Info:
Left-footed defender who could play both as left-back and left centre-back, Figueroa built his reputation as one of the most reliable defenders in CONCACAF during his years with Olimpia, Wigan and the Honduran NT. Not the quickest full-back in pure sprint, but strong, very competitive and with excellent defensive positioning and timing in the tackle. Reads the game well, marks tightly and is brave in the air, winning many duels thanks to his balance and jumping rather than sheer height.
With the ball he keeps it simple: short passes into midfield and occasional long diagonals down the flank, without the flair of an attacking wing-back. However, he does have a powerful left foot from distance, highlighted by his famous goal from his own half against Stoke,which justifies a good Shot Power and the Long Range Drive card.
