What is World Cup Stars?

According to leaks, each nation participating in the tournament will receive a special boosted card that players can unlock through a Swaps system that FUT veterans will be familiar with. It is an exciting concept, and fans will be eager to start grinding away with the various objectives required to unlock these cards.

Danilo Pereira is the second card in the promo to be leaked by FUT Sheriff, with the first being Brazil and Liverpool midfielder Fabinho.

What does WC Star Danilo Pereira look like in-game?

The defensive midfielder, who can also slot in as a centre-back, has received an impressive boost to his attributes in FIFA 23. Pereira has the following stats in six key aspects:

Pace: 80
Dribbling: 84
Shooting: 72
Defending: 87
Passing: 82
Physicality: 89

While these stats are based on leaks and are subject to change based on EA's whims, they should closely reflect what the card will look like in-game. Pereira currently plays for Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain and has an overall base rating of 80. The 31-year-old possesses rather underwhelming attributes, and fans will be pleased that his World Cup Stars version is significantly better.

How will Danilo Pereira perform in-game?

The PSG star will be the ideal defensive-minded midfielder in the current FIFA 23 meta. The new AcceleRATE system of the game has made players possessing the lengthy acceleration type overpowered in-game. Pereira falls under this category and will be able to chase down attackers with ease and dispossess them with his domineering physical presence.
