Diego Godín’s interceptions are spot-on

At number seven, it is Diego Godín from Atletico Madrid. The 30-year old centre-back from Uruguay had a fantastic season last year. In fact, Atletico Madrid had the best defence in La Liga conceding only eighteen goals.

Godín received a bump in his rating, to 88 from an overall of 85 last year. He is a wonderful tackler and a great tactician showing good amounts of aggression. He is brilliant in the air with a rating of 92 for heading accuracy. His slide tackles are venomous and his interceptions are spot-on. The only downside, an average rating for stamina.

Overall – 88

Pace – 65

Shooting – 48

Passing – 65

Dibbling – 63

Defence – 88

Physical – 79

You can pick up Diego Godín in FIFA 17 just by looking at the defending stats. He is a wall and will fit into any team with ease. However, Atletico Madrid will not let him go easily in the manager mode.
