Player Review
92 - TOTS
First things first: if you're hesitating about buying him because people are bashing on his card, I say go ahead and buy him because he performs like he should. With that out of the way, the position, league and nation combination alone gives him bonus points. Frankly the selection of LMs, apart from 3-4 players, in the PL is poor. The selection of solid, solid meta players that is. And you can't get more meta than Anderson. Felipe's got pace for days, used to well... outrun defenders, which he does. Of course, you cant go wrong with picking him for his dribbling. It's smooth yet sticky. He can perform most of the skills and the balance makes him a solid player. However, what I like the most is his attacking capability. He his so reliable in front of goal. He shoots missiles, he can even make them curve and he can place them in any corner. People seem to forget that he even has the finesse trait. And one other thing I notice is that his positioning is on par. If it weren't for defenders intercepting then he'd be right in front of goal 100% of the time and will surely score. His AI is very smart. Other than that he has great stamina and is decently aggressive, which improves his hold up play. The strength is a bit on the low side, but I recommend using marksman. You not only improve his shooting and dribbling, but also his physicality. His pace and especially passing don't need more improvement, as he his able to place the ball anywhere he likes. To sum it up, Anderson is a prolific scorer, who fits very well into the current meta. His quirks such as finesse shot, high aggression being able to play with most of the chem styles make him a memorable player on the pitch. And him being Brazilian, playing LM he his the next best option after Neymar and Ronaldinho.
