Positional Abilities
Player development in 8 years
He developed quite nicely, and quite honest we expected this. Most significant changes are noticable in his Mental Attributes.
Career Stats and Injuries History through 8 years
Constant performer with Av. Rating near 7. We expected a bit better performance from him than he has provided, but do to the fact he was not managed by a real player but an AI manager it doesn’t surprise us so much.
Not injury proneness, which is always good, some minor set backs, but nothing that would regress his career.
Our verdict on Raphael Varane:
Great young defender, if you’re looking for a future replacement or maybe a for an imidiate player that will strengthen your defensive line, than look no further than this player. OUR RATING:
