83 - Rare
I packed an untradeable Marcelo and Diego Carlos so I decided to put him into my team and sell my Alaba and Alphonso Davies. I play a mix of online and squad battles and have around 40-50 games with him at this point, he is very solid as a LB and I have shadow on him to boost his pace and defending which is noticeably better with the chem style on. Having used Davies, Reguilon, Telles and some others I think Marcelo is just as good if not better than all of them. I find CB's more important this FIFA anyway but as a full back he definitely does the job.
I use stay back when attacking, but when he does go up his biggest strength is dribbling - the 5 star skills and his high agility make him very hard to tackle and his pass is good enough to feed through my forwards. His agility and balance make him a great defender for me, his pace may lack if you don't have shadow on but in the 1 vs. 1 situations that agility allows him to turn on the spot and tackle most players.
He's cheap, Brazilian and easy to get into your squad. If you don't want to spend too much on a LB he is a perfect fit.

Slide and stand tackle
Long Passing
Stamina could be a bit more so I can take him forward
