You'll have to put in some work, but there's now a way to add an epic 99 OVR version of the legendary player to your Ultimate Team in FIFA 21.
FIFA 21: Icon Prime Moments Pelé SBC Start & Expiry Date
There is arguably no better player in the history of football than Pelé, and that will continue to ring true with this must-have Icon Prime Moments version in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team.
Start Date: Monday, 9 August at 6pm BST
Expiry Date: Monday, 4 October at 6pm BST
Don't miss out on Icon Swaps IV as well, and we've got full details on their arrival in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team here.
Icon Prime Moments 99 OVR Pelé Player Review
If you're even starting to consider putting in the work for this 99 OVR Prime Moments Icon Pelé, you're probably wondering whether it's worth the time investment.
You'll have to comb through over two dozen squads to get this card, but it has the stats that back that grind up and make it worthwhile.
At a glance there appear to be big gaps considering his mere 61 in Defending and 78 in Physicality, but those aren't necessarily a priority for this centre forward.
Even underneath those lower attributes, he's still got a 96 in Heading Accuracy, 90 in Jumping, and 89 in Stamina.
However, it's in his ability to score that this version of Pelé really starts to shine with 99 ratings in Reactions, Composure, Positioning, Finishing, and Vision.
He's also got a 98 in Ball Control and Dribbling as well as a 97 in Acceleration, Sprint Speed, Shot Power, Volleys, and Short Passing.
Rounding things out, Pelé also has a 90+ rating in Agility, Balance, Long Shots, Penalties, Crossing, Free Kick Accuracy, Long Passing, and Curve.
