Got the card for the sentimental value since I played Fifa for far too long:)
He feels very nice in game, tried both with Hunter and Engine, and Engine is by far the preferred style. Why not Hawk? Just wanted to see what his max shooting felt like, use hawk if you like.
He finishes 95% of the chances, 90 if the keeper is broken. His short passing feels quite good, haven't encountered any issues with it. I pair him up top with SS Ben Yedder, since I do feel he is most effective when paired with an agile speedster. Yedder creates, Pato finishes. As simple as that.
His heading is very good as well, and he does not get bodied by defenders easily.
AI runs are quite nice, he makes the runs when they are truly necessary, and not like other high/low strikers that just run as quickly as they can to the opposition's box. Probably better suited for the slower buildup playstyle, not the R1 through ball.
Even though he has 4* WF, it does feel more of a 4.5. Unless you shoot from an absurd angle with his left foot, it will be on target. His finesse shots are nice inside the box, outside of it haven't had too much luck yet, but I mainly use Coutinho for those, so not a big issue.
In conclusion, he is quite similar to FB Benzema, slightly higher pace, but worse dribbling. If you missed out on him and can fit him in, go for it, you won't be dissapointed. Also, he should get an in-game face soon, so that Maguire looking fridge will finally disappear from the celebration animation. Definitely pair with an agile striker and use as a target man. Have fun and good luck in the upcoming WL lads:)

I Saw this Card Leaked and Started Stacking up fodder just in case he was gonna be expensive. It turns out he was cheaper than I thought! So i decided to complete him and Play Him in ST in a 4-2-2-2 With Salah POTM as the other ST. I am Playing With Him With a Hawk In Division 2
OMG he is Lethal! His Finishing is incredible, He Feels so Smooth with the ball and his work rates H/L Are Incredible as well. Its obviously frustrating without the 5* SM Because that would of topped the card even more but 4* is still fine
So Far i Have Played 5 Games, Scored 12 and Assisted 3
His Stamina Is Fine, Lasts Most of the game, Strength is Really solid.
If You want a Really Fun Card to Use, I'd 100% Recommend this card and in general

Lets get one thing straight, he is not Mbappé. BUT, to the people who say "He's clunky" or "he misses everything" are not telling the truth in my opinion. I have used Pato in 20 div 1 and Elite games and he racked up a decent 27 goals. (yes, he helped me get elite). His finishing is phenomenal for me and it feels like 5-star weakfoot. long shots are not the best but when he gets close enough. WOW. In the 27 goals, 10 of them went bar down. At the same time, he is RAPID. I have no idea where people get idea that he is clunky. He will zoom past defenders and alway find a place to land the ball in the top corner.
However, he is not as fast as players like Mbappé, WW Moura, Felix, etc. One problem that I did find was that he gets trampled a lot. his physical feels worse than is. You need him to get around defenders without getting bodied because 80% of the time, he will belly flop the pitch. That might be where people get clunky from. Just him falling over. Make sure you know how to dribble before getting him passing is ok. nothing too crazy. He gets the job done. But overall, to the people saying he is terrible. try him again. and im writing this when I played him beside FB Benzema. He is great. Little bit disappointed with no 5 SSS but regardless, what a fun card. I. recommend him to people who love pato, can fit him, and who aren't boring. He is DEEEEECENT

Considering that he is 140k he is very good. His finishing is top class and the strength is decent. He feels similar to benzema in game. For the price the players like alasandrini and Morales are just as good or maybe slightly better. But if you have fodder and can link him without spending coins its a must do.

Once I saw this card was leaked, I went ahead and prepared my team for the arrival of Pato. This card brings back all the nostalgia of Fifa 11 and Fifa 12 with the teams alongside Ibra, Ronaldinho and Jovetic. Just a shame he doesn't have the 5* skills, but he makes up for it.
I was very very very lucky to pack Mid R9 in my 2nd Base to Mid Icon Pack. So I've always been ready for Pato with that green link, alongside WW Coutinho as well. All the games I've played has been either Rivals (Div1) or Champs and he's out performed R9 in a lot of them, although R9 still produces his magic alongside him. Pato, R9 and Coutinho are a great trio.
Pace - 9/10. His acceleration seems to be incredible, if there's a gap to break through, just tap that right stick that way and he's gone. No one has yet to catch him once he's broken through, not many cards can say that.
Shooting - 10/10. He is so clinical, I feel like once I'm through 1on1, I just can't miss. I've scored some insane goals, just messing about with him and he's actually scored them. One example, was a acrobatic effort from a very tight angle that somehow snuck in.
Passing - 8/10. His link up play with R9 and Coutinho is very good, his high short passing stat (87) aids this. Cute little 1-2s around the edge of the box are pretty much effortless.
Dribbling - 9/10. I use the Finisher chem style with Pato, to boost his agility, balance and dribbling. So for me, his dribbling is very good. His 99 agility is very noticeable, and this aids his acceleration in being able to just fly away from defenders with ease. The skill moves are very quick and effortless too, there's not often a time where he gets stuck after doing a skill, like with some players.
Defending - N/A. Irrelevant.
Physical - 8/10. Going to give this an 8, because his jumping is class, for someone who is 5'9. He out jumps a lot of players, he just hangs in the air to meet the ball. His strength (86) is also pretty noticeable. He can hold the ball up fairly well, against the obvious monsters, Koulibaly, VVD and co, he can get overpowered predictably easy some times. But he'll buy you enough time to just trap it and lay it off somewhere else. Most wingbacks he won't have an issue with, strength wise. Stamina wise. I haven't had to sub him off at all really. I know he has 80 stamina, but he doesn't seem to get overly affected by this, I don't know if its just the H/L work-rate that keeps up front and he doesn't come back to defend at all, which isn't an issue.
Pace - Seems very quick, will fly away from most players.
Shooting - Doesn't really seem to miss for me, in the box is very clinical. Outside the box, can be hit or miss, but who isn't.
Passing - Solid, link up play with others is good.
Dribbling - Agility and dribbling are both very good. Help to get that extra bit of space for a shot.
Physical - Strong enough to hold players off, great in the air and stamina isn't an issue.
4* skills, there are enough 4* skills to enjoy this card more.
4* weak foot, very solid. Will score great goals with both feet.
Honestly can't think of a bad thing to say about Pato. Whether it's just the nostalgic bias, I'm not sure. But I've had some serious fun with this card. Can't see me trading him out for anyone in the foreseeable future.
I am from Brazil and since a little kid I have watched this guy and always loved the way he plays. Its a shame that he could not reach his potencial, but he is a player that every OG Fifa player likes and that's why I decided to do his sbc. Bro.. this dude is completely insane! I have benched cr7 and build a full low budget Brazilian squad. I am playing the 3rd division with a very bad team and this guy is glowing like old times. He is fast, agile and has a decent pass, but his shooting is AMAZING. I am using hawk on him and everything goes inside the goal. I see no deficiencies in this guy. He can create and finish plays. Just give him a chance, I know that he is hard to link, but its worthy.
