I absolutely love this card, it is extremely fun to play with. His passing is just sublime and the dribbling is excellent. This card is great for assists - for me he gets an assist almost every game. Without a chemistry style, his pace is average, but with a hunter he does feel reasonably quick. Shooting is also good but is even better with a hunter. The shooting stat may seem quite average at first, but in game I have scored some beautiful outside of the box finesse shots. His penalties and free kicks are also absolutely fantastic. Five star skills combined with his high dribbling stats make for an excellent combo.

My only complaints about this Pirlo card are his defending and physical. Strength is quite low, meaning that he does get bodied off the ball (but this can be prevented if you are quick enough with him). Defending stats are bang average but I play him with two other more defensive-orientated midfielders, so this doesn't matter too much. I would recommend a hunter or any other chemistry style that increases pace and/or shooting for this card. I don't really think there is any point applying one which increases defending or physicality as he is not a very defensive player and those stats are already quite low, so even with a chemistry style they won't be that good. I also see lots of comments on Futbin complaining that he does not have 99 passing. The only reason it isn't 99 is because he has 92 crossing but apart from that all other passing stats are actually insanely high.

Overall, I think this is an excellent card. It is extremely fun to use and has absolutely fantastic passing and dribbling as well as very good shooting. I packed him untradeable so obviously I was not hit with the high price tag. However, I can say with absolute certainty that if you are willing to spend the money and want to have a really solid, fun to use card, then go ahead and buy him.

So this is my first review and I think this is a god damn good player to do it on. I play a 41212(2) in game with what if odegaard fut birthday kondogbia and cdm moments tonali. I didn't love tonali in cm but I wanted kondogbia in cdm because of his longshots and his strength. then yesterday EA release this moments pirlo who fits perfectly into my team. Most of my team is 5 star skills and I play the game to enjoy it so that's why I did him (no mendy varane gomez).

I used his loan first to make sure I liked him because I didn't want to waste my fodder and coins. But holy crap did he play. I played him lcm where he linked with joao palacio and owen. His passing is the best I have used this game. He glides on the ball and his dribbling is beyond reality with his 5 star skills and swiftness. and his longshots are pure peaches. for his loan in futchamps i had the record of 5 goals 3 assists in 3 games, 4 outside of the box finesses. 100% need to do this card. In my opinion, he needs a hawk. The hawk boosts his long shots and his shot power, makes him feel faster, and helps his strength. The only thing I would fix is his workrates. He's sometimes not where I need him to be on attack and defense.

• I packed him untradeable on friday just before I start to play my WL games. I chose to test him in place of Bruno Fernandes 1st POTM, cause he is one of my midfield idols. He has done well creating plays and finding passes that doesnt seem even possible, but the stamina is too bad for a CM (I always had to bench him after 65'). His shooting isn't bad but its far away of being perfect (80% of goals scored outside of the box). His dribbling is very nice and 5* makes difference to create space. Talking about defending, even with shadow, he isnt good, maybe related to the physicality problem. With 56 aggression and 68 strenght, he is only capable to intercept balls in the middle, nothing like body marking.

• I used him as CM (442) with shadow, but I think the best Pirlo's experience is using him with hunter ou engine, as a CAM or CM that doesnt really needs to take care of defending.

• Believe me guys, his maket value is crazy and sadly doesnt worth the price (talking about meta and gameplay). **BUT** if he is one of your idols, and (or) you dont care about meta gaming, he still not worthing! Prime moments cards are on hype and it will go down in a few weeks. SO WAIT FOR IT

Probably the best partner to a defensive midfielder there is for under 200k. The man does everything very well, stick a shadow on him and you wont need to do anything. He partnered Essien for 30+ games and was never outshone by anyone and pocketed most players he came up against, 98 acuna, pogba 95 etc ect.

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
