Franz Beckenbauer vs Raphaël Varane in EA FC 27: which card is better?
Franz Beckenbauer vs Raphaël Varane: stats, PlayStyles, roles and live prices of both EA FC 27 cards side by side.
Verdict
Franz Beckenbauer is a 93-rated Base Icon centre-back who also plays at CDM and CM, while Raphaël Varane is an 88-rated Base Icon who sticks to CB. Both carry Anticipate, but the two cards are built for very different jobs at the back.
Beckenbauer is stronger almost everywhere: DEF 93 against 88, PAS 88 against 66, DRI 84 against 74, plus 4-star weak foot and 3-star skill moves. His long passing 95 and Long Ball Pass suit a ball-playing sweeper. Varane has the edge in height at 191 cm, with Aerial Fortress, Block and Precision Header for defending crosses, but his AcceleRATE is Lengthy.
I would pick Beckenbauer for almost any squad, especially if he can step into CDM. Choose Varane only if you specifically want a taller, header-focused CB and don't need passing.
Beckenbauer wins 31 of 37 attributes.
