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.

Other Roberto Firmino Reviews

NOT OVERPRICED!

This is my first review ever so please don't judge me! Roberto Firmino fits my team perfectly, so when I saw he was in a vote I knew that if he won I had to get him. He did, so I picked him up right as the sbc was released. I saw many people calling him overpriced, and noticed many people seeming disappointed in his stats. I think people were disappointed because they wanted goo...

Great Striker

I completed Bobby Firmino as soon as I could as i had a lot of sbc fodder in my club, for example TOTS Immobile and TOTS Luis Alberto, and I was very happy when I started using him, his finishing was very good and he was clinical in a lot of situations (i would recommend using him as a striker), his pace felt good but not like the speed of Adama Traore but i didn't expect that (it did the job), his weak foot upgrade is very...

Roberto Firmino Best in the League???

So i played number of games with Roberto Firmino had had an extraordinarily slow start to life in my club but increasing became a integral part of my squad. i would advice to make his custom tactics more about coming short and getting the ball to feet and having your wingers set as get in behind its vital that you have at least one of your wingers very pacy just because out of your front three your gonna need at least some...
