Gomes' favoured position can be said to be the left side midfield in a three man midfield, at which the club has Andres Iniesta and now Dennis Suarez at their disposal. But it seems his competition will be against Ivan Rakitic. However, he can effectively play anywhere in the midfield.

Addition to that, he can play as a left winger and provide able cover to Neymar. Gomes can dribble and his ability to play equally good with both feet is a quality hard to find in the modern footballing world.
