99 ICON Pele Attribute

  • Pace (96): Very fast with explosive acceleration. Not as quick as Mbappé, but extremely agile.
  • Shooting (99): Inconsistent finishing. His right foot is reliable, his left foot can miss, and his shot power is limited.
  • Passing (95): Excellent for short and long passes, with great vision and the ability to filter balls through. Ideal as a CAM or second striker.
  • Dribbling (97): His best attribute. Close control, balance, and agility allow him to easily overcome defenders. His Technical Dribble style makes him very fun to use.
  • Physicality (87): Adequate, but not dominant. Decent stamina, but lacks the strength to prevail against stronger defenders.

    FC 25 99 Icon Pele Player Review

The 99-rated Pele SBC in FC 25 is one of the most popular challenges for Ultimate Team players, allowing the opportunity to add a genuine football star to your team. This ICON, priced at roughly 280,000 FUT coins, is surprisingly affordable when compared to other endgame SBCs, making him available to many players looking for a high-rated and skilled choice. Pele is popular for his outstanding dribbling and agility, which allow him to easily glide past defenders. His close control, balance, and advanced dribbling technique make him highly enjoyable to use, especially in tight spaces or when navigating through many opponents. In addition to dribbling, Pele excels in passing. His short and long distribution, along with incredible vision, allows him to create chances with ease, making him a perfect CAM or secondary striker in most of Ultimate Team setups.

Pele, on the other hand, has some drawbacks: his shooting can be inconsistent, especially with his weaker left foot, and his shot power can sometimes feel underwhelming for a player of his rating. Physically, he lacks the strength of modern top-tier attackers, which can make holding off defenders more difficult. As a result, he may not be the best option for those looking for a main striker who consistently finishes every chance. Pele shines when used as a creative

Overall, the 99 Pele SBC is worth completing if you enjoy skill-heavy, creative play. While he may not be the ultimate goal scorer, his dribbling, passing, and iconic presence bring immense value to any Ultimate Team squad. For fans of flair and football history, Pele is a must-have addition to finish off your FC 25 experience on a high note.

Recommended for:

  • Players who love skill moves, flair, and dribbling.
  • FUT managers who prefer a creative CAM or second striker over a pure finisher.
  • Fans who want to add Pele's iconic name to their club before FC 26.
