A trip down memory lane (Alexandre Pato)
By IdaSilva, 13-01-2022

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:)

Great Price Great Card

In need of a striker, after he came out i completed this card in a heartbeat, and for only costing 80k worth of fodda, he's mad. I played 3 div rivals matches with him as a striker in a 3-5-2 in div 2 (elite div before the reset) and he impressed me very well, scoring 8 goals. I scored many different types of goals with him, including penalties, weak foot shots and strong foot shots, and his shooting was just insane. I wasn...

Pato is DEEEEEEECENT

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 ...
