88 - FUTmas SBC
Well santa came early for me this christmas, have always wanted to tro try firmino so why not do the sbc?
Anyways, he lacks the pace to be a ST in my team I play him as central CAM in 4231 just behind POTM 2 Reus with POTM sterling and lucas. For me his most outstanding qualities playing as CAM is that he holds the ball really well, 90 ball control, 89 dribbling and 89 composure means he won't panic when my opponent is trying to play that dirty constant pressure or when he has his back to goal, add the 82 balance and it can be difficult to tackle him. So far he has 39 games for me (30 in fut champs) 20 goals and 12 assists which could be better. He's an excellent player he feels very nice when controlling him but the thing that I don't like is his work rates. I've managed to somewhat decrease the impact by having him to stay forward, and conservative interceptions ( means he won't try going for tackles) 92 stamina is really good but as he is right in the middle of the pitch his high/high make him kind of always run up and down and by 70th minute you might have to sub him. On the other hand this may favour you if your play style is to defend with all your midfielders I like to just defend with my two CDM's.
In terms of his shooting and box presence he makes important runs, when reus can't do it bobby kind of steps up for the team( reus medium/medium allos for bobby to makes those runs in front of him), if you are dominating a game he always makes himself available for a pass and can pick one out with that 88 vision.
I have him as roam free to make the most of his 89 positioning
Overall best CAM in BPL ? I'd say he is definitely on par with KDB
