Player Review
87 - FUT Future Stars
Pedro G. has been one of the biggest surprises I've had in Ultimate Team in years. I know at this point his sbc has passed and you either have him or you don't but for those who have him, or have a possibility to do it again if EA brings his sbc back, I'd advise you to pay attention to this guy. While not being the tallest, or the fastest or the strongest, Pedro G. will always bring something to the game. I've played him mainly on two positions, RCM in a 5-3-2 and CM in 4-5-1, and let me say he's always surpassed my expectations. Here's the deal Pedro Gonçalves ain't one of those players to spam upfront waiting for him to be a deadly scorer, this guy is only perfect for two main roles. Either you play him as a regular center mid that has fast players around him or you play him as a defensive center mid (don't worry he can do everything defensively, sometimes he almost feels like Kante). What this card can bring for you is hard to describe, he is a small, rapid (not pacey), steady dribbling, engine essentially... and you basically insert him into your midfield. He'll be perfect playing as a mainly defensive minded midifelder and will always add when upfront. One of the major surprises of this card is how much he's capable of scoring in all situations. He's scored all types of goals for me, from skill filled runs into the area to amazing long shots. He's one of those players that the ball sticks to like it's glitched almost, oh and he's amazingly strong taking balls from attackers. He's a player to use when you feel like your midfield is just a bunch of uncoordinated gazelles and you need someone to organize it. There's an issue in linking him but I never played him at 10 chem anyway, he's been playing at 7-8 chem at a really high level of consistency.
Ball Control (Magnetic touch)

Shooting (Not insane but capable of any shot)
Defending
Luck (he's really fortunate both defending and attacking)
Links (still great at 7-8 chem)
Height (fights headers hard though)
