Fraudulent?

By JuhoCo, 17-01-2022

Pele was one of my favourite players in FIFA 21 as I packed his prime untradeable from a swaps player pick. I couldn't believe it when I packed him from my first mid icon pack this year. I was finally reunited with my beloved Pele and went into Champs thinking that I'd finally got a hold of a true gamechanger of a card.

I play in DIV1 and Champs and after using him in various positions, chemstyles and formations for 65 games I still can't seem to get along with this card at all. I think he's a better CAM than ST and In my opinion he doesn't play like his stats and price would suggest. I really really want to like and get along with this card but I simply can not recommend him as he does feel a bit fraudulent for me.

Great passing

5*skills feel very nice

Decent heading

Very weak

Gets caught up to and pushed of the ball easily

Doesn't feel as fast and agile as the stats would suggest.

Lacks that instant burst of pace

Doesn't have the x-factor like Mbappe

Doesn't have a consistent shot.

second best ST in the game

Arguably the second best ST in the game after obviously R9. I think that Pele is better for a lot of non-pro players though because it is so easy to create chances with him. The only reason I value R9 higher than him is his 5* WF and higher Shotpower. Pele dribbling and pace is amazing. Whenever this guy is on the ball you know that he is different. He feels considerably faster than Mbappe, more agile than Neymar and perfor...

Pelé

Underwhelming

I packed him out the Base/Mid and was so happy, never have I had packed a top-tier icon. My expectation was high for the KING, his stats looked phenomenal surely he would play amazing? Unfortunately, he was extremely underwhelming, mainly due to his strength and running animation. I play with weak players such as Insigne who plays amazing, but Pele in-game gets shoved off the ball so much with ease. I really wanted this car...
