Player Review
90 - Icon
First of all I need to say I've always been a huge fan of Pirlo so I wanted to try him out since I never have had the money before. This year though I experienced pack luck for the first time in 9 years of playing fifa when I packed Mane on the first day. After some trading I was able to afford my guy and decided to buy him. I actually bought the baby before, and tried this card before selling both since I could make profit off of them. So when I had the money to make a team that included mid Pirlo I decided to try him out.
I played to win: I didn't try to get his stats up or to overly involve Pirlo unneccesarily. These are genuine stats based off regular gameplay
He played really well. His passes are just exquisite, he feels very very composed, nothing fazes him.
In the formation I used I switch to 41212 and play with the front triangle of Immobile (11G, 4A), Pirlo and Chiesa (8G, 6A).
He impressed me so much I'm probably gonna keep him till the prime or moments comes, and I want to pair him up with his friend Gattuso just for gags.
- Long shots - his finesse shot is the best one I've used so far, but also his driven shots are actually really good (far post OP)
- Free kicks - Don't think this need explanation
- Corners - Literally every single one's exactly on target and got some assists.
- Passing - Tiki Taka, Long through balls, it doesn't matter, this guy can do it all
- Defending, I played him as a CAM on stay forward, so his defending presence wasn;t required, although he made some interceptions and good tackles, I bet he's fine as a cm with shadow, but would't recommend him as a cdm.
- Dribbling - I'm not a skiller at all, I love to play simple quick passing game, and he fit that well, I bet he's fine for people who love to skill, but at times he felt a bit weak on the ball (I guess it's more the fact I can't dribble than the player itself)
