This is one of the most consistent cards I have used to date.

He never misplaces a pass and all of his shots seem to be on target.

He is has the best value for money yet as it feels as though I have done a prime icon sbc for 40k.

The only downside to this guy is his stamina, which is cancelled out by his low/low work rates. Don't worry though, he always gets back to help my defence when needed and is great when executing 1,2's with other players as he constantly moves around the pitch.

He is very similar to Jesse Lingard's FUTMAS card in game so I had to build a team with both of them.

His Dribbling never lets you down and he can glide past players with ease.

He is also surprisingly strong.

Granted i'm not used to 90+ rated players, i usually stick to united players and float around div 2, but this card is by far the best card i have ever used in any fut ever. Very consistent passing, including those little dink passes when theres a defender in the way. Much better shooting than the stats would suggest. Intercepts more than i even need him to. Much, much, much faster than the stats suggest, once he gets on a run and you give it him, hes already through and usually scores. Goes without saying that he smashes free kicks in from miles away and picks out ridiculous through balls too. Similar to Ibra, but obviously not as tall. Played a few games with him as a CM but realised he needed to be closer to the net and in the middle of the park to influence the game more, since trying him at CF ive benched futmas ibra and futmas herrera and built a team around just him. He isn't as fast as some people might be used to, playing with roided up martial, musa etc, but for someone like me who's used to ibra, he's absolutely perfect. Playing with him in a 4-4-1-1 at CF with a hunter chem.

When I saw this card I thougt I weren't be able to afford it, but it just costs me 15 minutes and 30k.

30k for an 91 rated card is really cheap!

Also you can use him to play and to have fun!

I dont know if you could use him in FUT Champions (maybe as super sub in the 70. minute).

Its a little bit hard to fit him in a team if you don't have an Serie A squad.

I put him in at the start, played him at cm in a 4-3-2-1 bundesliga - la liga hybrid.

First of all, his dribbling feels really good, unfortunately he only has 2 star skills.

His pace isn't bad at all, the sprint speed is a little bit low.

His shooting suprised me! He only have 81 long shots but you can score with him from like 20 meters easily.

I don't have to tell about his freekicks and passing. I mean, its pirlo ^^.

His stamina is ok, you can use him like 60 minutes until he is dead.

For me he is one of the best cm that I have ever used in Fifa 18.

And its only 30k. Try him, if you don't like him you can use him in a Icon SBC or something.

Pirlo is a curious case of a player that needs time to be understood, like in real life he needs to be putted in the right place with the right teamates. I played him around 150 times and I suggest to place him as CDM in a narrow 4-1-2-1-2 formation or similar. I explain you why: in the real career Pirlo started as CAM, but in AC Milan he played in front of the defence as a playmaker; Pirlo WAS BORN to do that. He got an insane interception and positioning stats (with anchor), he can win the ball cut the passing line of the rival CAM and start a counter with a long pass, or even re-organize the defence holding the ball or passing it behind. So, if you want to see a real maestro forget about use him as CRM or CLM him in a 4-3-3 formation or similar, he will decide to play as winger despite his WR and positioning stats. And most important, put him on LOW aggressive interceptions, he will not run as a rabbit but only if necessary, so he will not waste his low low stamina.

I missed the first chance to get Pirlo so I was excited when he came back for Futties

PACE: 8/10

So Pirlo is not the fastest but he can beat defenders due to his good acceleration.

SHOOTING: 9/10

Long shots, Free kicks, Penalties, and Finesse are all good but Finishing inside the box not the best.

PASSING : 10/10

Nothing much to say, he never misses a pass and is great at crossing to PTG Firmino

DRIBBLING: 10/10

He has great ball control and dribbling so he can hold possesion even when he is tired or he can't outrun players.

DEFENDING: 7/10

He's not the best defender but he can make a good stand tackle and get possesion back a few times

Physical: 3/10

He's a bit strong but won't use that because he has no aggression. Do not ever try to head the ball with him, if he even decides to jump, it won't do much.

P.S

I used a Gladiator on him to boost shooting and defending. DO NOT USE HUNTER OR SHADOW because his low stamina will drain him before he can make those fasts runs

I use him as a super sub be aware of that
