The Perfect Playmaker - Roberto Firmino
By Frasrule, 01-07-2020

As a Liverpool Fan, I of course voted for Firmino, he fits in my team perfectly, and every card of his this year has had something missing, this one is the ideal attacking midfielder. I did him within the first ten minutes that he came out, I was going to wait until using him in my actual team, but as i quickly noticed he was phenomenal even in a sub par team. I played him as a striker in a 4-3-1-2 for the first 8 or so matches, in Divison 4, his numbers were great considering my only purpose in those games was to score or assist with Bruno. When i switched to a 4-2-3-1 was when i enjoyed the best form of Bobby. Playing behind the striker, he consistently bagged and assisted. The 5* weak foot upgrade is very noticeable as it seemed he couldn't miss.


My only issue with him is that he didn't feel like he had 5* skills, its a problem i have put down to agility, it feels more like 4* for whatever reason, but choose to look past that, like i did and you have one hell of a player.

  1. Passing: HIs passing range was excellent, nearly always finding a man.
  2. Dribbling: I can always rely on him to beat a man, i scored a few pretty impressive skill goals with him.
  3. Pace: As I used a hunter, pace was not an issue, he had no issue with beating most defenders to the ball, I recall him running rings around TOTS Ramos.
  4. Finishing: Arguably his best attribute, he scored 98% of the shots he took, it's hard to remember him missing.
  1. Defending: My sole issue with the card, i was really hoping for a 84+ defending Bobby, to top his scream card off, but somehow he has less defending than Bruno.

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...
