Detail Review
Pace
+
Decent pace overall, with a slight sharp acceleration compared to his sprint speed.
Does get involved in transitions quickly enough — however, it may not always be consistent.
Lack of sprint speed makes him fairly easy to be caught up with by defenders.
((7.3/10))
Passing
+
Clearly his strongest aspect.
Excellent short passing, due to the TIKI TAKA PS. His short passes are very accurate even under pressure, while his through balls are decent enough and can find attackers.
Long passing is decent at max, may not always be accurate.
Lacks the creativity of top meta CAMs and isn't always consistent.
((8.4/10))
Dribbling
−
Good ball control, decently agile but feels heavy on turns. Can feel clunky on the ball due to his body type, especially when trying to change directions quickly.
Has 3⭐ skill moves, which limits his versatility and makes him less effective in tight attacking situations compared to more agile, versatile meta CAMs.
((7.3/10))
Shooting
+
Good shot power and makes good attacking runs towards the box — finishing is good.
However, his long shots and Power Shots are very inconsistent — making them unreliable options from distance.
Weak-foot performance is also average.
((7.3/10))
Defending
+
Despite being a CAM, his H/H workrate keeps him actively involved defensively. He consistently tracks back to support the defence and has good defensive awareness, especially for an attacking midfielder.
Although he may not always win the ball back, he consistently tracks back and puts himself in useful positions.
((7.2/10))
Physical
−
Struggles in midfield duels, especially against stronger and more physical opponents.
However, his passing under physical pressure is noticeably quite good, allowing him to retain some composure when challenged. Still, he has a tendency to lose possession under physical pressure.
((7.0/10))
Stamina
+
Good stamina, has 4.5⭐ stamina. Can perform properly only till the 65–70th minute, because he often tracks back due to his H/H workrate. Since he is constantly involved across the entire pitch, his stamina drains noticeably faster. Due to this, his movement and overall effectiveness begin to drop.
((7.4/10))
Positioning
+
Makes good runs into spaces and often positions himself in advantageous spots to contribute to the attack. His H/H workrate also sees him track back consistently, where he shows decent awareness while intercepting.
((8.0/10))
Aerial Ability
−
Has a decent height of 186 cm, which should give him an advantage in aerial situations. However, he doesn't contribute much in aerial duels and mostly loses headers, making his height less impactful in-game.
((6.0/10))
Final Verdict
Pellegrini is a CAM with excellent passing, good positioning and impressive defensive contributions, with his H/H workrate keeping him involved across the pitch. However, his lack of pace, heavy turns, 3* skills and inconsistent long-range shots prevent him from being among the meta CAMs. Despite having 4.5* stamina, it gets drained quickly due to his defensive involvement. Not recommended to be claimed using shards.
