Player Review
86 - Normal
I saw Firmino before the game came out and I was so excited to try him out. He didn't disappoint at all! I have had him in my main squad since the start of the game and he hasn't disappointed.
I play him alongside Rodrigo so that Firmino can hold up the ball and Rodrigo can run into space.
Pace: 7/10
His worst stat. He isn't necessarily slow, but he isn't fast. He has enough pace in the most part, however, there were times when he could've been faster.
Shooting: 9/10
Finesse shots for days! He can put the ball top corner 9 times out of 10. With Hawk CS on his finishing was on par with anyone. His composure is really something else. If you go one on one with the keeper it's a definite goal. His 267 goals on 265 games speak for themselves.
Passing: 10/10
This is what really sets him apart from other strikers. He can spot a pass like no one else. He isn't only a clinical striker, but also a playmaker.
Dribbling: 9/10
He can feel a little bit sluggish, but if you know how to use him it's impossible to get the ball from him. His 4* skills give him an edge against other strikers. His dribbling inside the box is amazing, he can keep the ball stuck to his foot.
Defending: 8/10
You don't really expect a striker to defend, but Firmino is surprisingly good at it. He can get a key interception or stop a counterattack right when you need it.
Physical: 8/10
He has amazing stamina to run after every ball and show his impressive defense. However, his jumping and strength could be a little bit better. They weren't horrible or something you notice all the time, but sometimes he gets bullied off the ball too easily.
Overall Firmino is an amazing player. I daresay he is the best player that I have played with on FIFA 19. You will not be disappointed by him. I did the FUTmas SBC and have loved him on my first 30 games with him. Expect to see me doing a review on him soon.
