85 - Icon
2.5
Not worth 8 tokens
By OskarLennwall, 28-10-2019

So, after seeing Nepenthez going pretty crazy over Pep I thought that he was going to be a great CDM that would be crazy good. But unfortunately he did not live up the hype.



I used a the engine chem style on him due to my playstyle which is very possesion based and tbh I did not like his base cards dribbling stats. I have used him for 1 whole fut champs weekend were I got elite 3, and a whole week in Div 4/3 rivals. So lets get in to the pros and cons. 

Pace: Pep is very usefull at chasing down attackers. His pace is probably one if not his most impressive stat. He felt very nice and not stiff at all.


Dribbling: This stat surprised me due to his very decent dribbling ingame. Also because my other CDM is IF Ndidi you could really feel the difference in dribbling.


Passing: Very decent. Nothing to complain about here. I felt very comfortable using him in my build up play.

Defending: I expected so much more from him defensively. His defensive awareness is certainly not 89 which is card suggest. I had to drag him into position almost every attack my opponent had.


Shooting: Non existing, could not even score if the goal was wide open so don´t even bother shooting with Pep.


Physical: His biggets con for sure. His strength and stamina is not very good which is a problem in tough games.

Mr Simple himself!

Unless you are one of those bullshit youtubers that want their CDMs to have Pelé skills you will enjoy this card. Pepe plays a simple and effective game, is not a card that will make you go crazy about it, but if you are decent at playing he will be decent for you.

Top CDM.

Hi, I use my swap icons players for getting Pep. And I have to say he's a fucking beast. I have 30 matches with him. 3 goals and 16 assists.With anchor he is very fast and corpulent.

Fun at First But The Hype Dies Down Fast

Im probably not the only one who got access to his first icon through ICON swaps, reading some reviews here I had high expectations. At first playing Guardiola feels amazing. His positioning, his interceptions, decent straightforward passing and no nonsense defending makes him a CDM to be reckoned with. Yet as your team gets better you it is inevitable that Guardiola's weak spots will come to light. His dribbling is really...
