82 - Normal
I initially bought Florenzi for pretty much the same reason everyone else does: He's pretty much the overall best RB in the Serie A. Over time however, I've found that while he's only 82 rated, he really seems to play above his level. I use a Sentinel card on him to boost his defense, and I've come to see that it also has an added side benefit: his heading in set pieces. His jumping and heading stats, even with the sentinel card, don't look anything more than average, but for some reason that's not the case. I've begun to score often with him on corners since I began bringing a 2nd man in for them. I pass to the 2nd man and then send a cross to the back post area. Quite often Florenzi steps in front and power headers it home. Again, he doesn't have that trait, but he fires it with real pace. He's becoming a real game changer now.
Add to that he's a fast, quality defender who has the stamina to run all game long, and IMO he's the only RB you need with a Serie A team. Hell, even his shooting is pretty good and if you get him making runs into the box, he can put them away with his feet as well.
- Fast
- Stamina
- Defends well with a Sentinel card
- All-round defender who can score as well.
- Passing can be a little dicey, but he still good....just not great.
