FIFA 22 Fut Captains Giorgio Chiellini stats

Not only is Chiellini’s Pace stat of 86 now superb but the hidden Acceleration stat of 87 is also excellent. Chiellini always had amazing Physicality and Defending prowess, but he now also has the Pace to keep up with quick attacking players.

His 94 Defensive Awareness, 93 Standing Tackle, and 90 Strength will all be put to excellent use as the CB keeps the ball out of your net. You’ll need to get creative when linking outside of full Serie A squads, but Chiellini is a monster defender that you won’t want to pass up.

FIFA 22 Fut Captains Joaquin stats

Joaquin has received a whopping +11 upgrade to his overall rating and if you run a LaLiga squad the wide player is a no-brainer. The Betis captain boasts four face stats of at least 90 and his Pace, Shooting, Passing, and Dribbling are all top tier.

Furthermore, Joaquin’s 4* skill moves and weak foot are sure to please experienced players who have the expertise to put them to use. Joaquin may get muscled off the ball too easily but given his bag of tricks, he should leave defenders in the dust.

The FUT Captains Joaquin SBC will be available for one week as it expires on April 15. At the moment, Future Stars Ferran Torres is likely the best LaLiga right-winger available to Ultimate players. However, if you’re not willing to spend the steep cost of over 500,000 coins, Joaquin is a fantastic alternative.

The Real Betis legend has nearly identical stats to Torres and costs about half the price. If you have a ton of Spanish players outside of LaLiga you should also consider completing this SBC.
