90 - FUT Birthday

5.0

Great Card

By jabru, 02-08-2019

Pace (9/10)

I gave him engine so he did have a slight pace boost but he felt very fast and was able to outrun a lot of defenders. High sprint speed, acceleration, and agility make this card feel faster than the you would think from looking at him.

Shooting (8/10)

I play with my wingers quite wide so he doesn't get into a lot of shooting positions, however when he does, he is certainly capable. His finishing is just average but his long shots from outside the box are excellent.

Passing (10/10)

Again, engine boosted his passing, but with vision (92), crossing (99), short pass (95), long pass (91), and curve (91) all in the 90s, his passing is terrific.

Dribbling (10/10)

With almost all of his dribbling stats in the upper 90s as well as 5*sm/4*wf he is one of the better dribblers I have played with. Ball at time seems as if it is glued to his feet and is very hard to dispossess.

Defending (8/10)

I love having outside mids with good defense that can win the ball back in attacking positions. While his defensive stats aren't what you would find in a defender, they are very good for an outside mid and he is great at winning the ball back high up the pitch. The drawback is his low defensive workrate so he does not come back and help out in defense as much as I would like.

Physicality (7/10)

His strength is not great, but he is certainly adequate at holding defenders off for a decent amount of time. Its also high enough to throw around a lot of other outside mids.

In summary, this is a terrific card for under 150k. He is a lot like Neymar, but with better defending and strength. I would certainly recommend trying him out.

So much fun!

(Excuse me for my English)I always liked Marcelo in FIFA, and when he got 5star skills this year it was only getting better!I think he's not solid enough for the LB position.. his defending is too low and combined with his low workrate, it was a no from me.But I always loved Marcelo's attacking stats, so when he got this RM FutBirthday card I needed him so bad.I didn't had the patience to wait fo...

Reliable and Worth it!

After packing Bale, Lukaku and IF Reus in my rewards (yes, I'm flexing), I decided to do some major upgrades to my squad. CB pairing was easy. Ramos and Varane, but I wasn't sure who to use on the left; Alba or MarceloI read a couple of reviews saying Marcelo is more dependable going forward, but a risk at the back.

TOTY MARCELO

So, i noticed that there weren't any reviews on this card and here i am, the first reviewer and a happy one i must say. So i was lucky enough to pack this guy untradable and after getting over the initial ecstasy i decided to pair him alongside Umtiti, Varane and 2nd IF Lala at the back with a midfield link to Fabinho. I put him on mixed attack and made Fabinho stay back to cover when he's out of position (although he rarel...
