A True Gentleman Never Leaves his Lady (Del Piero)

By Remyrimmm, 01-03-2020

I really don't know where I'd been if I hadn't pulled Del Piero from my icon pack. I opened two Base Icons that day, got Puyol, not very happy about that (He is actually good at CB though) and then I decided to open another one. Italy, CF, Fucking Del Piero. I used him at striker for hundreds of games but now I've started putting him at Attacking Midfielder since I've bought Messi. I figured Messi would work better at Striker with Stay Forward instructions because of his stamina. Messi is sensational at Striker along with RB Aguero but I still feel as though Del Piero doesn't get involved enough. He doesn't score nearly as many goals anymore for that reason.

Having him at striker means I could fire off more shots with him and let me tell you, that's what you wanna do with him. It says in his stats he's right footed with a 5* Weak Foot. These are lies. The truth is that Del Piero he... I don't know. I don't think he gives a fuck which foot he shoots with. Inside the box, left foot, right foot, power or finesse, doesn't matter, don't care. And outside the box...

I have a friend that I play friendlies with all the time and every time Alex gets it outside the box you can see the desperation in his players movement. Desperate to close him down, cause he knows. He knows very well from experience what happens if you don't. He could be talking about something and suddenly Alex gets it outside the area. Silence. He shuts up out of pure focus. Finesse shots outside the box, friendlies, Squad Battles, WL or Rivals, he's dangerous, very dangerous. And I don't even time my shots. Again his weak foot is insane! To the point where I seriously would rather shoot with his left than his right. Those left foot shots aren't just accurate but powerful too, unlike any other player with 5* WF. I've tried Socrates, KDB, Nedved and Son, but they can't shoot like Del. No chance.

I used Del Piero with many different Chem styles, but right now I actually use Maestro. I like to play short and quick passes while attacking and don't rely on sheer pace in my strikers. For this reason I don't use hawk or engine or anything that bumps up his pace. Instead I focus on his passing and especially his shooting. All his shooting stats get increased to 90+ with Maestro. I don't really notice his low balance all that often so I wouldn't be too worried about it.

When it comes to dribbbling I don't really have a clear opinion. I'm not a tryhard dribbler outside the box who uses Traore to run down the wing to cut back. He has 4* Skills and I like him with the ball at his feet so I suppose he's good.

I personally would have taken Del Piero any day of the week for my swaps based on my experience of using him, but it all comes down to how you play. I love using Del Piero, I think he's alot of fun to use so I wouldn't hesitate taking him for my swaps. Then again I have his 87 card which has better work rates than 90 so who knows.

Pace, he can feel slow at times even though he has 88 pace (Without Chem Style). If you rely heavily on your strikers pace I would use him at CAM instead.

ADP10 the Elite Hero

Finally it's time for my second review. Today it's about ADP10, who shot me this weekend league to Elite.Mostly I played him together with GOAT Messi as a striker, while Mbappe and Neymar played on the wings in 4-4-2 or 4-2-2-2 (see Squad-URL).With the purchase of ADP10 I could finally get rid of my handicap untrade OTW Griezman, who didn't fit into my system either as a striker or on the wings with his 3*WF a...

Most beautiful card in the game ADP10

This is my first review...my english is terrible, but I must do it.I played him in a classic 4-2-3-1 formation as a st. He is simply AMAZING. I was not sure of buying this card because of the price (750k for a 87 card is very expensive for me) but I can easily say this is the best st I ever tryied. Before him had very good st like Ben Yedder 87 ecc... but i'm a huge Juventus fan and Pinturicchio's charm was too strong. The...

Alessandro del Piero is BROKEN!

Del Piero me salio en el sbc del icono base asegurado, al principipo dude de sus capacidades, pero la verdad es que esta ROTO! Lo utilizo en la posision de DC en la 4231 cerrada, tambien en la 4222 y 442. Un par de partidos lo utilice en la 41212(2) de CAM y su rendimiento disminuyo un poco ya que baja mucho a pedir el balon. Empezando por sus 5 de pierna mala es una verdadera locura, se perfila hacia cualquier pie y puede ...
