91 - Icon
5.0
THE BEST VERSION OF PELE
By pokeopolis, 23-01-2021

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 tried him at ST and he was pretty good there but I'd say if you do play him at striker, you need to play another pacey striker right next to him in a 442.


CAM is where he shines the best, especially if you have a lot of other attacking players. He strong links to any Brazilian and any other Icon and gives chemistry wherever you need it. I played him in CAM and LAM because his in game card says he can play at LW. However, he doesn't perform as well on the wings as he does in the center. THE RUNS THAT HE MAKES ARE INSANE. He just knows what to do every time and his passing alone will get you goals. I can only imagine how his 95 version feels but if you pack or buy Pele 91, you will not regret it.


Now on to the chemistry styles. You could try Hawk to boost his aggression because he does lack it sometimes but honestly he is fine without it. Maestro is decent to boost those long shots, passing, and reactions but you hardly notice those changes in game. His best chemistry style that I've used would have to be MARKSMAN. Perfect boosts to his finishing and longshots. Dribbling goes up to 99 and his balance and reactions are already perfect as is. The +10 strength boost along with the +10 jumping boost makes his card unpredictable. He's scored headers at times when I did not expect him to. And with him being 5'8", the strength boost allows him to stay strong when being bullied by hefty midfielders.


All in all, this card is truly the real deal. He is currently 3 million on the market which is fair considering everything listed above. If you pack him in your base icon packs, GG. He will not disappoint you. If you can't figure him out, just give him time. He will prove himself that he is the best footballer to have ever lived.

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. These players will serve as reference in this review of Pele 91. This is my first review ever. Pele compared to:MbappePele is a similar player but offers more overall. You could say that Pele is like Mbappé on steroids. What really set...

Better than Baby Eusebio

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 ...

Icon ... Brazil .... CF .... Pele...

So I will start by saying my pack luck was honestly insane this year and I wish the same for you guys. After Messi, Neymar (3 times), CR7, Mbappe, KDB, Kante, VVD, Aubam, Pogba 3 times). I decided to do a base icon SBC because of the very good high rated fodders I got from the 25 x 83+ pack. And guess what... Brazil... naaaaah .... CF naaaaaaah ... Pele...After 55 games here is my opinion:
