Many well-known content creators from the German and English-speaking areas also agree that World Tour Aleix Garcia is one of the best SBCs, if not the best SBC at this point in FC 25.
As an example, you can watch the assessment by EA FC expert Daniel “DieHahn” Brandt on YouTube:
This is how strong the card is in-game: The EA FC service page EasySBC has given him a meta rating of 84.9 for his position as a defensive midfielder. This puts him just behind the legend Patrick Vieira (85.2), who is much more expensive at around 3 million.
Especially in speed and physicality, Aleix Garcia has received very strong upgrades. Thus, most of his stats are above 80. Only his physicality is slightly below that. At such an early stage of FC 25, few cards can impress with such good all-around values.
The new playstyles Tiki-Taka and Through ball for his passing are ideal for his position as a playmaker in midfield. Tiki-Taka gives him the ability to play short passes with great precision, even if he has to play them directly. The Through ball further increases the speed of his pressure passes, while being easier for the receiver to process.
With Anticipation as a defensive playstyle, he has perhaps the most important gameplay style for a defensive player in FC 25. It allows your player to win defensive duels with a higher probability for you.
Where should you play Aleix Garcia? Due to the upgrades, we recommend playing Aleix Garcia in the + role as a deep-lying playmaker in the Central Defensive Midfield (ZDM). Here he can best utilize his strengths.
