Player Review

I'll preface this review by saying that I've used Futbin for 4 years and played FUT for 7 and this is the first time I've been compelled to write a review for a player. This Bruno Fernandes card is unequivocally the best attacking midfielder I have used in at least the last 3 fifas. He has the entire package. I won't drag this on, so let's get into his stats. It's also worth mentioning that his base card stats are simply far below his actual performance in game. I have only used this card for 6 D3 rivals games, but I wanted to get this review out to help players building their squads for the WL. He has recorded 9 goals (not counting 3 pens) and 6 assists in these 6 games, playing as a central CAM in a 4231 (squad linked above).

Pace: I'm using a Hunter on him for the moment (more on that in a bit) and his pace is plenty good enough. Sure, he's not mbappe or ASM, but he can outpace most defenders. 9/10

Shooting: This is an interesting one because it depends on the chem style you apply to him. Since I play a faster, more counter-attacking style, I needed this central CAM to have pace and the ability to shoot if the option was there. This is why I chose a Hunter for Bruno to maximize his pace while giving him a solid boost in shooting. With the Hunter, his finishing is up to 91 and his shot power and long shots are also very good. If you have a lane to the net from within 20 yards on his right foot, the ball flies in. You may run into an issue with his shooting if you apply an engine to him. It'll still be very good, but I think the hunter really takes his stat to the next level. He is also potent on those power shots to the far post if you are 1v1. Not to mention, his penalties are absolutely exquisite. He is by far and away the best penalty taker I've used in any Fifa. He's had 3 so far and all have nestled beautifully into the top right corner, far out of reach of even the keepers that dive the right way. 9.5/10

Passing: Bruno's passing is simply immaculate. I imagine you would want to boost it with an engine if you are playing a slower, possession style game, but as I've said, that didn't quite suit me. Nevertheless, his base passing is quite fine. He is great at dropping those over-the-top through balls to a pacey striker, and he is very rarely intercepted. He's one of those guys who you can hammer it with from your own corner, and he'll pick out a winger or outside CAM through the defensive line. Could be boosted with an engine, but still fine for me. 10/10

Dribbling: His dribbling is perhaps what surprised me the most in game. Again, the Hunter is not boosting this, so I'm going off his base stats. As you can see, these stats are still very, very good for any player. In game, however, he is slightly below Messi in my ranking of best dribblers I've used. He is unbelievably agile and can zip through defenders. He is very good at making those slight adjustments in the box through a maze of players in order to create space for a shot. I'd imagine he'd be next level with an engine, but as I've said, doesn't quite suit me. 10/10

Defending: Look, you're not gonna play this guy at CDM, but he is certainly capable of playing as an attacking CM. He isn't kante or anything, but his defending is still solid and he wins me the ball back a lot in the offensive third after a turnover. He is also pretty strong for a CAM, and can really put in a good standing tackle. 9/10 (for an attacker)

Physical: His strength isn't crazy, but he can muscle smaller players like dembele and even Kante (once) off the ball. His height also helps him here. He wins a good amount of headers and his stamina is absurd. He plays the whole 90 mins and is still only about half drained of energy. 10/10

Thanks for reading! I highly rate this card and would recommend him for anybody with the coins.

PS: I would pay 1 million coins for this card. In terms of value for money, this is the bargain of the year.
