89 - FUT Centurions

If Kante and Pirlo had a child
By Simson2405, 16-01-2023

I´m saving all my "good" packs for toty, so I was really surprised when he hopped out of a 2x80+ Players pack from some objective.

I benched baby Vieira to try him and he hasn´t left my starting 11 since.

The main thing you can say about him is, you get exactly what you would expect when looking at his stats.

With a shadow he is super quick, great dribbling and passing, solid defending just lacks the size and strenght when you compare him to the likes of Vieira/Gullit/Yaya etc.

If you play him alongside a bigger playertype in your midfiled (I´m using PTG Milinkovic-Savic) he´s gonna be one of the best stay back CM/CDMs you can play.

With a 530k pricetag by the time of this review he is on the more expensive side, but seeing how he performs for me i would say he is worth the price.

Also as an italian PSG player he is fairly easy to link. 80-90% of the teams I face in Champs have Mbappe and Maldini. Those two alone with another Ligue1 player or manager and you already got him on 3 chem.

  • 93 pace with 99 acceleration (Shadow) is far more than you could ask for on a CM/CDM he´s the definition of rapid
  • Passing like Pirlo: 90+ in Vision, long Passing, short Passing and Cruve combined with the 5*WF are close to perfection
  • Dribbling is exactly what you think it would be if you look at those stats. 90+ everything is literally TOTS/TOTY level
  • Defense is very good just lacks a little bit of strenght and has a really small ingame build
  • Shooting is pretty mid, but I don´t mind because I use him as a stay back 6
  • as i told already his defense is really solid but because of his low strenght and small bulid of course he gets pushed off the ball by the likes of Gullit/Vieira/Yaya most of the time

Just Faster, with a 5* Weakfoot
By NRCRHC, 20-01-2023

I've always liked Verrati special cards and really wanted to like this card. I played about 20 games with this guy in Rivals. Div 3. His FB was one of my fav cards last year. Unfortunately, this card just is not it.


Having Verrati in midfield requires you to pair with bigger more physical players, and he cannot really play anywhere but CM or CDM IMO. Without chem boosts, his passing and ball control are elite but his defending lets him down is subpar for a CDM...so you will have to chem boost his defending.


Of course he can get open due to his dribbling, but then you have to shooting which is dreadful for a 500k midfielder, at this time of the cycle. No finesse trait and his longshots are terrible. He does have outside the foot trait for trivelas, but they are not best. Of course you can chem style him with hunter or finisher, but as I said above, at CM or CDM you'll want to upgrade his defending and strength... if you do that his pace, longshots and shooting are left out.


A fun 'gimmick' card that I would like to pack and use a late game sub or for objectives, but for me he is far to flawed to have in the starting XI.
