Avantages

Marquinhos brings excellent pace for a central defender especially considering his background as a center-back.

Unsurprisingly, Marquinhos excels defensively. His tackling, interception, and defensive positioning are top-tier for a CB.

He reads the game well, breaks up play consistently, and provides strong shielding in front of the back line.

Marquinhos brings strong physical attributes into the defence. He’s tough in challenges, doesn’t shy away from contact, and uses his body effectively to win duels.

His height is balanced, tall enough to compete in the air, yet still agile on the ball.

At 6 feet, he can contest headers during both defensive and attacking set pieces, while also maintaining good mobility in tight spaces.

Power header trait gives him an upgrade during set pieces. Marquinhos can time his runs well and score headers from corners or free kicks.

It also boosts his effectiveness in clearing aerial threats when defending set pieces.

Inconvénients

While his reactions are decent, they aren’t elite for a high-level defender. In fast-paced situations, he may sometimes be a split second late to react compared to more technically sharp defenders. Against high-press teams or quick attackers, this can occasionally be exposed.

Alternatives

Verdict final

112 CB Marquinhos is a defensively solid, physically dominant center back ideal for players who need a strong, no-nonsense presence in the back line. His pace, tackling, and aerial threat make him an amazing CB. While his reactions aren’t top-tier, his overall consistency, defensive IQ, and physical profile more than compensate for it. He’s perfect for those who want a strong ball-winner who can also contribute on set pieces.
