Homare Sawa vs Xavi: stats, PlayStyles, roles and live prices of both EA FC 27 cards side by side.

Verdict

Homare Sawa and Xavi are both 91-rated Base Icons who play CM in FC 27 Ultimate Team. Sawa brings pace, shooting and defending alongside her passing, while Xavi is the purer playmaker, built almost entirely around vision and passing. They fit different midfield jobs.

Sawa is stronger on the face stats in PAC (84 against 80), SHO (87 against 78), DEF (83 against 69) and PHY (76 against 70), has a 4-star weak foot and stamina of 92, and her Box-to-Box role suits a midfielder who covers ground, intercepts and joins the attack. Xavi leads in PAS (92 against 91) and has vision 95, short passing 95 and Tiki Taka as a PlayStyle+, and he can also play CDM. Pick Sawa for an energetic, two-way CM; pick Xavi to run the build-up from deep.

Choose Sawa if you want a CM who defends, runs and shoots as well as she passes; choose Xavi if you want a deep playmaker who dictates tempo with short, accurate passing.

Sawa wins 22 of 37 attributes.
