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!

Felipe Anderson is one of the best CAMs I have used in this FIFA, and would be my choice against other Serie A alternatives.

His overlapping runs are without a doubt his most impressive feature and has added a lot more goals to my team as a result.

These runs allow you to play a ball through to him and get the goal or create so much more space for others in the team.

Quick one-twos and tiki-taka football is how to effectively play with this card.

This version of Felipe Anderson has brought me so much joy to play! His great pace and amazing dribbling are a deadly combination. Also 4 star skill moves and 4 star weak foot make him even better! If you know how to use him, he feels like much more than just a 83 rated player. The next deadly attribute of Felipe is his shooting, especially taking long shots - 90 rated shot power, and 90 rated long shots! He works both as a sniper and as a dribbler. I also find his passing very decent. He can score amazing goals and assist his teammates very well. Though one thing that has annoyed me so much while playing him. He is not the strongest one. He is short and small which makes it very easy for a strong defender to get him off the ball, and that makes it hard for FIFA players that aren't the best at dribbling and doing skills. It's not the only thing that annoyed me. Don't know if I'm just unlucky, but Felipe Anderson was really easy to get injured when I played him. He got injured very often, and once he even got injured FOUR matches in a row!

I would totally reccomend Felipe Anderson for long shot lovers and dribblers. Not the best skiller but I think 4 starts is just enough. However, for less experienced FIFA players he may be a struggle, as I have said before, he is small and weak, which makes him easy to get off the ball. So it may be a struggle for not - so - great dribblers while trying to get through the defence. But - if you are lucky and you opponent has slow defenders, it shouldn't be a big challenge to get through as he feels like a speed demon!
