I just want to clear up that I am an elite 2/1 player at around 2300 skill points. Just so you know I know what I am talking about. Now that that's out of the way, I honestly don't even know how to describe how good this card is. There are absolutely no cons with this second POTM Bruno Fernandes. With his pace he's out run Varane for me, does not miss shots inside or outside of the box, takes the ball back with ease, makes the most precise passes, and dribbles like prime Messi. I used a shadow on this POTM Bruno and played him at CM in the 442. This man completely ran the midfield in every single game. He's gotten me to 16-0 this weekend league, when I would usually have at least 1 loss. He comes up clutch with needed goals in tight games and make the last ditch interceptions/tackles that you need. He's the complete midfielder. Even if you chose the wrong pass, he basically corrects your mistake and somehow makes the pass connect 90% of the time. He's so easy to dribble with and so hard to tackle, which is the perfect combination. His defending is solid with crazy interceptions and tackling. This paired with unexpected blazing pace makes him a menace on the defensive end. He's cheaper than the first POTM and has a considerable upgrade. If you have the coins, do this card. You will not regret it, and he will be in your team at least until TOTS.
- Pace is so quick
- Shooting does not need to be touched if he's play center mid, he finishes absolutely everything with his base shooting
- Dribbling is so silky
- Passing is the best I've ever used
- Defending will make your opponents hate your life
- His physical is strong enough, and his stamina is amazing
Absolutely none.
I'm D2 and 1783 skill rating so I think my judgement is okay. I played him as a box to box cm with balanced attacking and he was incredible. In 5 games, he scored 6 goals "crazy" and had 8 assists. He was the perfect fit next to my Seedorf who played more defensively. He is a perfect box to box and his perfect partner is a true cdm, (seedorf,kessie,kante). He also had phenomenal interceptions which helped out a lot and not bad tackling. Defensively he was solid but I loved him when attacking. I did him for roughly 500k and fodder in my club and I'm very happy considering he will be most likely upgraded because of winter upgrades.

maybe Strength didn't really have a problem with it but maybe some could.
I played him on cdm but he has to attack too. He can do anything you want. He is as good in def as in attacking.
- very good shoots
- well playing in def
- amazing passes
none
During TOTY I was hoping I would be able to pack TOTY Bruno as many of us probably hoped also. I crafted many upgrade packs and although I was lucky to pack 2 TOTY cards, Bruno wasn't there :(
HOWEVER I always knew that any version of Bruno would be an amazing card and boy oh boy, this 92 POTM is so cracked. Earlier in the year I was lucky enough to get his 89 in red player picks so the 92 was a big upgrade for me. I also got lucky and packed gold mbappe from the final sbc :D
Anyway onto the review! Bruno's 2nd POTM is such an amazing card. His movement on and off the ball is absolutely insane, he's always in the right places when you need him to be and he is a great interceptor of the ball.
His passing is absolute class and cuts through the defence with ease, he has amazing freekicks
His shooting (with a hunter) is on level with the TOTY card (I've used it on a friends account) - I play him at CAM and the goals i've scored with him have been absolutely crazy!
Defensively, if you want to give him a shadow he can do a great job at CM. Even without a shadow he still can get the ball back and be a nuisance.
Overall i'd have to say if you have the fodder to get this card and can't afford the headliner or TOTY this card is worth it.

OMG this card is absolutely outstanding! his attacking instincts are incredible and not only does he create but he scores a lot of goals. If you have the coins to do this then i highly recommend. I was lucky enough to be able to do this as i got a Henrik Larrson 90 in a pack and sold him for 650k. I used the saved up coins i had and this SBC approx. cost 1 million. I put a shadow on him, kept him as a CAM in my normal formation (4-3-3) (4) and he runs the game.

When I saw the price my initial reaction was that it was too expensive but if you compare the price to his other cards its fair
I play him CAM in a 4231 to replace de bruyne and he is exceptional.
If you get space around the penalty area then just shoot because its probably going in
His passing has been very good but nothing too special yet for the stats.
His positioning is absolutely class during attacks and he always times his runs very well.
An issue with him is strengh as he is easily pushed off the ball at times
Penalties (obviously) you don't even have to time them
Long shots and finishing
Positioning
Strength
Sometimes doesn't get up the field as fast as other players for counters
Tackling so don't play him as your attacking CDM as he is wasted here
