Firmino, the striker beast!

By mario6565, 02-08-2019

Hello! This is my first review on a card, but I had to do one on this insane one.

Let me figure out how to get started...

I am a casual FIFA UT player with no intentions to reach Elite in the WL or something like that im just casually playing 1 WL per month and mostly Division Rivals and Squad Battles.

Last WL i finished Gold 3.

As I saw this card for the first time, it was like almost costing 1 Mil. and I thought: "Which id*** would finish this card?

I was happy when EA re-released it and made it much cheaper.

So I did this card for almost 200k with some untrades I had...

I used him for 30 games on the Middle and Left CAM postion in a 4-2-3-1, then for roundabout 30 games as the LS in a 4-2-2-2 next to Torres EOAE and the last 20 games as a lone striker in a 4-2-3-1 with 3 CAMs.

I can tell you: He is worth every penny.

In the first 30 games he sometimes acted like he was invisible thats why I took him into the ST position where he really has shown what he´s got.

Pace: 90 Pace wasn´t about enough for me, so I decided to put a Hawk chemistry style on him which made him really fast. He almost wins every running duel with centre-backs which is also due to is high strength.

Shooting: 93 Shooting with 97 Finishing, 97 Positioning, and 90 Shot Power is already really good, with the Hawk he reaches 99 in every of these 3 stats and 99 Volleys which is really important in the Volley meta. I´d say 9/10 1 on 1 situations on the goalie are leading to a goal.

Passing: I personally like strikers who also can pass the ball and act like a false 9 which Firmino is basically made for. His 97 Vision and 98 Short passing are feeling really good and he rarely makes mistakes when passing the ball.

Dribbling: Maybe his only little con, because of gis 87 Agility which isn´t bad but sometimes not enough when going into 1v1 situations. 95 Dribbling, 95 Composure, 96 Ball Control and 94 Reactions are feeling amazing for me.

Physicality: Due to the Hawk, Firmino reaches 99 Jumping which is together with his height of 181cm more than enough to win headers against some defenders with Shadow chemistry style, 99 stamina make him last full 120 minutes without any problems, 90 Strength + 99 Aggression are enough to win close situations with defenders and hold them off the ball.

Conclusion: Firmino has got everything a soild striker/centre forward/(offensive midfielder) needs to have. His shooting might be his best attribute, but every offensive stat he has got feels pretty well.

THIS MAD LAD MR. FIRMINO

Wow, this card is amazing almost just as amazing as his smile. To get serious about this review though I completed the sbc as soon as I saw the card so I have played a decent amount of games with him. I played 6 games and he scored 13 goals along with 3 assists. He is an amazing finisher and dribbler on the ball. Exploit the h*ll out of curled shots from the top of the box with him. With his links to the premier league and ...

Complete midfielder

One of the first things I did in Fifa 19 is buy Firminho and use him as CM/CAM. No regrets at all. He is so good. Doest his defensive work as his workrate is High/High. Has a great skillset and his striker instinct makes him pop op in front of the goal in scoring positions. Aslo his long shots is a deadly weapon.

IT'S AMAZING! This card is incredibile.With chemistry marksman he's very strong, but incomplete, but with engine he's unstoppable. He's agility increse 90+, he's pass will upgrade near the perfection, and good upgrade also for pace. He's shot was just unbelievable, and increase it isn't necessary, also for phy stats.
