Nico-Rassclaat Pepe

My Brudda. I've been lacking a rm/rw from the prem to link to my Bellerin and Odegaard, and Raphinha is just rubbish value. Thank God that Pepe went and balled up against Leicester to get himself this inform. As an Arsenal supporter, it was a welcome inclusion in more ways than one. This review, other than the general card and its performance, might not be all that helpful to you, the reader, as I play him as a lcm in a 4-3-1-2, not as a winger. I'm running him with balanced attack, get into the box for cross, normal interceptions, stick to position, and cover wing. By having him on cover wing, he stays a bit wider than he would normally, but I really play one touch tiki-taka and don't have any use for the outside channels. His passing is really, really nice. I think it's the vision and short passing that have been boosted by the deadeye I slapped on him. He doesn't get into many shooting opportunities, and in fact, at the time of writing this review, the only goal he scored for me was a penalty. I don't really mind that he's not banging in the goals, since he's stat padding his assists. His pace is good enough for where I play him and his dribbling is great. Defense and physical don't matter. WF isn't a problem since he's playing on the left for me and 4* skills is nice for skillers, although it should be 5*. As an Arsenal fan, I enjoy this card. Let's lay out my ratings on the stats.

Pace - 4.7/5 - Get's the job done.

Shooting - 4.2/5 - Would be higher if I shot more with him, but guessing based off my experience using gold Pepe, his shooting stats will be super nice.

Passing - 5/5 - The first 5/5 I've ever given. Mostly Arsenal bias, but it really is incredible. It must be the deadeye that boosts the vision and short pass.

Dribbling - 4.5/5 - Nice agility and balance, and for me, who doesn't dribble at all, it's good. I would slap a marksman on him if I use him on the wing.

Defending - 1/5 - Who cares?

Physicality - 4/5 - Stamina is all that matters, so a 4/5 is respectable.

Price - 4/5 - IRL it's more like a 2.5/5 but for the 95k I spent it's pretty good

Overall - 4.8/5

Got him for 44k. A complete game changer - much better than any other Prem wingers I've used for sub 300k. Good agility, good strength on take ons and feels faster than Lucas. His WF might seem problematic but Pepe is best used as an inverted winger - finesse shots feel fantastic. Passing also

not the best but..

If you have not money for Salah and you need a PL RW, he is a good player for that role. He has 2* WF but he seems like he has 4* WF.

Why did I do this?

So I am reviewing a bunch of Arsenal players after an april WL with an arsenal team, like the melon I am.However, I needed to use pepe on the LM, I decided better him then use inform Saka off chem or base Saka. I couldn't afford one of the bigger versions either unfortunately. But he was actually pretty good.As he is pretty close to the meta I will review him as such.
