83 - IF
So with TOTW 7 I was very excited to see an inform Pato coming along as I used his gold card and he suited my play style well. I knew that I was going to buy him at least to try out.
I was lucky enough to pack his red card in my rewards, and since that moment I have realized that you must do nothing but praise this man as he is the second coming. I play a 3-5-2 in game with Talisca as the CAM right behind the fantastic striking duo of Hulk and Pato. This combo is deadly as they each provide a different threat, and with the implementation of Pato my team finally feels complete. His timed finesse is unstoppable, his dribbling is quality, and for a price of 30ish thousand, I'm not sure that you could get a better Brazilian striker.
In weekend league and division 4 of rivals I have played 36 games with Pato in which he scored 49 goals and provided 16 assists.
Although he nets more than half of the shots I take with him, his short passing and long passing do not seem accurate. I have tested his passing in very tight situations and nine times out of ten,this man produces.
I have used a plethora of different strikers this fifa, I have over 350 games, so I think I have a grasp on what works and so on. Similar striker such as Jesus are effective as well but this man brings EA(ids) to the next level.That is the reason I love him and he truly makes this game fun!
The bottom line for Pato is this - If you are looking for a striker that will score goals, make incredible runs, will finish the majority of chances you ask of him while also serving as a competent striker partner, you should look no further than this cheap beast and just pick him up!
Meta.
You can face any way you want, get green on timed finishing he is going to net it.
Makes really good runs.
1v1 king, even with this pace he can skip away from defenders.
Price.
Leaps like a salmon.
