The Player The Good Stuff 1. He's young 2. You should be able to pick him up for about £4.4 million, so not excessively expensive 3. Although his stats aren't amazing, he has a lot of 13s and 14s in the key striker stats, so plenty of scope for growth 4. He improves quickly under IT 5. An absolute monster from corners and crosses/free kicks 6. Seems to have a good, steady personality and can take a decent penalty 7. Rarely gets injured and can take IT without grumbling The Bad Stuff 1. His stats don't look that great to start off with In Summary I'm quite surprised Pedro hasn't been scouted yet, I'd imagine that most people who start a career at Athletico Madrid overlook him given the qality of the existing strikeforce and the presence of the more widely known Borja in the reserves. While his stats look like a solid foundation, they're not really going to catch your eye at a casual glance. Pedro takes to IT brilliantly and within a few months those high blues are all green and most of the oranges are blue. After a year or two Pedro is a defender flattening behemoth, dominating the area in set-piece situations. Stats after IT That's after three years, but he looks almost as good after one, just a touch lower on shooting, decisions and movement. Form I'm considering doing a write up of this career, so I won't give too much detail. Suffice to say he's outscored Falcao in two out of three seasons and probably would have in all three but for a couple of uncharacteristic injuries. *edit* I should add that he starts in the Athletico reserves in case anyone is misled by the picture at the top of this post.
