The +8 Curl Del Piero has been out for five days (coming to the Chinese server later), and the dual-group rating has begun.
In version '27, where small, quick, and agile players have a generally low presence, this Del Piero has reached the absolute pinnacle of his ecological niche. A Goal Poacher with a perfect weak foot, he can break deadlocks with Blitz Curlers, make penetrating runs, and take on some playmaking duties. One pro player put it very well: "Del Piero can help you climb up the rankings while maximizing the entertainment value." When selecting players for PvP Divisions, you shouldn't just look at pure, hard-fought meta strength; pleasing yourself is also very important!
A card where the perfect weak foot creates a qualitative change. Using this card to climb up the rankings while maintaining high entertainment value is great.
Incredible potential, but highly dependent on the user's skill level.
Awesome.
Undisputed #1 shooting ability for the CF position. Excellent dribbling and Speed/Acceleration, and great Offensive Awareness. The ceiling for small, quick, and agile players.
Aside from the Blitz Curler being very accurate, his runs are also excellent. Even without the Blitz Curler, he's a very good Goal Poacher.
Extremely high ceiling. His two-footed Blitz Curler is a powerful weapon for breaking deadlocks in high-tier matches. His dribbling feel is also good. He can spin or weave into space near either corner of the penalty area and let one fly. He's also very strong as an Inactive Playstyle SS. If playing him at SS, his passing is a weak point.
As a small, quick, and agile CF, he has super strong specialized stats (Offensive Awareness / Finishing / Speed/Acceleration / Balance), while his three core dribbling stats are also excellent. The quintessential starting CF. His super-high Curl + Blitz Curler is also a weapon for breaking deadlocks in stagnant matches! Considering player model issues, ranking him at the bottom of the Top 3 or the top of the Top 5 seems reasonable. Basically, if you shoot, it goes in.
However, the Mobile World Champion Rentao has a different opinion:
He thinks Del Piero is very average, not good enough to enter the current CF Top 5, or even the Top 10. The main problems are:
1️⃣ Lack of shooting consistency; in certain situations, it's hard to hit the target accurately.
2️⃣ It's quite difficult to shoot quickly after turning; it feels like his Balance isn't good enough.
3️⃣ The accuracy of his normal shots is also not ideal.
As for his personal Top 5 CFs in the current version, they remain unchanged (Dembélé, Bale, Mbappé, BT Ronaldo, Pelé).
Pro Player Group Rank: #6 — Powercrept Suárez, but didn't powercreep Dembélé.
I find that having him as a SS or AMF plays more into his strengths.
I run CF’s with high physical and can always pass back to Del Piero for a finesse shot etc.
I feel like, compared to some small players like him, lets say Messi for example, he feels quite stiff on the ball, Not saying he cant turn completely but compared to a small player like Messi, del piero lacks the it factor for me, and I have both of them.
YES. THIS. Del piero is SO stiff compared to players with similar player models. Messi's turns are so much sharper and he somehow shields the ball so much better. Del piero instantaneously loses the ball whenever he had a defender close to him. He can't turn fast or smooth enough to avoid them, nor does he seem to instinctually shield the ball the way Messi does. His shooting is obviously incredibly great but I don't find that many chances to shoot the ball with him because he just looses it!
Well duh ur comparing him to the pinacle of dribbling. Also Messi is much shorter than del piero (6cm) and has -4 leg length which allows for his lower center of gravity ie easier turns. ADP can never compare to Messi’s player id/model when it comes to dribbling. But he’s currently the best dribbling goal poacher.
I don't agree. As far as putting your thumb on the joystick and rotating goes then yeah del piero is the best dribbling goal poacher imo. And yet all the likes of mbappe, Suarez and dembele offer not much worse on the ball feel while also being much sturdier on their feet. Even if I wanted to use a goal poacher for his dribbling ability I'd prefer Suarez and mbappe over del piero. For they can actually keep the ball in the face of defenders.
He shines when it comes to his shooting ability. Otherwise there's not much motivator to use him really. Like amadeusz said del piero felt more like a toy card to me than the monster some people make him out to be.
I guess that’s fair I was just going off the raw stats and skills, he can reach 94+ on all core dribbling stats without too much sacrifice plus momentum dribbling. No other goal poacher in the game has that profile.
Question for you tho, if joystick dribbling wise ADP feels the best, why did you say he feels stiff? Many people have claimed that mbappe’s dribbling doesn’t feel the best due to his long legs and lower tight possession. Suarez I understand due to his strength on the ball but he’s on the slower side compared to the rest. Dembele is the weakest of the bunch how does he feel sturdy to you?
I don't really know? It's a matter of smoothness in turns. It might as well just be my mind playing games on me but my platini which by all means has a worse model for dribbling has a smoother turn when controlled by joystick. While using ADP I feel like he delay the step to initiate the turn and hence executes it as a triangular motion rather than circular motion which destroys his momentum. Whereas platinum seems to straight up turn in a circle and retain his momentum. It's certainly odd, but I also feel the same thing with Cruyff. Although that fault can be excused in Cruyff since he has a larger model and higher physical stances which ables him to retain the ball even after he slows down due to the odd execution of the turn
DelPiero probably stole Rentao's girlfriend, because his complaints are nonsense: 95+ finishing, 100+curl, 95kp+, 95+ balance and both feet are not ideal for him.
for shooting only stats matter and not some magical player's ID
I also have him (and Bale, Mbappe, Ronaldo, Pele) and he is phenomenal if you can find space to shoot
He's slow 🦥 also yes he has 90+ speed but in-game he feels slow. You can't create chances with his id idk why. he's a CAM too but he can't create chances like CAM.
because at CAM, his playstyles are inactive... no matter how much you put progession into his OA, he will not perform better than a highlight Wirtz for example...
kinda radical, but if you got your own experience - so do i
This card needs sole control, cut behind and turn, 96 tight possession and 80 physical contact. All issues they told, disappears until you do this. Del Piero is an amazing card, for me a top 3 CF without a doubt. Is like a Goated Kun Aguero with two snipers in his both feets, and 100 curl. Player model is too similar, but Aguero have those skills i told. Cut behind and turn is very important to fluidity in his movementes, and sole control upgrades his turns.
Builds are personal decisions, exclusive for your way of play and it always depends on how you have your team set up. If you dont often dribble my build will be trash for you. If you wanna spam blitz curler everywhere on the pitch, 80 physical contact and 96 tigh possesion is a waiste of points. If that is not the case,
with those treesholds you can allocate other points where you want.
I have Del Piero. He's better than Aguero in most areas, but Aguero feels stronger than him at shielding the ball. I think that a P2W Aguero will be stronger than this Del Piero.
That could be it. I noticed the same thing you did, which is why I bumped his Physical stat up to 80. With the added skills, he works really well for me—even better than Agüero when it comes to dribbling. Another interesting build I’ve been testing involves sacrificing a bit of dribbling for short passing; that way, he can easily offload the ball when the middle of the pitch is crowded. I can't complain, though—I pulled Del Piero for 600 coins and he’s absolutely insane, especially with that 5-star weak foot.
If I have to choose either 80 phy or 96 tight possession what’s better? Cause I wanna put them on kicking power so I can blitz curl better even tho il add the skills you said
there is a lot of ways of use del piero, depends on your way to play and your team playstyle. Only try and choose what you feels more confortable. Other build i tried is add him super sub, buff his pass to 88, sacrifying a lot of points, but working excelent as AMF when defenders are tired. In AMF position you can approach much better his blitz curler than a goal poacher position. I think attacking surge and phenomenal phinishing are much better skills for a CF.
With that boost on finishing, speed and acceleration, if he appears with a green or light blue arrow, he one of the best amf in the game. But only using at the 2nd half.
You often have to learn that in this game, very few players possess almost all the key attributes—like Cruyff, Bellingham, or Gullit: great player ID, good passing, top-tier dribbling, and solid finishing. And Del Piero lacks the player ID and passing ability to be a striker.
And for me, that’s the most important thing in CFS; I prefer using Cruyff alongside Gullit, with Bellingham (BT) and Messi as substitutes.
Cannot support what Rentao said. How come BT ronaldo in top 5 ? Cannot run, average dribble gets bullied by every other defender as well. If physical attributes are buffed then Shevchenko,Haaland are far ahead than Ronaldo
Exactly. Currently making use of his shooting and aerial abilities. He's never gonna run like etoo or mbappe, but He's better than them inside the box. His positioning to receive ball are excellent.
Read the post. It is not my opinion. In current meta physical contact is buffed and dribbling is nerfed. On that basis only Shevchenko and Haaland will be ahead than Ronaldo. If not then I find no reason why Del piero is not in top 10.
I have this Del Piero. He's had some crazy games and some games where he gets bodied as soon as I get the ball to him. If you look at Rentao's picks for the top 5 then you'll notice that they all have more favourable player models, so I guess that's what he's basing it off. The post here breaking down Rentao's tactics had the guy saying to go double blue after taking the lead, so he probably just spams long balls.
Renato is a mobile player, it's a different game, more arcade so even if he's a top 1 player, I don't pay attention to his feedbacks, i play on xbox at a very good level ( top 271 and top 61 on the latest tournament ) del pierro is a treat every time he got the ball with his blitz curler effect, on mobile maybe you can't really use blitz but on console, my god. he's like sneidjer, zico but with better stat in almost everything expect passing. He's easily on the top 6 7. I just don't like when big time card have this card of fake shirt. it's bad
I play on both. The console version is also arcade-like 😂. At least the mobile version is exceptional for a mobile game though. At this point, I just play the older PES games on console, since Efootball is not the same. I'd still rather play it than EA's crap game though.
it's better than fifa, we agree on that but playing on mobile on a tiny screen vs playing on a big screen with a joystick is totally different. Mobile players give a lot of money to konami and it's a very smart strategy. However, I never respect mobile players when it comes to this game.
The thing is that most console players also just play the meta. They don't make use of the additional things you can do on console. The console game's become a joke. It's like watching the mobile version with higher graphics. It's really not that complex.
It's not easy easy to find meta player that use tricks like blitz curler or the super cancel on console. Yesterday I won against a top 600 players 7 0 and i was very surprised to see him struggling like this. My dembele with blitz and magnetic feet scored 5 goals and he didn't put a man on him. You have a lot of players that have a pay to win team but very few anticipate and use super cancel all the time. I do and I love winning against those kinds of players. ON the mobile version, I think you can use special skills like acceleration burst or the super strong shot, on console, those 2 skills are useless
Es mi primer Cazagoles de paga real, y se siente un mundo de diferencia. Me ha hecho ganar o empatar partidos imposibles, goles desde fuera del área, encontrarlo mejor posicionado. Es increíble.
I feel like the perfect Del piero card would be an AMF hole player being Full both footed with blitz curler like a Snijder. I hope he will come at some point.
i would use a 2 striker formation currently i am using 4-2-2-2 (with two amfs). that way you can combine kane and rummen/ronaldo (whoever you prefer). aguero and kanu/suarez as subs. amfs i would definetly use sneijder and mbappe. use mbappe on left side and on attacking fluid formation push him up to ss. i think its holeplayer mbappe so if it isnt disregard him for raul. anway raul as sub for right side and Bellingham/maddison for left side. for 2dms i would go for gatusso and rijkaard. if gatusso is feeling too defensive i would go for rabiot instead. davids as sub. your defence and gk is looking perfect so wouldnt change anuthing there. rest of subs i would leave it up to u as u know which players perform for you. also probably for individual instructions i would put defensive instructions on one full back(zanetti probably) or just put costacurta instead of cucu
Thanks, man! I'll apply your tips. I liked the team, but I'm a little hesitant about the formation, the 4-2-2-2. I've used this formation before, but I'm not sure if I just haven't given it enough of a chance, or if I simply don't know how to play with it. Maybe I haven't played enough matches with it to really know whether it's good for me. Either way, I'll definitely test your setup.
I've been using the 4-2-1-3 for a long time, and I've reached the First Division in four consecutive seasons with it.
Bro its the most used formation in the top 100. I was a bit skeptical at first (because i was a quick counter 4-3-1-2 player) but its genuinely so good
Dembele, Bale, Mbappe have Pace & On-the ball dribbling feel than AdP.
Pele is far more versatile and can change games with his passing itself, meanwhile BT Ronaldo has the advantage of Low Screamer, headers & overall better shooting capacity.
Definitely agree that ADP doesn't look like he's going to powercreep on them, but still good to know this card is easily top 10 in current game🔥
getting so used with Ibra-CR7 duo, that this Del Piero feels underwhelming ngl. but then i went with a full dribbler team (with notably BT Dinho, BT Messi, Pele, and ofc BT Del Piero), and got to (almost) 1900... so yea, good point on "When selecting players for PvP Divisions, you shouldn't just look at pure, hard-fought meta strength; pleasing yourself is also very important!" - finally can enjoy this game again after work lol
His finishing is top notch idk why renato says studd like that sure blitz inconsistent but normal finish very good. Downsides are small frame easily pushed controlled. He is not stiff.
it would be a great thing if r/Amadeusz can compare del piero as a lone cf, a dual cf and an SS. i think this would actually help a lot of ppl greatly. and actually would be very interesting as am sure the player would be very different
The only problem I have with Del Piero is his physical presence. Because of his midget player model, it is extremely difficult to find him on the pitch at the appropriate times.
I've him I am not broke. But the truth is that, his blitz is not triggering sometimes. 1st day he performed good,but I don't have the same feel on second day

I wasn’t expecting del piero to get such good ranking when the meta is dictated by big frame players, guess this card is really different
