Player Review
93 - Flashback SBC
Since I've always wanted to write a review for a player, but I've waited too long for Müller Flashback, I'll do this one before it's too late as you still can get Firminho FB.
I am a huge fan of Müller FB, he has around 130 goals in 110 matches for me and was a real game changer; so yesterday I saw Firminho FB SBC is active again, and as he has a lot similarities to Müller I had to do him, although I had to sell some players of my current team. As I play a lot through the center, CAMs are the most important position for me. My team was Bundesliga only, so I was using Kruse TOTY until now, but although he had quite similar stats as Müller he was almost invisible most of the time, while Müller was the star of the team. By the way: Currently I am playing Divison 2, but should reach Division 1 the next days (unfortunately I don't have time on weekends for WL)
So first of all: He is really playing like Müller FB. Thanks to H/H workrates he i basically everywhere (I might be the only one who loves H/H, but heh). Now he plays next to Müller FB and it works like a charm, they just dominate everyone and can shoot from everywhere. Now I really feel bad about using those two guys, but well, the rest of my team is worth almost nothing, so it should be okay;)
I am using Marksman chem style on him.
Pace: As a CAM 90 Pace is more than enough. Maybe as a striker a bit more would be nice, but well, you can use chem styles for it.
Shooting: You can just shoot from everywhere. It feels like 9 out of 10 shots are a goal, even in stupid angles.
Passing: As I play mostly with short passes, I don't need an extra chem style here - the only "con" is F/K/A, but well, just use any other player for this.
Dribbling: As I didn't play with players like Messi or Neymar yet, I am not sure if I am able to judge this. But it feels very very smooth. His balance could be a bit higher, depending on your playstyle you might want to use engine on him.
Defending: His stats might be not that good here, as he is a striker. But due to his def WR he often runs back and gets me the ball. And thanks to 99 stamina that's totally okay.
Physicality: As I've just mentioned, his 99 Stamina is really great. He just runs and runs. He is not the tallest, that might be a problem for people who do a lot headers, however his strength and aggression is just great.
So if you are thinking about doing his SBC, just do it. I had to sell a few players and still my team feels strong like never before.
