This epic version of Marcel Desailly has elite defensive awareness, physicality and tackling abilities.

eFootball Epic Big Time Marcel Desailly Stats

The new epic Marcel Desailly has the playstyle of 'Destroyer'. This means he is going to shield the defence line by relentlessly pressing the opposition strikers. He will intercept dangerous through balls and win aerial and ground duels, thanks to his high stats on physicality and jumping. His 2 skills, 'Aerial Fort' and 'Fortress', mirror him closely with the likes of other beast CBs like Ferdinand, Thurram and more.

Marcel Desailly’s stats are quite stacked and kind of remind you of some top CBs like Ferdinand. His stats are good enough to even play as a DMF. You can use the booster 'Duelling' to bolster his defensive stats. He will perform best when you're playing him under managers like Fabio Capello.

The following table shows the best build for eFootball Epic Marcel Desailly. This build is for playing him in the role of a DMF or CB in the game.

Marcel Desailly is definitely going to be one of the best CBs in eFootball. Marcel is one of those balanced defensive midfielders who is good both on and off the ball. His touches might feel a bit heavy, but he makes up for it with his elite positioning, work rate and physicality. This card may not be meta-breaking, but certainly solid for any dream team.

If you are a free-to-play user and have a decent CB like Cannavaro or Franco Baresi, you can skip signing him. Both Baresi and Cannavaro are good to go in the current meta. However, if you don't have a good 'destroyer' in your lineup and have enough coins, target Marcel Desailly.
