Player Review
90 - Headliners
A lot of reviews throw superlatives and pros and cons that arent specific to a certain game mode, playing style or patch which often make reviews unreliable. So im going to do my review based on the following conditions:
1. Gold 2 Player (19 wins)
2. New Patch (the no-finesse, park the bus)
3. 4231 formation with high press and fast counter attacking style.
So i bought Werner and used him for the first time in FIFA this year as i just started playing FIFA in the 2019 series (PES convert). As after the patch i was too reliant on fb Ibra like the rest of us and couldnt get the best chemistry out of him as i got georgie best, ballack, future alphonse davies and Third POTM Reus as the other players. I decided to try out Werner or fs havertz. I skipped havertz cos of his med/med work rate, and focused on Werner instead.
Werner, to put simply, is absolutely BROKENNNN.
Developers of EA must have a liking for bundesliga that they created this THING. He is, after a few months of playing FIFA 19 religiously, to me the BIGGEST GAME CHANGER there is in the game.
Currently his tally is at 28 games - 34 goals/14 assists. He is to me, the only shining light in this blackened, desolated, post patch landscape that is fifa 19. And I will never sell him. Post patch i have dropped to 1200 skill rating from 1600s within a week. Now i am back to 1600s and still climbing. On one run, winning 8 consecutive matches weekend league matches thanks to him.
His highlights include:
· High pressing - he is one of those strikers that can defend from up front, it suits him. It suits me too.
· Movement - his intelligent movements make flashback ibra's look like headless chicken.
· Dribbling - his 3* wf doesnt stop him, his ball rolls and 180 turns are almost on par with neymar.
· Finishing - i use powerful driven shot all the time with him and tho composure lacking he still finds the net 8/10
· Assists - assists inside penalty box is his secret weapon. his short passing stats are great and it shows. Mr POTM Reus feeds off his passes to score.
· Reaction - on par with Gabriel Jesus. also on par with Mr Miyagi catching a fly.
· 1 on 1 maker - the amount of times he goes 1v1 with opponent gk in games is astonishing. maybe at least 2-3 times per game he gets these chances. i cant name another who can do this.
· crossing, not really his job tho
