Scout report

From this card’s data

John Barnes is a Base Icon LW in EA SPORTS FC 27 Ultimate Team, rated 88 overall and representing England. He can also play at LM and CAM. His standout trait is dribbling: a 90 DRI face stat backed by 92 in-game dribbling and 90 ball control.

Use Barnes on the left wing or cutting in as a Shadow Striker. His 89 PAC with 90 sprint speed and Quick Step lets him beat defenders, while Finesse Shot and 87 finishing reward cutting inside onto his left foot. Gamechanger is his PlayStyle+. Don't rely on him defensively, with DEF at 44 and interceptions at 31.

A fit for attack-minded squads that want a skilful, quick left-sided creator who also scores. Not for anyone needing a winger who tracks back.
