85 - Normal
5.0
Best Gold fullback in FIFA history
By Timmo, 11-11-2019

First things first, spend the extra few K and grab yourself a Marcelo with a Shadow chem attached, he does need it. Now, with that out of the way, let's talk about why people need to stop dropping 50k on Ferland Mendy and welcome Marcelo into their life. This guy is the most fun fullback in the game by far. 5* skills on a full back. 89 dribbling. 83 passing, 74 shooting. And with Shadow he feels as rapid as you need him to feel. His 4* weak foot feels close to 5* so you can cut inside and switch the play with his excellent long passing, play quick one-twos, and absolutely devastate your opponent down the left.


Perhaps the thing people might overlook in this card is Marcelo's physicality. He's a monster in 50-50s.


You may worry about his work-rates, but let me tell you that I have never noticed them. Never. He never lets me down. When I set my fullbacks to stay back, he stays back.


Forget getting Roberto Carlos, you don't need him. This guy is the complete package. What a card.

Everything.

Honestly, I'm struggling to think of anything. Maybe you want someone with faster than 90 sprint speed (Shadow attached) but with his physicality I really don't think he needs it.
