FUT Captian Marcelo - Living Legend

By ravens17d, 19-04-2022

Pulled FUT Captain Marcelo from one of the Daily SBC reward packs. He started out as a RB for me but after a few games I ended up switching to a 3-5-2 and trying him at both CDM and LM. He made for a pretty solid midfielder, but I wanted to bolster the wingbacks with the best players possible since that's the position I tend to focus on the most. He was absolutely killer there because he can take advantage of his LB roots, and has the offensive capability to be a dangerous LM and LW. In my 10 games I constantly found him making absurd runs wide and starting attacks, but he rarely found himself finishing them or delivering the final pass. Part of that is because I was so excited to try him that he was the one carrying it up and not really having the chance to make off ball runs into space. He is going to have plenty of time to figure it out since he will be in my team through the rest of the games life!

Pace - Small and agile, he is an absolute demon on the pitch. He can cover box to box in seconds.

Passing - Really reliable and could definitely play CM if needed. 5 Star weak foot really makes him dangerous on either side of the field too.

Dribbling - this is his real money maker, and I actually found myself struggling with it because it was more exact than I am used to. Five Star skills is immense also and his animations with it are crisp and beyond quick.

Defense - he jumps skill moves and bodies smaller wingers. Always left like he was ready to take an interception the other way for a goal at any given time.

Physicals- perfect amount of aggression and physical ability. His height and size make him difficult to handle, and the Afro is beautiful to watch take over the pitch.

-His price is an issue. If you have the coin to spend, 1.1m isn't far off what he's worth. There are just other options that will provide 70% of his production for about a 10th of the price. He is without a doubt a luxury card and I would have never even tried getting him if I didn't pull him untradeable.

-Physically speaking he too small to bang with the big strikers in the game, but that was never his game so if you avoid those types of matchups you'll be fine.

Amazing player

I wanted to buy a player with 5wf and 5sm to play CAM in 4-2-3-1. I really wanted Neymar second inform ,but I saw this Gullit Gang monster and I instantly bought him. I only played him as a ST in 4-2-2-2 and CAM in 4-2-3-1, and even in these positions he made some exceptional interceptions. And please don't play him as a Left Back because he can play a bigger role in your team.

Bonky Card

would have much preferred to see the EOAE card design on this, but shapeshifters will do. Due to the low defensive WR, CDM isnt the best fit for him, I played him RAM in a 4-2-2-2 and he was insane, the unique body type helped with dribbling, 5* WF let him play amazing over the top through balls, and the 5* SM let him beat defenders and 90% of the time whip one into the top left. Defensively he was a beast as...

MARCELO the goat

I packed Marcelo out of a 85+x10 and i was gassed. i managed to fit him into my team and he is cracked. i play him at teh central midfielder in a 4321 formation and he is one of the best midfielders i have ever used. in the midfield i pair him up with pedri and coutinho and one of my favourite midfield trios i have ever used. He is a beast.
