For a central attacking midfielder, Pellegrini has just enough pace to keep up with transitions.

With his right foot, Pellegrini can strike the ball really well. His long shots and shot power stand out.

Passing is where Pellegrini shines. Short passes, long balls, and through balls feel crisp, and he links midfield to attack effortlessly.

He isn’t built like a pure dribbler or skill-heavy CAM, but his ball control, balance, and basic dribbling stats make him smooth enough in tight spaces.

High/high work rates, this is a very useful trait in competitive gameplay. Pellegrini doesn’t just stay up front waiting, he tracks back, helps in midfield, and presses high when needed.

Unlike lightweight attacking mids, Pellegrini has some strength and stamina. He can shield the ball, hold off challenges, and last the full 90 minutes without fading much.
