ICON JOHN BARNES REACTS TO HIS FUT CARD!

[@MrSherhi]

Wow he looks very humble. And yes, those defending stats...many icons butchered, Rooney is prime example.

[@erikgrimmcard2392]

Rooney? How about Lampard and Gerrard? I think of them before Rooney. Prime Rooney is useable. Lampard and Gerrard are dog shite.

[@frxzensqillix6151]

I actually think Barnes is a very underated player he has 4 star 4 star and those stats which do not really suck. Of course there are much better players but his stats don't look as bad as the card gets treated

[@shafta2010]

They way John describes his positions it's like he was Milner before Milner played all over the pitch. Klopp would definitely play him at LB and CM.

[@Ben.T0722]

If I’m not mistaken, rating is calculated by adding all the stats and if it’s an attacker or midfielder, you divide by 5, but if it’s a defender then it’s by 6, if that’s the case, 483(all 6 stats added together) divide 5 is 96, I think the main reason barnes and many other icons don’t have as high rating as their stats may show is that fifa would be too chaotic with all of these overpowered players

[@dingus4077]

The dividing by 5 or 6 is definitely not how they do it😂. It is probably a weighted average based on position, so a winger would have a very low weight for defending and very high weight on passing and dribbling. That’s my guess but knowing EA they could even just give an overall rating they feel like regardless of stats.

[@sanjayrajagopal7416]

@@dingus4077 it is, each position has a stat or two that isnt taken into the average, like cb doesnt need shooting or dribbling to still be considered good

[@CodPatrol]

This is why you get strikers who have good shooting and dribbling that have low ratings, because certain stats are calculated better. A striker with low strength won’t be given a high rating even if he has 85 shooting because it thinks strikers need to be physical to be good.

[@CodPatrol]

Loads of silvers who are 74 rated thereabouts have good stats for their rating but aren’t higher because there will be certain stuff that’s low. You’ll get some of them with like 87 pace 74 shooting that should be almost 80 rated

[@LuukDeGOATForever]

That’s definitely not how they calculate it there are like 80 rated gold cards with better stats than icons

[@allainangcao28]

God, he is making me feel guilty for putting him in an SBC, he is such a nice guy. I will admit 45 Defending is kind of shocking, at least somewhere in the 75+ is adequate. Like, he wasn’t overtly bad at defending and he more or less won back possession when he had a good chance.

[@justleo3740]

Bro might be a legend and shi but its ea s fault icons like him are not usable and ass ingame and move like trucks its really cringe

[@galacticpooper9718]

I think fifa overall rating count depending on your position, for example Messis avg rating isnt 91, but since hes a winger in game it doesnt make sense to rate him based on his defending, so that 91 comes mostly from pace, dribbling passing and lil bit of shooting since those are the most important stats for a winger

Oh Barnes 🥺 he said “they’re probably kinder to older icon people which is why I’m probably quicker than Darwin” If he only knew how many icons EA disrespect by making them unusable ☠️

[@CodPatrol]

They’re only unusable for you because of meta, just because Henry has 66 balance doesn’t mean you can’t take advantage of his high dribbling and shooting stats, if anything Henry’s shooting is generous because he wasn’t that clinical.
