Il capitano, the center forward of dreams

By Futtactics, 11-11-2017

For starters let me tell you they did quite a good job on this 90 rated card of del piero, which was a formidable center forward.

When people talk about the best footballer of all time you will always hear names like pele, messi, ronaldo (cr9 and cr7), maradona, ronaldinho and zidane. But not a lot of people will mention del piero. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to say del piero is the best footballer of all time but he's quite a good contender if you consider the role he plays in, and that is between the striker and the cam position.

Apart from pele I can't see anyone better in this role than del pierro, allthough you need to consider one thing, pele didn't have to plow through italian defenders of the nineties and early 2000's on a weekly basis.

When del piero got injured in 1998 juventus finished the season as seventh and this while the likes of filipo inzaghi, edgar davids, antonio conte, thierry henry and no one less than zinedine zidane was walking that field in juventus. You want to compare other legends? Well just know this. Zidane was not as clinical as del pierro. Both ronaldo's didn't and don't have the playmaking ability of del piero. Neither messi, maradona or ronaldinho are two footed.

With his 93 finishing, 5 star weak foot and 92 dribbling del piero is a nightmare for defenders. He's quite agile as well, making him able to turn away from defenders to score or pass with relative ease. Passing is one of the key features of del pierro. It's also how you play with del pierro, you can put him on st, but you need another st next to him that makes the long runs or passes the ball back to him so he can come in position when you build up the play.

He's fast enough to break away when he comes in position though and he's also quite good at positioning but don't expect del pierro to make most of your counters and long runs, he lacks the strength and/or the speed for that, not to mention the workrates. Still, if your opponent decides to play attack in the late game, he could be countered by del piero, he's not a speedster but he's not exactly slow either, and because of his good stamina and high dribbling he will be alone on goal before he knows it, goal del piero...

The strength isn't much of an issue, 64 isn't that low, he isn't mertens or even griezman. Even his fairly mediocre balance stat isn't much of an issue, he has 94 ball control, 94 dribbling, 88 reactions and 87 agility. Just keep moving, the ball glues to his feet and he's quite fast with the ball in short space. Defenders won't know what to do with him.

If you want a player that's right up there with the biggest names. Get 90 del piero,

Best CAM card I have used on this Fifa, As ST he was not actually clicking because strong defenders where pushing him off easily.So played him in a no.10 role and he was phenomenal, His pace and his ability to drive the ball forward to create even score.Played 14 games scores 22 goals (World Class Difficulty)
