Right there we go. Like I said I did him a few weeks ago, so sorry I hadn't previously posted him up. I really like Ricardo Carvalho as a defender. His reading of the game is first class and his interception, positioning, and blocks are excellent.
So first of all, with defence rating of 89, his positional sense is going to be great ingame, and his slide tackles will also be fantastic. With a response value of 90 his reading of the game is fantastic and he can quickly move in and cut out the play. Also,the balance between his attack of 58 and defence of 89 is spot on and realistically reflects his real life positioning on the pitch. Combined with an aggession of 64, you sometimes see him making that little forray just inside the opponents half to help distribute the ball.
Next his athletisicm. good top speed and acceleration, with 78 and 76 respectively accurately reflecting his speed of mobility in real life. One thing to note is he is definitely slower on the ball than off the ball, so dribble speed of 73 shows this. Very good stamina with 85, and a high mentality of 86 mean he has the capacity to carry his qualitys into the last moments of the game. A good leap as well, often rising well in both his, and the oppositions penalty area. 80 is just right for his jump value. Not susceptible to injury either, as the 7 for condition shows.
A pretty good passer of the ball aswell, although his long passes are often that bit shabby. Accuracy of 71 for short pass and 68 for long pass mean he is good passing between the midfield and along his defence, whereas his long balls lack the finesse of a player like Nesta. A standard level of two footedness aswell, he is alright for both with a 5 in both accuracy and frequency. Also he has good technique aswell, and you can rely on him not to let his touch let him down.
Regarding his special stars, I didnt give him the sliding star. This is for two reasons. Firstly with defence stat of 89 he is already going to have excellent ability to get back up quickly from his slide tackles, and is going to be accurate. And secondly, the sliding star would make him to good at them, as we occasionally see him be a bit reckless, so we need to portray that ingame with the lack of a sliding star.
Thats all I have to say about him really, bit less than I normally do, but I feel that is a good analysis highlighting key points about him.
