87 - PTG-Spring
Roberto is easily a top 2-3 bench player on my team and thrives in that role. Depending on the situation, I'll sub him on as a LW, RW, ST, or CM at around the 50-60th minute of most games. He does lack elite pace, but is surprisingly good as a wing player. I would highly recommend getting this card if you have a PL team, Brazilian team, or just need a great bench player.
- Phenomenal shooting
- Great passing
- Solid dribbling
- Strong
- Decent enough defending when you need him to press
- Four star weak foot and skill moves
- Could be a bit faster, but it's really not a huge issue, especially if he's a starter on your team
My main man Firmino. I use this card in a full brazilian squad with Giuliano feeding him the ball. Once he is close to the box, just shoot, it'll go in. Plus, he has a chance to get another inform or maybe even two. Pick him up while you still can, because he will change your game.

High/High workrates sometimes full him out of position, but not often enough to mess you up.
The Short Version: He is Benching NIF Auba and EOAE Kaka!!!
More Details:
I use him in a 4411 Formation as a striker. Prime Rui Costa is the CF and Prime R10 and PTG Comman on the Wings. Some times i switch it in game to a 433, 4231 wide or 41212 narrow.
He is Physical enough to protect the Ball and holds its own but also Quick enough to find the open space.
What I like about him is his movement. He often falls back to help Rui in the build up and OPENS SPACE for both of them to use. Which could be a problem if he wasn't there to finish, BUT HE ALWAYS is.
He Scored 72 Goals in 75 matches, most of them in WL (Gold1) and also set up 36 Goals.
Even though i have SBC Cavani, IF Sanchez & EOEK Kaka, he is never the one to be replaced due to his performance and stamina.
I highly recommend him as a striker but I have seen him playing CM in the WL very often and i might give it a go.
One Negative aspect he is missing is his heading in the build up.
When i am pressed or have to boot a Goal Kick, he has a tough time winning the duels against the CBs.

I had IF Eriksen and NIF 91 KDB and needed something more even though both are great players and I decided to give a try Firmino OTW.. Best decision I made this guy is a beast at CAM position he do everything! Tried him at ST too and he is very good there but man different level in CAM! 100% recommend him worth every coin!
