Top notch CAM
By SkaugTV, 24-01-2023

I've been saving up coins with the view to get a top class player into my team during TOTY and after seeing Pele drop down to 2.6 mill i decided to pick him up for my team as my new star man. I play him as my central CAM in a 4231 on a hawk in a strong untradeable team featuring his buddy Jairzinho and others that serve as an excellent supporting cast to the star man. I've played him mainly in the weekend league and div rivals, helping me to a decent 15-5 weekend with some heartbreaking losses in the final two matches.


He has amassed a total of 37 appearances, scoring 33 goals and assisting another 27. for me this is the best return I've ever had from a CAM over this many games. On the ball he fells very smooth and gives opponents nightmares in tight spaces, especially coming short for corners or in other ways by the touchline.

his passing is top notch, My Origi (incredible RAM) has benefited greatly from Pele's ability to find him on the wing and my play across the front 4 has been greatly improved from Pele's predecessor WW Lacazette.

His shooting is usually very clean, but he has had some moments with some strange misses. But that might be due to me not timing my shots most of the time or the randomness of FIFA

His pace feels really good in tight spaces, but I feel like he doesn't quite live up to the 96 pace on his card (Lengthy Origi on a marksman is much faster) in straight sprints against defenders. This might just be due to him being an explosive player.

Even though i say his speed and shooting can both be a bit iffy at times, that is in the context of him being one of the best icons in the game with some of the highest stats. he's still really quick and good in front of goal.

When it comes to his physicality you don't really think much about it, he feels neither strong nor weak. big CBs get the ball from him, but they get it from anyone regardless. he's also not great in the air due to height mattering a lot.


In closing I would also like to highlight that he feels really fun to have. Not many people are running Pele in their team, and he feels like you have a very special card. He's also great at freekicks, but i have WC Stoichkov at LAM on FK duty due to his power FK trait, so Pele has only gotten two attempts for me, scoring one of them. I would say Pele is a great option if you're looking for a CAM and the rest of your team is already strong. I don't think there's many better players you could get

Pelé the king
By KoolMoeD, 08-04-2023

After i got extremely lucky with a store pack, i very happily decided to add this legend to my team, and i definitely was not disappointed with him. He scores every game, and his dribbling is immaculate.

SO OVERRATED
By Zoumagoated, 15-11-2022

So I bought this card hoping it would live up to its huge price tag. I was wrong. A bigger fraud in game than in real life, every shot not 6 yards away was off target and he felt slow in game.

Literally none, stay away

Maybe penalties
