Love this card

By JediPurpleSquirrel31, 04-03-2021

I absolutely love this card, it is extremely fun to play with. His passing is just sublime and the dribbling is excellent. This card is great for assists - for me he gets an assist almost every game. Without a chemistry style, his pace is average, but with a hunter he does feel reasonably quick. Shooting is also good but is even better with a hunter. The shooting stat may seem quite average at first, but in game I have scored some beautiful outside of the box finesse shots. His penalties and free kicks are also absolutely fantastic. Five star skills combined with his high dribbling stats make for an excellent combo.

My only complaints about this Pirlo card are his defending and physical. Strength is quite low, meaning that he does get bodied off the ball (but this can be prevented if you are quick enough with him). Defending stats are bang average but I play him with two other more defensive-orientated midfielders, so this doesn't matter too much. I would recommend a hunter or any other chemistry style that increases pace and/or shooting for this card. I don't really think there is any point applying one which increases defending or physicality as he is not a very defensive player and those stats are already quite low, so even with a chemistry style they won't be that good. I also see lots of comments on Futbin complaining that he does not have 99 passing. The only reason it isn't 99 is because he has 92 crossing but apart from that all other passing stats are actually insanely high.

Overall, I think this is an excellent card. It is extremely fun to use and has absolutely fantastic passing and dribbling as well as very good shooting. I packed him untradeable so obviously I was not hit with the high price tag. However, I can say with absolute certainty that if you are willing to spend the money and want to have a really solid, fun to use card, then go ahead and buy him.

THE TIRED PLAYMAKER

I packed him untradeable on friday just before I start to play my WL games. I chose to test him in place of Bruno Fernandes 1st POTM, cause he is one of my midfield idols. He has done well creating plays and finding passes that doesnt seem even possible, but the stamina is too bad for a CM (I always had to bench him after 65'). His shooting isn't bad but its far away of being perfect (80% of goals scored out...

Highly Underused

Probably the best partner to a defensive midfielder there is for under 200k. The man does everything very well, stick a shadow on him and you wont need to do anything. He partnered Essien for 30+ games and was never outshone by anyone and pocketed most players he came up against, 98 acuna, pogba 95 etc ect.
