The Cost
This SBC is priced around 480,000 coins and requires 9 squads to complete. As he’s not very expensive SBC, I can see him being completed a lot, because fodder required for him should be obtainable over the course of this SBC. Apart from 2nd playstyle to add to his Long Ball+, he also got a massive pace upgrade, defending upgrade and shooting upgrade. It’s completely different card that now fits a lot of teams.
Here’s the breakdown of the cards you’ll have to use to complete 9 squads for this SBC:
3x TOTW cards
2x 89 rated card
7x 88 rated cards
14x 87 rated cards
3x 86 rated cards
And 48 cards rated between 81 and 85
On paper a lot of people will be able to afford this SBC, especially with how common 84 rated cards are. After comparing him to other SBCs that’s been recently released – it’s nicely priced and very doable SBC.
Breaking Down the Squads
You’ll have to complete nine squads, here’s quick look at what each individual squad requires:
Born Legend: You’ll need full Bronze Rare Squad
Rising Star: You’ll need full Silver Rare Squad
On a Loan: You’ll need 82 rated squad.
Il Maestro: You’ll need 84 rated squad, with a player from Juventus and 1 TOTW Player.
Squadra Azzurra: You’ll need 85 rated squad with 1 player from Italy and 1 TOTW Player.

Top Notch: You’ll need 86 rated squad with 1 TOTW Player.
87-Rated Squad: You’ll need an 87 rated squad.
88-Rated Squad: You’ll need an 88 rated squad.
You’ve got 2 Months to complete this SBC, which is usual time period for an Icon SBC, so you’ll for sure should take your time and complete Pirlo over this period and not rush him. Unless you want him straight into your squad.
Is it worth it?
It’s understandable, if you want to rush Pirlo straight into your squad. On paper he looks like fantastic card. Good pace, good shooting, amazing passing and dribbling, even solid defending! He’s one of the best CMs in game, he has great stamina and there are no downsides on this card apart from his height.
He has pretty good playstyle with Long Ball + and also Dead Ball Specialist + too, if you can utilize it, he has one of the better free-kicks in this game too. As an additional bonus, he has nearly every midfield role on a ++ rating, so you can utilize him however you want.
I think he’s worth it. I gotta say big props to EA for making Pirlo very usable card. I think, if you use him in 4-2-1-3 alongside with proper box-to-box he’ll be very good for you. It’s very fair valued SBC for a mid-range budget, so I recommend you completing him over time.
