Florin Bratu is a player with unique flaws and strengths. His finishing is absolutely mediocre and he's the sort of player who can't use his size properly to win aerial duels inside the box. His positioning is that of a sidemidfielder at best and his finishing would be even average for that. Yet he's a player who is of better use if being picked as a forward. For a winger he lacks the necessary technique and ability to put in good crosses to be valuable. What he does possess though is an incredible speed that can punish any defender who's not able to clear the ball before he gets to sprint. Speed is the major weapon of Bratu and this makes him the perfect forward for counter attacks. His stunning acceleration and his ability to keep the pace intact even on the ball often made coaches mistake him for a sidemidfielder. In reality he's absolutely great in moving to free space and despite him being not really accurate in normal shooting, he's quite good in 1vs1 situations vs the Keeper which is certainly helpful for a striker like him.

He's quite attack minded, shouldn't his aggression be higher?

I'd maybe up his mentality and aggression... but mentality more so... Bratu is really only a threat for counter attacks and such...

Still, he doesn't play that deep does he? And his attacking runs forwards show how attacking minded he is.. but I don't know Dinamo that well so it's your call really

well... it doesnt make him play deep but he won't be that attack minded either and that's something that Bratu doesn't excell at... he disappears in tight games and only seems to blossom when he's given space...

what I need to look at more closely is his agility though...

Florin Bratu runs 100 metres in 11.3 seconds

updated and standardized

Should have S04 - PK Taker if he has *Penalties

i must've missed it

thanks

signed a loan deal with bulgarian champ Litex Lovech apparently

his placement is good, but his shooting technique is horrible? sounds weird

his shooting technique is absolutely trash and 75 SA isn't high for a "forward". He's lethal in one on ones with a keeper but inside the box he's just absolutely useless when execution and placement matters.
