Pizarro Player Review
Pros
Excellent pace
Pizarro has solid speed that lets him break defensive lines and make sharp forward runs. His initial burst is good enough to escape pressure, and he maintains steady momentum while carrying the ball.
Strong shooting ability
He can strike the ball cleanly from inside and around the box. His shots feel powerful and direct, giving him a reliable edge when he finds space in the final third.
Good finishing
Inside the penalty area, Pizarro is quite dependable. He converts one-on-one chances well and stays composed under pressure, making him a trustworthy scorer when provided service.
Great ball control and dribbling
His close control is impressive. He keeps the ball tight to his feet even when defenders close him down, and his dribbling has a smooth, natural flow that helps him maneuver out of tight pockets.
Decent body feints and agility
He can execute simple feints effectively, and his agility is decent enough to shift directions when needed. While not the most explosive mover, he can still create space with quick turns.
6.0 height and strong physical presence
Pizarro has a very solid frame. He holds off defenders well, stays balanced in challenges, and feels stable during body duels. This physicality adds a different dimension to his attacking play.
Reliable passing and build-up involvement
His short passing and link-up play are dependable. He combines well with teammates and helps maintain smooth attacking transitions, especially in crowded central zones.
Cons
4* weak foot
At striker this can limit him in tight finishing angles, especially on first-time shots or quick turns inside the box.
No special traits
He lacks the traits that elevate top attackers, making him feel more basic compared to higher-tier alternatives.
4* stamina
His stamina can drop quickly, especially in fast-paced matches or when constantly making runs. He becomes noticeably less effective toward the final stages.
Not a standout card compared to the meta
While he is good, there are many forwards who currently offer better pace, traits, agility, or more complete finishing. He doesn't feel truly exceptional at this level.
Target Forward skill point isn’t ideal
This skill point reduces his acceleration and agility impact. He would benefit more from a skill point that boosts his movement and responsiveness, as the current setup slightly limits his explosiveness.
Conclusion
Pizarro is a well-rounded striker with strong shooting, good physicality, and smooth ball control, but he lacks traits, elite stamina, and top-tier agility. While reliable, he doesn’t stand out compared to many current attacking options and feels limited by his skill point setup.
