Playing Style Profiles
Firmino remains one of football's most complete forwards precisely because his value never announces itself loudly. Operating in the Stars League, his 0.61 goals per 90 places him in the top 20%, but the counterintuitive story lies in his defensive numbers: 0.67 interceptions per 90 ranks top 10% among forwards, and his tackles won rate sits in the top 20%—figures that belong to a midfielder, not a striker.
A Inside Forward. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, an elite creator (2.1 key passes/90), a constant goal threat (2.8 shots/90), a regular goalscorer (0.31 goals/90) and a prolific assist provider (0.26 assists/90).
