Since joining the Premier League, the Brazilian has improved by leaps and bounds and has been a very important figure for West Ham this season.
Felipe Anderson is very good with the ball at his feet, he is technically sound and an efficient dribbler. He has averaged 2.1 successful dribbles per game in the Premier League and has tormented the opposition defense with his speed and skills on the left flank. He has been extremely effective on the counter attack and can also spot a pass very well.
On the field, the Brazilian is the creative spark in the West Ham team, but he does not shy away from his defensive responsibilities. Felipe Anderson also has a great eye for the goal and has already scored 10 goals and registered 4 assists from 39 games in all competitions this season.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two.
