EA FC 25 Andrea Piro Future Stars Icon SBC: Review
As mentioned earlier, the Andrea Pirlo Future Stars Icon SBC card possesses all elite-tier attributes, making it one of the most sought-after items in the current EA FC 25 meta. The midfield maestro features Dead Ball+ and Long Ball Pass+ PlayStyle traits.
On top of that, Pirlo possesses other basic PlayStyles such as Incisive Pass, First Touch, Quick Step, and more, making him an ideal choice to control the midfield area on the virtual pitch. While Dead Ball+ allows him to perform dead-accurate shots during set pieces, the Long Ball Pass+ PlayStyle lets him provide precise aerial passes.
Even though Pirlo can outperform the opponent's players as a CM, his 86 Physicality and 94 Passing can surely make him a good deep-lying playmaker to exploit his long ball passes. To sum it up, the Andrea Pirlo Future Stars Icon SBC is certainly worth completing.
