Alex Sandro - 12k - Great player and keeps his shape quite well if you don't drag him forward; when you do he is great in attack and strong enough to push off defenders to put in crosses. His passing is adequate, I've never really shot with him, and his general ball control is decent. (8/10)
Danilo - 17k - Well I had him as a NIF, my first Brazilian rb and I really liked him but is IF feels a little different. He seems a tad slower, slower on the turn and he does like to stray forward. Sometimes he is unbelievable and sometimes average but people seem to stay away from my right side so I've not done a lot of defending with him. He does overlap though. To be fair Moutinho and Danilo do close down defenders very well for me so perhaps people give up and go down the left. (Probably 8/10 if I get to defend with him)
Viana - 13k - Strong enough, good pass, good shot and quicker than Matic. That has been helpful because he is just as lazy as Matic at defending but he can just about chase people or make them rethink where they are running. He gives Mossoro a green link which is handy if you're planning to upgrade your right/left back to a different one in the future, plus he gets a green one to Moutinho too. Viana is definitely an upgrade on Matic and is worthy of a place in your IF squad, he might be another player you need to drag back a fair amount but he can defend and find a man when possession gets tight. (8/10)
Mossoro - 12k - Great player with a good touch, quick feet, long shot and worthy pace. He isn't the strongest and bumping off players will cause you to lose the ball but he does seem to be quick at winning it back. He makes himself available for a pass, can cross well and arrives late in the box. Passing is great and he feels like a team player even coming back to help every now and again. (8.5/10)
Moutinho - 34k - Great player he really is and he does everything well. Passing is excellent, shooting good, crossing decent, touch fantastic, balls skills effective, defending brilliant and positioning perfect. If I am being overrun in midfield I swap him to CM, take Matic off and bring on Labyad. Works well as Moutinho is absolutely everywhere. (9/10..too costly for that extra half point)
Gaitan - 13k - Quick, good shot, good passing, good crossing and nimble around the box. He was a bargain too which was nice. His skills do help and his medium/medium work rates, though not perfect, allow some staggered attack which means I can find him with Mossoro with ease, perhaps he just has good positioning but I can usually find him wide. All round he is a good player and although tiny you do notice those in game stats when you're against a Dede or Santana. (9.5/10)
Salvio - 10k - Interesting player; sometimes he can be found in wide positions and has a great cross but he is quick enough to run wide instead, he is tiny but good at taking the quick touch to cross and he has a decent attitude in the box where I find him making late supporting runs and being quite troublesome. With Danilo running forward it does make up for his lack of wing play. He hasn't got the best shot but it isn't the worst, just cross or run. (8/10)
Martinez - 14k - At first I brought him on in my 352 Bund team for a bit of pace up front but he didn't seem to position himself that well and his shots seemed slow but since putting him in this formation he's been much more effective.
His work rates mean he's always available on the edge of the box for a pass, his passing is okay but not amazing, same can be said for his crossing (which is annoying because he shouldn't be in crossing positions), his shot is accurate and he can shoot powerfully or accurately to both corners, his touch is good and is combined with good strength.
His trying to beat the offside trap trait is evident which is probably why he is always available to cross and he has the pace to get to the through balls before the Dede's of this world, even pushing them off easily.
Finally his heading is brilliant and he can jump...what more would I want...(high attacking work rate) (9/10)
Adler - 10.25k - Brilliant but not incredible, for the price he is; best IF Bund GK I have used so far but I've not tried 2IF Steggen, better than IF Steggen and loves to make one on one saves as well as tipping long shots. Not seen him get injured just yet but I'm sure his time will come. Not much more I can say, he is solid and definitely worth the low asking price now his NIF is a higher rating. (9/10)
This team has now seen and update and looks like this -
Garay - 14k - Garay is an excellent defender who in attack and defence can be relied upon, His pace upgrade has made him a worthwhile purchase but he isn't going to catch Neymar. Where Neymar would struggle is 1 on 1 with Garay because his strength and tackling is consistently brilliant. In auto mode he strips most opponents and his passing allows him to move the ball around with ease. He does get forward a decent amount but he can get involved in those one touch moves and I found it a good way to involve him but not keep dragging him forward. His positioning around his box is great but perhaps when pushing up he can wander a tad; still apart from pace he is fantastic and a great card to have. Oh and his free kicks make up for losing Viana and including Matic for Chemistry reasons.
