Player Review
94 - TOTS
So I got TOTS Bernardo Silva in one of the two player picks from the Gold 2 FUT CHAMPS rewards. I am a divison 2/3 and Gold 2/3 player. My starting 11 is dominated by EPL-players, I play 4-2-3-1 with Bernardo in the CAM-role. I used IF Eriksen 91 in that role and quickly replaced him with this guy. I was very happy with Eriksen 91, one of the best and most solid players i´ve used in FUT 19. But I had seen some talk about Bernardo on youtube and wanted to try him out. I can definitely say that hes the most fun player i*ve used so far this FIFA!
Magician is the word that represent him the best. I use Marksman chemstyle on him. I have played 26 games with him in FUT Champs and he scored 22 goals. I can easily say his is the most enjoyable and fun player i`ve used in FUT so far. If u like dribbling, skills and embarrassing strong tall defenders
Passing - His passing is great, especially his through balls and crosses. Just look at the stats.
Pace - U dont have to boost his pace. The only thing u need, to run away from defenders, is his unreal acceleration. His pace is good.
DRIBBLING - Oh my god! This is his best trait. He has to be one of the best, if not the best dribbler on the game. I have used Neymar and Messi, and Bernardos dribbling is better! He doesnt need 5*dribbling. It looks like the game has some special animations for this guy when he dribbles. He feels crazy smooth on the ball, the ball is glued to his feet. His turns, agility and reactions are insanely quick. No defender can catch the ball from him, He glides past defenders with step overs, body feints elasticos etc, like they are nothing. They either get embarrassed or they concede a freekick/penalty. Use skills with this player and I guarantee u will get past the defenders 9/10 times. I`ve scored so many solo-goals with this guy its ridiculous! Keep in mind that Marksman will boost his already insane dribbling stats even more.
Shooting - His shooting is pretty good. Especially his positioning. He makes smart and good runs and is always at the right place. His finishing is better than his long shots. His long shots are ok but not the best. Messi and Eriksen scores more often than Bernardo from outside the box. He is surprisingly good at freekicks. Scored some freekick goals with him.
Weak foot - I put his weak foot as one of the pros. The 3-star weak foot is a lie! His weak foot is decent and I scored many goals with it.
Stamina - 99 Stamina stamina says it all. He can run at tired defenders all day long.
Height - But thats obvious. Not the best player in the air.
Strength - Not the strongest player out there, can easily be pushed off the ball. But his great balance (92) makes him a fighter. Cristiano Ronaldo for instance fell more often to the ground because of his low balance stats.
Long shots - I wish he could have been a bit more clinical with his long shots outside the box.
