91 - Icon
5.0
Better than Baby Eusebio
By gorri, 29-11-2020

After having treaded water on whether or not to buy this card for a while, and after having tried most of the top tier attackers on fifa 21 I finally decided to pull the trigger on buying Pelé. This turned out to be a wise decision as he is simply a level above all other cards I have used, including baby Eusebio. I will review him compared to 89 Eusebio who I had for 40 games this fifa, and who I also used for 9 months of fifa 20 after packing him untradeable. 91 Pelé comes at a cheaper price than Eusebio, and this really doesn't seem right in my opinion, as Pelé feels like the superior card in this edition of the game.

In terms of physicality, shooting and pace the two cards feel identical, the thing that puts Pelé apart from Eusebio is the incredible passing and his smoother dribbling with 5 star skills. The meta this year heavily favours 5* skillers, compared to last year when the weak foot was absolutely vital. For me, the shift in meta for this year has put Pelé above baby Eusebio, though an attack starring both would leave defenders scarred for life. I have used Pelé for 76 games now with 108 goals and 62 assists. In terms of skill rating I am in division 1, reaching around elite 3 for weekend league. He really lives up to his card stats, and if you are looking for a game-changing striker I definitely recommend getting 91 Pelé.

Pace 10/10 No-one is catching up to this guy...

Shooting 9.8/10 Only thing missing is the 5 star wf, however he has scored some absolute bangers on his left for me, so it's a nonissue. His positioning and attacking runs are also perfect.

Passing 10/10 Inch-perfect passing.

Dribbling 10/10 Literally perfect.

Physicality: 8.5/10 The most surprising stat here is that with the hawk chem style, his 98 jumping is noticeably in-game. He has scored a couple of headers for me, out-jumping the likes of IF gomez. Obviously you don't buy this card to take physical duels against elite defenders, but even in those situations Pelé can sometimes hold his own.

If we're being picky his cons are that he doesn't have Gullit's strength or a 5 star weak foot, but then again, that'd be a 15 mil card. ¨

I am a div 1 player with Elite 2 as my top WL placement last year. In this years installment I have tried Neymar, CR7, Messi and Mbappe.

You could say that Pele is like Mbappé on steroids. What really set...

THE BEST VERSION OF PELE

This card is the GOAT. Firstly, I was not expecting to EVER pack this card. Pele has been a player that I've wanted since KSI won him from Wroetoshaw back in 2014. This year, after opening only 2 Base Icon packs, I packed this absolute legend. He is the most complete card ever. He's got Pace, Passing, AMAZING Shooting, and Insane dribbling. At first, I didn't know where to play him because I had Neymar, Mbappe, and CR7. I t...
