Pros

Good Pace & Transitions

Pirlo is surprisingly quick in gameplay. He tracks back efficiently, covers ground well during transitions, and moves into open spaces quickly when needed.

Elite Passing & Tempo Control

Arguably one of the best passers in the game. From long switches to sharp short passes under pressure, Pirlo rarely misplaces a pass. He dictates tempo, unlocks defenses, and keeps attacks flowing smoothly.

Effective as CDM

He can operate comfortably as a CDM as well. His 4★ weak foot adds reliability when passing or shooting from either side, making him dependable in deeper midfield roles.

Top-Class Playmaker

Controls the rhythm of the game from deep positions. Excellent in buildup play and chance creation, constantly pulling the strings with precise and intelligent passing.

Agile & Smooth on the Ball

Very agile for a central midfielder. Quick turns, feints, and directional changes allow him to evade pressing opponents easily. He feels smooth and composed when gliding past defenders.

Excellent Ball Control & Balance

Keeps possession well even under heavy pressure. His close control and balance make him a reliable outlet when retaining the ball in tight situations.

Long Shot Threat

Capable of scoring from range with clean, powerful strikes. His long shots add an extra scoring threat from deep midfield areas.

5★ Skill Moves

The 5★ skill rating gives him creative freedom. He can execute advanced skill moves smoothly, adding unpredictability to his midfield play.

Strong Stamina

Lasts around 70-80 minutes with minimal drop in performance. Maintains high energy levels deep into matches, including extended play.

Reliable Defensive Contribution

Positioning allows him to intercept passes and make timely tackles. While not aggressive, he’s smart and effective defensively. Drops back rapidly during counters, closes passing lanes, and stabilizes the midfield to prevent dangerous breakthroughs.

Elite Set-Piece Ability

An excellent free-kick taker with a great mix of power and curve. Also effective when delivering balls into the box from set pieces.

High Tactical Adaptability

Contributes both offensively and defensively without neglecting either role. His positioning and intelligence allow seamless role transitions.

Useful Midfield Traits

Traits like Flair, Long Shot Taker, Long Passer, and Play maker enhance his creativity, vision, and attacking output.

Cons

Lower Physicality

Not physically dominant. He can be overpowered in aggressive duels, especially against strong midfielders or during aerial challenges.

Average Finishing for a CM

While capable of long shots, his finishing inside the box isn’t as strong as some top CM options.

Conclusion

Pirlo is a midfield maestro built for control, creativity, and intelligent play. His elite passing, smooth dribbling, set-piece ability, and tactical awareness make him one of the best playmakers in FC Mobile. While physical duels and box finishing are minor drawbacks, his overall influence on the game is immense, especially for possession-based and control-oriented playstyles.

Rating: 9.7/10
