91 - Icon
Kaka is most definitely the GOAT in fifa 21 and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Let start it:
First and foremost, I believe that you have to use either an Engine or Finisher on Kaka to improve his agility and balance. After you do this, Kaka goes from 'he is good' to 'HE IS A BEASSTTTT!'
I bought Kaka for around 1.35 million (was a bit impatient but you can pick him up for around 1.2 on a Tuesday). But I can say he will stay in my team for a long long time. He is probably the best attacker for a skillful, fast, dribbling playstyle. I personally played him in a 442 as a second striker next to my Mbappe (sorry) and here is my setup:
Chem: Engine (10 chem)
Main stats boost: 95 pace (97 SPRINT SPEED), 95 dribbling, 94 passing
The main reason I bought him was:
1) I had spare coins
2) I needed a solid all rounded attacker that can play literally anywhere in the final 1/3, wings, upfront or as a CAM
Kaka's all rounded stats proved him the best of the rest. Kaka is a true Brazilian and you can feel it in the game with his flair and movement. To break it down:
Pace:
Kaka with an engine becomes a pace monster. Besides Pace being META this year, as Kaka has a tall body he really does cover massive ground with his strides so you don't necessarily have to increase his pace but I used engine for other reasons and pace was a plus. With an engine he gets 95 acc and 97 sprint speed which is more than enough to outrun inspector gadget and his brother and mostly any CB in the game.
Dribbling:
MY MY MY. Like I said before, a true Brazilian! combination of his 5* skill moves, agility boost from the engine chem style and his already amazing dribbling stats he is really swift on his feet. It will be a dancing on ice episode every game. 5* skills really give him the cherry on the cake. I have gotten through the toughest defenses including the 5 at the back rats with him, his pace coupled with the skills and movement is dangerous. Don't let his height or body fool you he moves like ballerina!
Shooting:
You may have doubts that with an Engine he doesn't have the shooting boost but if you are any good at finishing you will have no problem bagging goals with this guy from anywhere inside and around the box against any keeper. His base shooting is 86 which feels like 90 in game. His weakfoot has never been a problem as everyone knows anything above a 3* is basically a 5* weakfoot this year. I personally didn't feel the need to increase his shooting stats.
Passing:
He his an assist king. His vision and passing is really accurate, with flair trait he really brings reliability. With Mbappe not being the best passer, Kaka really does all the work in the playmaking side of things but his pace allows him to nicely roll off if he had to go through on goal. The only time he will misplace a pass is if you misplace it.
Defending:
it really doesn't matter but surprisingly, due to his big body, he intercepts many balls upfront especially if you put the pressure on. I have been able to catch defenders out using Kaka so its a bonus!
Physicality:
Hahahaha, I can only laugh because this man is so fake. He has hidden strength. I cannot pin if it is due to his body type or his height but this man turns into hulk when dribbling or trying to go through defenses. He has fended off the likes of VVD and Varane with ease. He really isn't easily pushed off the ball if you are good with the sticks. As for stamina, if you overuse him he will obvs get tiered but this is only when you might give him the ball 90% of the time which should be the case in good fifa anyways. Otherwise, I only ever had to sub him off once as he was tired which was also in the 105' min.
I highly recommend this Brazilian Beast. One of the best Prime icons out there and really fun to paly with. Fits the meta too.
