93 - Icon Moment
I needed a box to box midfielder, in a 41212(2) formation, capable of getting easely out of pressure, and being very good with the ball. Plus, he needed to have good passing because my cdms were losing to much balls because of their weak passing.
Then, I saw Pirlo was an SBC, for his moments. He is worth nothing, the hardest challenge is an 86 rated squad, they are 6 challenges in total, and 2 of them are silver an bronze teams. If you hesitate doing him, do it, he is one of the best sbc i dud this year, with dybala moments, reus fut birthday and klaiber (which i use as a rb don't worry).
He helped me so much, incredible with the ball, you love to use the 5 star skill moves. Try hocus pocus with him, works perfectly.
I also really loved his free kick accuracy, he is insane in game, just like in real life.
His passing is perfect, sometimes when he passed the ball and did a strange pass, I was thinking "not to him!!" but out of nowhere it was a perfect pass to my attacker.
Finally, when he scores, you love to see that image appear on the screen...
If you hesitate, do him, my advice
- passing : No surprise his best attribute is the passing. He is the king of passing. I am using a 41212 and playing him as a CM, so his passing is a big benefit.
- dribbling : Some might say 85 agility and 80 balance isn't enough... Those are meta babies, playing in a 532 with fullbacks at cb. He is perfect in composure, dribbling and any other. I didn't feel he "only" had 85 agility. Plus, the 5 star skill move are perfect for him.
- shooting : Espacially finishing, never missed an 1v1.
- Physical : It's his only weak point. I do not mind pace or defending because i am using shadow on him. But he has horrible physical stats, especially strenght. If your oponent has viera, dont use pirlo to try take him the ball
- stamina : 85 stamina for a box to box midfielder isnt enough
