One of the best LB in-game?!
By Steven47, 12-01-2019

I got Marcelo after trying Mendy, Alaba and Alex Sandro. I needed him to link up with Ramos. I was afraid of his low pace but with shadow you won't even notice it. His defending could be better but it is enough to stop players like Salah, Bale etc. What I absolutely love about him is his dribling and his 5* skill. It is so much fun to play with him!! And if you are afraid of his Low/High WR, I can tell you that with "stay at the back" instruction I don't have any problems with this. His passing is also very good and I even take most of the corners with him because his crossing is very good and he is small so I don't miss him in the 18-yard box. And about his shooting. Well, it is not his best atribute but you don't get him in shooting position too often.

So if you need a decent LB to link-up with Ramos/Varane, go and get Marcelo. He is absolutely worth it and with him in the squad, you will enjoy the game, because it is fun to play with him!

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...
