Criminal. Outrageous. Incomprehensible. That's how I would describe his price tag. Not because Felipe Anderson is so expensive. No, it's because he is so cheap. This card has to be one of the best I have used this FIFA, and even in all the many years I have been playing FUT. Let me get into the details.
When this card was first released, I was a bit shocked. A very affordable price, while having such great, well balanced stats. It was a dream come true. After purchasing Felipe, he hasn't let me down for one single moment. This card is godly. The stats feel way better than what the card shows. His speed is there, dribbling excellent. His shooting and passing, however, are the real game changer. As you can see by the stats, he's a master in front of the goal, both in terms of assists and goals scored. It's not just the numbers, it's the way how he does it which brings so much versatility to him. Outside the box, inside the box, finesse shot, powerful shot, volley, header, he can do it all. Even more incredible is his positioning. He seems to always find the gap, and will run into said gap at the precise moment. Combine that with his deadly shot, and you have a recipe for goals. But his positioning goes further than just shooting. In terms of passing he'll be able to create space for others, and has the technique to deliver the ball to his offside-beating teammates. Don't expect too much tho, as he ain't the playmaker Pirlo, Özil, or Iniesta are, but he has a more than excellent technique to provide his team with crucial passes. It's not pure bliss however. Despite his good stamina, his strength and aggression will let him down. Don't expect him to beat the Bailly's or Bakayoko's in a physical fight. Defense isn't bad, but it's nowhere near magical either. Keep the defending to more defensive players.
And that's pretty much the only downside he has. I still can't believe he's going for such a cheap price (bought him for 41,250 coins) while being able to make such a big impact in the game. His record speaks for himself. I suggest you buy this card if possible, and let his feet do the rest. Be ready to stand in awe, because the great Felipe Anderson is about to start!
Pace, positioning, shooting, passing, dribbling, double 4*, very cheap.
Strength, aggression.
