Raphaël Varane vs Pubill in EA FC 27: which card is better?

Raphaël Varane (Base Icon, 88) and Pubill (Future Stars, 89) are both right-footed 191 cm centre-backs with the Anticipate PlayStyle+ and the Defender role. This page sets the veteran Icon against the young Atlético de Madrid defender to see where each one is stronger.

Pubill is ahead on the face stats in DEF (89 against 88), PHY (87 against 83), PAS (77 against 66) and SHO, and his jumping 93, heading accuracy 90 and standing tackle 90 make him the more physical, aerial defender, helped by Bruiser and Relentless. Varane is the one for pace and anticipation: PAC 84, acceleration 85, interceptions 88 and Quick Step, Jockey and Precision Header. Pubill can also cover RB.

Pick Pubill if you want the stronger, more physical all-round defender who can also play RB. Pick Varane if you prefer a quick, interception-minded centre-back who recovers well.
