Player Review
93 - Icon Moment
Andrea Pirlo was always one of my favourite players irl so I did the SBC on FUT to try him out. And he was actually a little better than I expected. I used him in nine DIV 4 Rivals games and he was really fun in the CM spot. I gave the card the shadow chemstyle and he was very helpful in terms of creating chances and being a threat from distance. I got 4 outside the box goals with him in these games (the 98 curve really helps) and 2 more easy goals from inside the box. I was also able to win chances by just taking long shots and getting cornes from the saves when I was in a situation where it was difficult to break through a defence. He was also able to get some good tackles in and help a bit in defense, but not really as much as the best box-to-box players, he liked being a little more offensive. The team I used him in was a 5-2-1-2 with join the attack on my fullbacks. He played CM on all default instructions.
-Dangerous Long shots + Freekicks
-Brilliant at Passing + Corners
-Positioning, almost always open when you need an option while building an attack
-Dribbling feels good, doesn't feel heavy at all or too slow
-5 star skills
-98 curve makes his shooting very effective, barley misses and can finish the chances he needs too
-Stamina isn't the best
-Pace is ok but you can't run with him for too long he might get caught
-Rather weak, often looses the ball when tackled by strong CDMs and CBs
-Not very good at headers
-A little lazy defensivley, sometimes hangs around a little to far forward for a CM but that can be fixed with instructions or could be useful in a diffrent formation
