I think Pirlo could play in the EPL... But at his current level, it would have to be a team built to his strengths and to cover his weaknesses... But his better days are behind him..

Yeah, Pirlo would need to be setup with box to box runners but that's not a stretch for most EPL rosters. He could be hard to handle for many EPL sides that aren't used to being punished for leaving a lot of vacant space in the midfield.

The comparisons with Gerrard dropped into a DLP role and Pirlo need to take into account that, unlike Gerrard, Pirlo has been playing that role for over a decade and while not a good individual defender, he compensates a great deal by reading the game and simply getting himself in the way.
