91 - Icon

4.5

A clinical CAM

By DanManHamJam, 27-12-2017

I use Pires as a CAM in the 41212(2) and he is absolutely clinical. I start off with the 4321 and switch in game since I feel he's better suited to being a CAM. He makes better runs than any CAM I've used and his finishing in the box is excellent. He's one of those players who just always seems to be in the right place at the right time. He's also very quick for a CAM which compensates for his lack of strength. As you would expect, his playmaking ability is top class with great passing and dribbling. One disappointing thing is his long shots are pretty average which isn't ideal as I like my CAMs to be able to bang them in from long distance. Being 6'2" and so agile is a rare combination at CAM. In terms of value for money, I don't believe you'll find a better icon, especially if you do the SBC. His stamina has't been a problem for me at any point. His goals and assists are all from division 1/FUT Champions and I'd say it's a pretty decent return: 127 goals, 115 assists in 162 games.

Pires isn't Human

As someone who has used multiple icons, Pires is easily one of the best. I had previously used 88 Pires and decided to sell him in order to complete the SBC for 91 Pires. I was contentious about this, as they seemed to have similar stats, however Pires proved his worth. Pires is easily visible on the pitch, he is easy to distinguish due to his long lucious hair and height. He has a presenc...

CAM Masterclass

When I first saw this card I was doubtful. I ended up paying 450k for him, with nothing in my club. Whilst the price is steep, you're getting a very versatile icon who's high rating also makes him eligible for other icon sbc's. I started Pires in a 4-3-2-1 at LF and switched to a 4-1-2-1-2 in game with Piers at CAM behind SBC Promes and SBC Icon Hernandez. What a player! If his price drops below 500 I wouldn't think twice b...

Possibly one of the best

Pires is one of my favorite players I have played. He is so important for my team and especially my offense. I have completed the SBC to give him away for another Prime Icon but after I played him in the WL I just wanted to keep him. I play him as a CAM in the 4-1-2-1-2 (2). I start off with 4-3-3 (2) and switch ingame because he is the perfect CAM. He makes the best runs and finishes excellent. He is very fast and agile fo...
