Review:
As soon as I saw this card I knew I had to have him. I had just sold my baby Seedorf to get his mid version, but decided to get Firmino instead. I used him most as RM in 352 with “Come back on defense” instruction applied, basicly making him a RB on defense and a proper winger on the offence. He is even more perfect for this role thanks to his H/H workrates.
Right from the first match he impressed me with his dribbling and passing abilities. He rarely misses a pass and his dribbeling is really fluent. Ball rolls are his favorite move, he executes them so smoothly. His acceleration feels a lot quicker than his 86 stat (chem applied) suggests. His sprint speed is nothing too special, but it’s not bad either.
His defending combined with his strong physique makes him a hard to pass player. Not taking my back three in account, he is my 2nd favorite player to defend with while using L2, after Kanté RTTF. Yes I rate him above Gullit (in that particular feat).
When he does get in front of goal, he hasn’t let me down so far. Clinical is the word to describe his finishing. Even without a shooting chemistry style applied. Combine all the things I said and you have an incredible well rounded card with almost no drawbacks, as his stats suggest.
Rating: 9/10, It’s an amazing card and I can’t imagine him leaving my squad anytime soon.
Value for coins: I don’t think many cards can do what this card can do. From the cards I used there is only one card that could do this job better than Firmino, which is Gullit. So yes, you’ll defenitely get your money’s worth.
