90 - Icon

3.5

Del Piero's mid is mid

By wansheetdoesplenty, 21-12-2022

Div 4 player - if that disqualifies my opinion in your eyes feel free to move on now...

Got him in an icon pack and wasn't sure how to feel, 5* wf (cool), 85 pace (probably not quite enough for ST), so maybe at CAM? Okay that works, good base dribbling, decent agility, balance not great - passing needs a boost probably an engine.

I've played 50 games with him in that CAM position (20 goals, 24 assists) with either an engine or a hawk on him and it's hard to make him feel elite - there's always something that cheaper cards you can probably access have over him.

His dribbling doesn't deliver what it promises - probably a body type issue

His shooting with a hawk is good from range, but he still doesn't finish super clinically

His pace, while not bad, isn't paired with elite strength or dribbling so top class midfield destroyer types like Vieira or Rabiot etc will eat him up

His passing is fine but not insane

Anyway in sum, not super impressed have benched him for showdown Depay (I love skills) with Depay playing wide and Messi (gold) in CAM.'

Messi gold is literally better at everything I would recommend just using him.

to make one stat elite (e.g. shooting) you are losing out on others sadly (passing, dribbling, or pace)

8/10 shooting - 5* wf obviously nice, decent-to-good longshots (with hawk) - Messi gold better though and if you want him ST, I've found Kean POTM to be more clinical.

Links - decent I guess.

7/10 dribbling - worse than Corona Purple card, Depay Showdown etc significantly (nowhere near neymar, messi, vini, etc)

7/10 pace - not bad, not great, too slow given body type and lack of strength (i.e. can't make up for it with a Socrates type frame for example)

7/10 passing - didn't notice for better or worse really.

Price - just not a 250k card in this market.

Mid Del Piero - WL closer!

One of my favorite players all time, and this card is no joke. This is the first card I have ever returned a 1+ Goal contribution per game across a single weekend league and its not a coincidence either. His shooting, passing and dribbling were excellent, but I did struggle with his physicality a little bit. I think he is a bargain on the market, but there are also a ton of really good Striker options that could be cheaper ...
