Player Review

82 - Normal
4.5
Jack of all trades
By DavideTala, 25-12-2018

Bought for: 5k

Formation: 4-1-2-1-2 (2)

Position: RB of course

Chemistry Style: Shadow

Player instruction: Default


This tiny man owns the whole right side of my squad: with his 96 pace he can catch up to any winger he faces. once he does that, you'll find him running forward on offense like a proper winger to receive a pass from midfield, drive forward and either deliver a pass or take a shot. then he flies back on defense. rinse and repeat. easily for 90 minutes, sometimes for 120 thanks to his 90 stamina. he costs as little as a candy, he barely has 3 stats above 90, just one under 70. he can dribble very well with his short frame, agility and 4*. he has very decent passing stats, can shoot pretty dang well for a fullback and has decent interceptions that goes very well with such a rapid player. to have all that, you pay by having a short player, not particulary strong but aggressive enough, and not that amazing in defense as you may want. to me that i play with a narrow formation and thus need offensive fullbacks, this guy is perfect when you take into account the fact that he costs nothing. very cheap, very effective.


just pointing out a couple more specific things that i like about him


1) 87 volleys. not really related to shooting, but to crossing. he's got 7 assists for me in 18 games, which is not amazing but definitely not bad. well, a couple of those went like this: ucl allan with powerhouse launching him with a chipped long throughball, then this man decides to volley the cross in for my left striker who is mertens the giant who tapped a header. this happened twice in 18 games.

2) 4* skills. i really just use 4 skills that require 4+*SM: la croqueta, ronaldo chop, berba spin, the faster berba spin whose name i can't remember. he's able to do all of these and thus dribble almost like a proper RW, which is nice since he attacks a lot.

3) shooting inside the box. he has got 2 goals in 18 games, again not amazing not bad. both of those goal came from inside the box, just simple far post power shots from a reasonable angle. i'm decent at time finishing and i was able to hit them both green and they went in with pretty decent power. he had 2 chances like that and he buried 2 of them in, pretty solid i guess


Overall, he's very good as an offensive fullback, heck i believe that he could play RM/CM with engine/artist chem style respectively. however, if you play a 4-3-3 variant or 4-2-3-1 you may want a more defensive fullback so i advice you to stay away from florenzi, 1 because you waste his shooting and dribbling by putting him on stay back, 2 because he does not have amazing defensive stats or height or strength. 9/10 globally just because there is a separate voice for "value for money" which is straight 10/10

Florenzi-the man!

Insane beast.His pace is very good.His stamina is out of this world.Can go for more then 90 minutes, easily.I think they lied about his strength, he wins almost every physical duel.69 feels more like 79.His passing is great, particularly his crosses.Shooting insane for a defender. His long shots are always dangerous and his finishing is unbeli...

KANTE WITH SHOOTING (CDM REVIEW)

If you enjoy using Kante, you must try this card. I use Florenzi in a CDM position next to Fabinho which both together is amazing in a 4231(2). Personally I enjoyed using Kante because of his pace and defending capabilities however for 150k less you can get a Kante with shooting which is UCL live Florenzi. Florenzi is the perfect box to box midfielder for me, he is small and agile which makes him insanely ...

Florenzi for the win!

He is such a beast defender. Forget his height, it doesn’t matter. I really enjoyed to play with him. He is fast, he can reach every player in speed duels and all his tackles are awesome for the reason he plays so aggressive. His stamina is a dream, perfect for using him in the attack, in the defense or between those areas. A well rounded passing, amazing dribbling for a d...
