Alright, let’s talk about my recent gaming experience with Giorgio Chiellini in FIFA 23. I’ve been messing around with different players and formations, you know, the usual stuff, and Chiellini caught my eye.
Getting Started
First off, I fired up the game and checked out Chiellini’s stats. He’s 38 years old in this version, which is pretty up there, but hey, age is just a number, right? I saw he plays as a Centre Back for LAFC – that’s Los Angeles FC for those not into the MLS. He’s got a 2-star skill rating and a 3-star weak foot, and he’s left-footed. Nothing too fancy, but solid for a defender.
Checking His Ratings
Now, his overall rating is 81, and his potential is also 81. It seems like he’s not going to improve much, but he’s good enough for what I wanted to try. I noticed there were different versions of him, like the Winter Wildcards card rated 87 and a TOTS Moments card at 90. He’s also quite tall, around 187cm or 6’2, which is good for winning headers and all that.
Putting Him in the Game
I decided to throw him into a few matches to see how he actually performed. His price on the Xbox market was around 2,000 coins, which isn’t too bad. I slotted him into my defense and played a couple of games. Honestly, he felt pretty sturdy back there. He’s not the fastest guy, but he makes up for it with his positioning and strength.
Playing Matches
During the matches, I paid attention to how he handled different situations. He was good at intercepting passes and making tackles. I also used him for set pieces, and his height definitely came in handy for defending against corners and free kicks. He won a few headers, which was satisfying.
Comparing His Cards
I was curious about those other versions of him I saw earlier, so I tried out the Winter Wildcards version. This one felt a bit better, especially with the higher rating. He was more aggressive and seemed to win more duels. I haven’t gotten my hands on the TOTS Moments card yet, but I’m guessing it’s even better.
Overall Thoughts
- Strong Defender: Chiellini is a reliable defender who can hold his own in the backline.
- Good in the Air: His height makes him a threat on set pieces, both offensively and defensively.
- Affordable: He’s not too expensive on the market, making him a decent option for budget teams.
- Different Versions: There are better versions of him available if you’re willing to spend more coins.
In the end, playing with Chiellini was a fun experiment. He might not be the flashiest player, but he gets the job done. I enjoyed testing him out and seeing how different versions of him perform. He’s definitely a solid choice if you need a strong center-back in FIFA 23. That’s it for my little gaming adventure with Chiellini. Hope you found it somewhat interesting!
