Toni Kroos vs Andrea Pirlo in EA FC 27: which card is better?
Toni Kroos vs Andrea Pirlo: stats, PlayStyles, roles and live prices of both EA FC 27 cards side by side.
Verdict
Toni Kroos and Andrea Pirlo are both 90-rated Base Icon central midfielders in FC 27, and both carry Long Ball Pass as a PlayStyle+. They look close on paper, but the stat lines and skill profiles point to two different ways of running the middle of the pitch.
Pirlo is stronger in passing (PAS 93 vs 91), dribbling (DRI 89 vs 86), vision 94 vs 93, and has 5-star skill moves against Kroos's 3. Kroos has the edge on the physical side: DEF 76 vs 69, PHY 74 vs 68, a 5-star weak foot and a 183 cm frame, plus Intercept for winning the ball back. Pirlo adds Pinged Pass and Inventive. I would pick Pirlo for a creative playmaker who dictates play, and Kroos for a more balanced midfielder who also defends.
Choose Pirlo if you want maximum passing and flair from deep; choose Kroos if your midfield needs more defensive cover and a 5-star weak foot.
Pirlo wins 18 of 37 attributes.
