agile, and his passes are even more on point.
I learned that he’s 30 years old in the game, which is kinda cool because he’s still got it. On the Xbox market, I saw his price was around 9,900 coins, which, considering his abilities, seems like a pretty good deal.
I also did a little digging and found out that in real life, Alaba plays as a center back for Real Madrid. In the game, he’s positioned there too, repping the LaLiga Santander.
Now, some folks might wonder, why all the fuss about pace? Well, let me tell you, even though FIFA tries to be all realistic and stuff, it’s still a video game. We ain’t got 90 minutes for each match! So having a player like Alaba, who can move and react quickly, is a game-changer.
I spent hours playing with him, trying out different strategies and formations. He’s a versatile player.
I realized he’s not just a great defender but also a solid choice for starting attacks from the back. His passing is top-notch. I managed to score some pretty sweet goals by starting plays with him.
In the end, whether you’re a seasoned FIFA player or just starting out, I think giving Alaba a shot is a good move. He’s fun to play with, and he can really make a difference in your team. I had a blast playing with him and will continue to do so in the future. I hope my experience helps others see what a great player he is in FIFA 23!
